After 10 Years. . .

the families of 9/11 have some closure. Last night Barak Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. The Navy Seals did their duty and got that S.O.B. Thank you to all the military who have been working their tales off trying to get this guy and protect our soil! Without our armed forces, we would not be able to sleep peacefully at night. We would have to wonder if the next time we start our car it will be ht last. Thank you intelligence forces and armed forces.

Not to take away from this glorious moment, but I have to be the one to look at this realistically. Bin Laden may be dead, but that is not the end of the terrorism. His number two man is still out there and there are still many followers that are quite upset over this. We cannot rest. They are not going to try to strike now when everyone is on high alert. No, they will wait until everyone is at ease once again, like when 9/11 happened, then strike. They are not dumb people. Misguided and hateful? Yes. Dumb? No. Keep up your guard America, this is not the end. This is the last days as prophesied in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The world will grow angrier and more resentful before it gets better. Am I ecstatic that Osama is now dead? Of course I am! Am I still cautious? No doubt about it. Living in TX is especially scary for me because we don't have the security on the southern borders that we need. I should know, I lived in EP for six years and saw what came across on a daily basis. If we don't get protection to our borders Bin Laden being dead won't mean anything.

To end on a positive, he is dead. What do you think of your 72 virgins now bin Laden? Are you taking that one back yet? The rest of eternity in perdition doesn't seem so great now does it? At least you can no longer terrorize people on this earth. Now, families and to some extent the USA has some closure knowing that the ring leader of 9/11 has been sunk to the bottom of the sea. Thank you again to all who have so proudly and bravely served this great country and worked until the mission was accomplished. Now, if only the rest of the terrorists would throw up their arms in surrender.
