COLlive and news wires
The most prominent face of Muslim terror in America and beyond, Osama Bin Laden, has been killed in Pakistan, U.S. officials said Sunday night.
U.S. officials said that their forces have the body of bin Laden, founder of the jihadist terrorist network al-Qaeda, responsible for the September 11 attacks and numerous other mass-casualty attacks.
The enormity of the destruction — the World Trade Center’s towers devastated by two hijacked airplanes, the Pentagon partially destroyed by a third hijacked jetliner, a fourth flight crashed in rural Pennsylvania, and more than 3,000 people killed — gave bin Laden a global presence.
Even before September 11, bin Laden was already on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. The organization soon became America’s prime target in Bush’s war against global terrorism.
President Barack Obama addressed the U.S. nation and the world Sunday night, telling of the capture of bin Laden, saying “Justice has been done.”
A small team of Americans attacked the compound where the most-wanted man in the world was hiding in Abbottabad, Pakistan, capturing his body after a firefight.
Crowds have gathered outside the White House in Washington, DC to celebrate and cheer.
Bin Laden, yimach shmo, was an anti-Semite who delivered warnings against alleged Jewish conspiracies: “These Jews are masters of usury and leaders in treachery. They will leave you nothing, either in this world or the next.”
Bin Laden has consistently dwelt on the need for violent jihad to eliminate the state of Israel and its Jewish citizens.

PLEASE READ!!! this comment is to #48 but everyone can read! #48 was happy because “The modern day hitler was killed” PLEASE, be reminded that hitler, yemach shemoy, kileed around 12 million ppl and osama killed thousands. BIIIIG difference!!! Obviously i am still very happy that he is dead. please remember that hitler, unfortunately did more damage in more horrible ways.
there are still other terrorist groups

soooooooo happpy
talking about h-itler, both of them died on the same day (may 1)
dear airports, osama bin laden is dead. sincerely, could we bring shampoo now?
Is called a terrorist by everyone, but the palestinians are only “militants…”
very good we are sooooooooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See link below for the transcript of the speech.
Count the number of times he says WE and count the number of times he gives credit to every group under the sun- the military, the intelligence, the counterterrorism units, etc, etc, Then get back to all of us with those numbers, K?
You and people like you ruin it for those republicans who have legitimate criticisms of the Obama administration.

Mazal tov only simichas
already alat of terourist are dead so it means that moshiach is coming !!!!!!!:):)
Saddam was not captured on yud tes Kislev. It was chof beis. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynVHH2VIoe0
he actually did NOT give credit to Bush. His only reference to Bush was about how Bush also said this is not a war against Islam. Look, not everyone is good at picking up subtelties. But the fact is that a. the location for his speech (hallway) b. His entrance and exit c. His repeated use of “I” and “my” Are all part of his intention to get as much political credit out of this as possible. In his political parlance, every effort is made so that “he owns” this story. (By contrast, “disowning” was how he dealt with the… Read more »
tons of Jews were killed in 9/11, thats a very selfish thing to say!!!
Now that Revenge has been taken, Justice has been served and America has prevailed, will Obama bring our troops home?
G-d Bless America <3
37&41 total idiots, spouting off without listening to the speech. He gave credit to Bush, the military and the intelligence community, said nothing about himself.
Your collective criticisms of Obama would be better received if you actually gave credit where credit was due.
wow it’s realy a miricle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://matzav.com/video-fox-affiliate-reports-president-obama-is-dead-instead-of-osama#more-60108
to me this is a sign of moshiach
i heard he was thrown into the ocean.HE DESERVES IT!!
of this president obama
i am a fan of melech malchei hamlochim
king of kings
taking the words right out of my mouth.
KNEW!
that is says “binfol uyivcha al tismach”
see gemara mgila daf 16 that that is only by a yid not a goy
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
WE HAVE BEEN WAITING LIKE 10, 15 YEARS FOR THIS. BARUCH HASHEM! I SLEPT LAST NIGHT SO HAPPILY =) Hashem only does wonders. Soon Rubashkin will be freed and we will all walk to Geula!
is that really true?! If it is, BH!!!
What does 9/11 have to do with you?!
What planet are you living on??!! I guess it doesn’t matter that many Jews (including frum ones, if that makes a differrence to you) perished in those 3,000 people.
And you must not travel either, because all those security restrictions are because of 9/11.
Go sit in your dingy hole in the hood with no moral connection to the outside world….
# 77 are u serious???? There were hundrers of Jews that were killed September 11th plus diff attacks bin laden pland… And yes we have to care what happens in AMerica…. They are very good to the Jewish nation here … That’s a very selvish thing to ably care about our shechuna… Plus the news in are shechuna is what’s real garbage !!!!
Number 68 is right. He is killing our own enemies!!! He should continue!!1
It’s extremely good news!!! He killed soooo many Yidden!
Absolutely right!!!
EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT OPINIONS, DON’T ARGUE!
on another note: can Collive give us the EXACT facts? I just had to read through 78 comments and instead of them clarifying the facts, i now have a jumble of different dates and details.
on another, nother note:
Lets hope obama loses the coming uo election but it’s not very likely now…
btw, does anyone know who’s plans on running against him?!
absolutely.I said before to those like #8-H’ does something for the world and for us-to give a blow to those who are connected to the murder of shluchim and these m…….can only say so what and who cares????The workings of H’ should never ever be minimized!Did they say so what when 3000 innocent people were murdered? So when an Amolek gets killed they say so what??What an affront to the Almighty!!!This is what the ingrates do when H’ does something great!!
what does september 11th have to do with us lubavitchers anyways. we live in a shchuna that is separated from the goyim and ovdei kochavim. dont get all caught up in some hoopla just bec the rest of the wolrd is. we have our shchuna and that is good enough for us. lets stick to our news and forget about world news.
stop looking at the rest of the world to see what you should do and how you should act. if the rest of the world would jump off a building, would you? huh?
What an idiot! I have no doubt the Rebbe would have mentioned this in a sicha at a farbrengen! The death of an evil man who killed and hated yidden the world over would not have gone unnoticed the same way the Rebbe mentioned other evil men like Stalin and Arab terrorists. If anything is garbage its how your brain works! This event has every connection to Chof Ches Nisson: This is one more sign of Moshiach’s imminent arrival and as the Rebbe said it is up to us to do all that we can so it happens now! Everything… Read more »
Why would you post something about a sitra achra on a chabad website. no body in crown heights cares about this klipah. do you think this is what the rebbe would want us to talk about on chof-ches nissan. forget about this garbage and focus on bringing moshiach. also, who would be interested in watching the presidents speech also? do you really think the rebbe would care or say that its the right thing to watch such a speech. even if you dont watch it on tv, bringing the presidents speech into your house via internet is like bringing avoda… Read more »
There’s a well known difference between goyim and lehavdil Yidden in that regard. After Homon was hanged layehudim hoyso oiro VESIMCHA etc!
This is certainly a mechiyas amoleik and a ruach hatoomah aavir min hoorets as a hachono to the Geulah.
I don’t have Hebrew font but osama bin ladin is begimatria amoleik with the four oiseyois!
Boruch hashem
So Happy He Is Dead
Are you actually all there???!This is a gift from Hashem and all you can do is say so what? H’ enabled this to occur bec yes, Amolek had to be killed bec of what he did to so many innocent people!!!What planet do you live on bec there might be help out there for you.

Did anyone notice that he didn’t once use the word terrorism or terrorist? It was always the “war on Al Qaeda”.
Stephen Harper got it right when he said it’s good news, but it’s not over. International terrorism includes many other organizations like Al-Qaeda.
(Lots of luck Mr. Harper, in the elections today!)
Was Bin Laden, yemoch shmo, responsible for the attacks on India, including the Chabad house?
FFFIIINNNAAALLLLLLYYY!!!
Interesting observation – Obama on Osama / Bush on Saddam:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynVHH2VIoe0
Moshiach times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so appaerently hitler and osama died the same day….
he was the 1 who planed to crash the twin towers
Osama Bin Laden didn’t really die he is hiding out somewhere in Fort Lauderdale,Florida under the banner of a yellow Moshiach flag.
we dont rejoice over our enemies downfall\
“Pour you wrath onto the nations and to the people who do not know your name…”
it did not happen a week ago
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/osama_dead.php
Actually, it probably happened 10 years ago. He was very ill, and we have not heard from him in 10 years. When he was here, we heard from him all the time. Google it. The U.S. tried to wipe out all evidence of this but have failed. They are prob saying this now to boost Obama and take attention away from trying to kill Gadafi, but when this pretense of killing him comes out, Obama will not look good.
we heard the news today!
thats the hashgocho protis about it!!!!
tut altz vos ich kent- they did all they could to kill him
and so just like they accomplished their mission, thats a sign that we did all we can and its time 4 moshiach to come NOW!!!!!!
The Pakistanis knew where he was all along. A few km from the capital next door to the military academy!!! Because of the same Pakistanis that attacked the chabad house.
Pakistan should be bombed. not get billions $$
yyaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!! thank you hashem for everything!!!! woooooooooooooooooooow im sooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
finally the modern hitler has been killed!
boruch hashem!

what a “Hashgacha Pratis”!!!!!!!!!
not only Ahmadinejad but all of their friends as well. 🙂
Zol zain far aleh reshoim omain veomain

It just shows what Obama is all about. America would have never killed Osama if Bush hadn’t taken the war to the enemy.
and it was announced on 28 NIssan!! This is a revelation of moshiach. … Let’s dance and sing and scream ‘Ad Masai” B’EMES! May the true and complete redemption be revealed tekef u’miyad mamash!!
Tut altz vos ir kent!
Ahmadinajad, Kadafi, Mashaal, Assad, Nassralla, Khamini, Abu Maazan, …. should i go on?
a. Note how he says “I, I, I, my, etc.” It’s never “our national security team” or the like, but it is always him him him. He did not even mention President Bush, even though it is clear that this never would have happened if not for the fact that Bush took the fight to the enemy and had Osama on the run and hiding like a rat. At least on this day he can give just a little credit to his predecessor! b. Every aspect of his speech was choregraphed for maximum political effect. Trust me, the white house… Read more »
they should chop up his body into little pieces and send a toe back to al-queida
Ahmadinejad, bin Laden is waiting for you in hell!
בנפל אויבך אל תשמח, ובכשלו אל יגל לבך – משלי כ”’ד:י”ז

MOSHIACH IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IY”H next Sholom Rubashkin will be out of prison!
why gaddafi what right does the us have to go and kill someone who hasnt done anything to the usa what is this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reports are coming out that Trump wants to see Osama’s death certificate.
On a serious note though, Obama has taken a sharp turn for the worse politically, and based on his speech that he was sitting on this lead for a year, I think he pulled out this card to stabilize his career a bit. Will find out more details in the days and weeks ahead.
Gevaldik
out of all presidents Osama is killed under President Obama
Can we now keep our shoes on at the airport???
of course its way better if hes dead!!
