Osama bin Laden dead - May 1, 2011
It's about the attacks on American soil on September 11, 2001 - the day that changed America forever.
It's about the nearly 3,000 lives lost on one September morning; and the 6,000 plus lives of our Military who gave up their lives to fight a War on Terror; hunting down the mastermind of September's attacks, Osama bin Laden; fighting the Taliban and al-Qaida in three countries for the past ten years; the loss of loved ones and the orphans left behind; the grief that time cannot erase; the sacrifices of all our Military and Intelligence professionals; a time in history that Americans will "Never Forget"; the pride and not apologies for defending our nation against Islamic ideology and terror; ....
It's about defining and knowing our enemy; not supporting and funding terrorist, non-state organizations who do not wear uniforms, but hide behind women and children; and al-Qaida is not the only Islamic organization threatening the peace and security of civilians throughout this world; the Palestinians support of al-Qaida and its recent remarks about their anger over bin Laden's death are proof enough, that America still has a long way to go before stomping out this new-wave of terror that began BEFORE 9-11 and only the good Lord knows when it shall end ....
It should also be about America supporting its allies who are also on the font lines of fighting terrorism and the State of Israel comes to mind; so does the United Kingdom - just two allies of the United States that have been either pushed aside to defend Muslims, or ignored entirely by this present administration ....
And, lastly, since Americans are fully aware that the death of Osama bin Laden does not end the War on Terror, it would be nice if the Obama Administration went back to the era where Americans understood who the enemy is, rather than removing language implemented by the first President who began the hunt for bin Laden, President Bush. "War on Terror, Islamic extremists, etc." should NEVER have been removed from the pages of America's Homeland Security and other Federal organizations. This war remains the same and the enemies of civilization remain the same - call it as you see it, not as you would like to have it!
IT IS ALL ABOUT THE FOLLOWING (SEE VIDEO):
and this:
God bless America! God bless our troops! and God bless all who are in this fight against the War on Terror.
"It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag."
and a special thanks to our Navy Seals for their task completed on May 1, 2011.
