Obama Got Osama!!!

(CNN) -- The mastermind of the worst terrorist attack on American soil is dead, U.S. President Barack Obama announced late Sunday night, almost 10 years after the attacks that killed more than 3,000 people.

Osama bin Laden -- the longtime leader of al Qaeda -- was killed by U.S. forces in a mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members, a senior U.S. official told CNN.

U.S. officials have taken custody of bin Laden's body, Obama said. No Americans were harmed in the operation, he added.

On a personal note: The mastermind of September 11, 2001, the greatest terrorist attack on America has finally faced justice. The American people are good and well intended people, but if you do us harm we will make you pay no matter how long it takes. The world is not big enough for you to hide, there is no hole deep enough to crawl in to, no mountain high enough to scale to escape the wrath of an injured America. Ordinarily I would not celebrate a person's death, but if anyone in history needed to die for their crimes, it's Osama bin Laden.

All thanks needs to go to our American Military and our political leaders, Presidents Barack Obama, George Bush and Bill Clinton. There should not be any partisan politics credited for this success, but make no mistake about it, Barack Obama's persistence won the day. Let us not forget the victims of 911 and the many soldiers who have lost their lives or been maimed in this effort.
