Who Killed Osama Bin Laden

Due to secret Cuban operations, the CIA had both a motive and means to kill John F Kennedy. Throughout most of JFK’s presidency, he was highly critical of the CIA; however, it was not always this way. JFK had been in support of CIA operations in Cuba until, according to MaryFerrell.org, “This changed with the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, inherited from the Eisenhower administration. Kennedy accepted responsibility publicly, but privately blamed the CIA and obtained the resignation of longtime Director Allen Dulles and others. He also implemented NSAM 55, transferring control of paramilitary operations to the Defense Dept”(MaryFerrell.org). This was not only the start of poor relations between JFK and the CIA, but triggered many CIA personnel to blame JFK privately for their failure. Leaving many CIA officers very

Beginning in 2001 Intelligence about the impending nature of an attack was increasing, not only from US Intelligence sources but also from 11 other countries such as Britain, Israel, India, Egypt, Morocco and even a top Taliban commander from Afghanistan (Thompson.) Beginning in August warnings become coming in from everywhere, foreign governments, CIA and FBI sources and so on however, next to none of this information was shared between the many intelligence agencies. In April, NORAD launched a training scenario in which the pentagon was to be incapacitated by a hijacked airliner however the Joint Chiefs of Staff disregarded the scenario as “too unrealistic” (September 11 attacks advance-knowledge debate.) On august 19th the Israeli’s gave US intelligence personnel credible information including, the list of 19 suspected terrorist’s names and the fact that a large aircraft would be the primary weapon involved. The names were not shared by the CIA with other intelligence agencies (Robinson.)

The news comes in as a good look for the US and that accomplishment somewhat ensured the re-election of Obama in 2012. A western diplomat described the news as a "game changer"- not just for al-Qaida, but also for US foreign policy in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a region embroiled in turmoil and violence in 2001.Some fear that Bin Ladens death could spark a precipitous US withdrawal from the region with the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan still unresolved("Osama Bin Laden is Dead").

Another major unsuccessful attempt to attack was in October of 2012. Two packages were being transported from Yemen to the United States, and those packages contained 300 to 400 grams of explosives. The bombs were discovered during two stopovers at the airport in the United Kingdom and in Dubai. A week later, after the packages were found, Al Qaeda took responsibility for the attempt yet again (“Major Al Qaeda attacks,” n.d.).

Bin Laden led the most devastating attack on civilians in the United States ever, but in the first year of the war the United States killed more than half of the amount of Afghan civilians, than those who died in the attacks on 9/11. And after the first year the United States had killed approximately the same amount of civilians than were killed on 9/11. That is where Operation Enduring Freedom starts to be questioned, is it worth going after one guy and bringing as much destruction and devastation to the civilians in Afghan. The United States finally pulled out of afghanistan in December of 2011 and at that point in time it is estimated that between 13876 to 16050 Afghan civilians had been killed by the United States in a childish attempt to capture Bin

On May 2nd, 2011, the people of the United States awoke to some of the best news they would hear for many years to come; Osama bin Laden had been killed. President Barack Obama delivered the message at 7:30AM and the country was buzzing about it for weeks after. Osama bin Laden was a name that every American man, woman, and child knew. On 9-11-01, four planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into strategic locations to sow chaos, confusion, death, and destruction into the American people. 2,977 innocent Americans died on that fateful day, and the man who decided they should die and be subject to terror was Osama bin Laden. Since that fateful day, America has donated massive amounts of time and money to find Osama, and bring him to justice. However, time and time again he evaded capture and kept us chasing him.

In summary, the article claims that an Al-Qaeda propaganda magazine, titled al-Masr?, stated that Bin Laden, upon hearing about the EgyptAir plane crash on November 1st, 2000, asked ?Why didn?t [Gameel Al-Batouti] crash [the plane] into a building?? Osama was said to be inspired by the deliberate crashing of the EgyptAir plane. The al-Masr? article then goes on to claim that that moment of inspiration was the origin of the 9/11 plot.

How would you feel if a man responsible for the deaths of 1,000’s of people was killed? Osama Bin Laden was born to a wealthy Saudi Arabian family. He got his start in the Military when he joined the Mujahideen and defended Afghanistan from the Soviet Union. Later in the early 90’s the US invaded Kuwait and stationed troops in Saudi Arabia, which got Bin Laden angry and he started conducting terrorist attacks against the US (CNN 1). The US was hunting Bin Laden for most of the 90’s and 2000’s (BBC 1). In 2011 he was finally found and killed. The assassination of Osama Bin Laden was just because he was an international terrorist; however others believed he was trying to stop American influence in the region.

We have had several President throughout our lifetime some were favored while others were questionable, but there is no deny that JFK was one of the most loved and favored presidents of the United States. However some people despite JFK good deed hated him, and decided to end his life. Even if they would be locked up in prison or sentenced to death they made the choice to end John F. Kennedy life. On November 22, 1963 the youngest president died at one pm in the Dealey Plaza of dallas. The president arrived on a private plane named air force 1 and was greeted by several U.S citizens and press. The president and his wife were escorted down to there car that had the top down. They drove around town as there was several people visiting the president and greeting him. It wasn't until they

After the May 2, 2011 US Navy SEALS raid on Bin Laden’s Pakistan secret compound, the US government received criticism regarding holes in their report of his killing. No pictures or video were released of the body before its almost immediate disposal, and Michael Morrel, then-Deputy Director of the CIA, conceded that “there are parts of the US account the world may never be told,” (Corbin 20-3). Journalist Seymour Hersh (whose previous scoops include Iraqi prison torture, and whose reporting is matched by New York Times author on the subject Carlotta Gall) published an article in the London Review of Books citing an unnamed retired senior intelligence officer claiming that unlike what the US reported, the assassination was an illegal “extrajudicial execution”, violating “the right to life” (Doebbler 3), as someone can only be killed under these circumstances legally if they “pose an immediate risk to life” (Robertson 3) (Hersh states Bin Laden was unarmed).

Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden claimed responsibility for the 2001 attacks against the United States on Arabic TV. It was rumored that the Pakistani government of Pervez Musharraf offered Osama Bin Laden a peace deal to safe harbor him within its borders to cede control of tribal areas in mountainous Waziristan, to Taliban forces. Pakistan's military and political establishments were said to have been aware of Bin Laden's location and helped to

But Bin Laden, the object of the military campaign in Afghanistan, remained at large.” Many promises were made by the government that this terrorist would be found in no time. However, instead of finding their enemy, the government ended up killing several civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq just to make it look like as if they were working hard on their mission. What is even harder to believe is the fact that nearly seven years after the World Trade Center attacks, millions of civilians have been killed, but Osama has yet to be found.

The CIA had worked with Pakistani intelligence (ISI) during the Soviet war. US operations in Afghanistan blurred the edges of the relationship in the early 1990s. Upon losing interest in Afghanistan, the US imposed sanctions against Pakistan’s nuclear program degrading the ISI relationship further. In 2008, the US fired missiles into Pakistan without warning, thus dissolving any relationship still in existence at the time. When faced with being affiliated with a CIA operative following a shooting in Pakistan, the US was able to make the decision with full knowledge of the

As you are aware Mr. President, in 2008, three of our intelligence operations officers were murdered, following their kidnapping
