The CIA, under direct orders from the President, launched a convert operation based on human intelligence of Bin Laden's location in August of 2010. Last week, with the help of the Pakistani governmental counter-terrorism office, the information was deemed strong enough to act upon, and early today, Obama gave the order to storm the mansion where Osama bin Laden was hiding, in a small Pakistani city near the capital, Islamabad. Fire was exchanged between the mansion and a small, highly specialized US combat force. No US citizens were harmed, and Osama's body was taken into US custody. His identity was confirmed, and President Obama addressed the nation at 11:35 ish pm EST relating what I have just summarized to you.
But, unless you've been living under a rock, you already knew this.
Long live the USA.
