In a extremely unusual speech (one commentator said that he hadn’t seen this abrupt of an announcement since the failed rescue announcement of the Iran hostages by Jimmy Carter), President Obama   is expected to announce that the US has the body of Osama Bin Laden.  Journalists everywhere have been scrambling to find for the last half hour what Obama was calling the press conference for.  Leaks only began spouting after the 7:30 announced time for Obama to speak.  Voice of America just retweeted that a House Intelligence Aide confirmed that Obama is expected to speak about Osama Bin Laden being dead and his body being in the hands of the United States. The speech has now been moved to 7:50 our time you can follow it here.

Thank-you Kym
I had already turned my TV off. I watched 9/11 live on TV as it happened, and now thanks to you I was able to watch the conclusion that I have so long hoped for. I have never been so profoundly affected as I was watching those New York firefigters rush in to the Twin Towers, then watching those towers collapsing, knowing full-well the death that was happening inside.

in this time of celebration we need to keep in focus what Jesus would say about this, assassination is good trials are bad? We have been assassinating people for years, in fact we just killed a Kaddhfi son and three of his grandkids, with no remorse. This gloating is unseemly.
