But my idea is that real truth will never surface! Why can't anyone thinks that American intelligence led the Pakistan intelligence to corner the Osama into Mainland , so , Bin laden could be destroyed easily!

Any way now Osama no more! Other terrorist leaders will have the same fate!

I'm a bit disgusted by some mainstream media...specifically I watched MSNBC, BBC and Al Jazeera to name few they do so politized it, purposefully in Obama's favor to the extent that they spoil the achievement.

Without a doubt it's a great day and great achievement....leave politics aside. Yes Obama did well, obvioulsy, and will get the right portion of credit whatever due.
