02.05.2011 - Usáma bin Ládin byl zabit

Citace :

Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.


It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory. Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky.


The Twin Towers collapsing to the ground. Black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon. The wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.


And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world. The empty seat at the dinner table.


Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father. Parents who would never know the feeling of their child's embrace.


Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.


On September 11th, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together. We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood. We reaffirmed our ties to each other and our love of community and country.


On that day, no matter where we came from, what god we prayed to or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family. We were also united in our resolve, to protect our nation and to -- to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.


We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda, an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe. And so we went to war against al Qaeda, to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.


Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we've made great strides in that effort. We've disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.


In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support. And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.


Yet, Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan. Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.


And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda. Even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle and defeat his network.


Then last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain. And it took many months to run this thread to ground.


I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside Pakistan.


And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.


Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abad Abad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties.


After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.


For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda's leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.


The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda.


And his death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.


As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. I've made clear just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11 that our war is not against Islam. Bin laden was not a Muslim leader. He was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al Qaeda slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries including our own.


So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity. Over the years, I've repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was. That is what we've done.


But it's important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding. Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.


Tonight I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts. They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations. And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.


The American people did not choose this fight. It came to our shores and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens. After nearly 10 years of service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.


These efforts weigh on me every time I, as commander in chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one or look into the eyes of a service member who's been gravely wounded.


So Americans understand the costs of war. Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed. We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies. We will be true to the values that make us who we are.


And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda's terror, justice has been done.


Tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who've worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work nor know their names, but tonight they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.


We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country. And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.


Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11, that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.


And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. I know that it has, at times, frayed. Yet today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.


The cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to. That is the story of our history. Whether it's the pursuit of prosperity for our people or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.


Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.


Thank you. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

Citace :

We condemn the assassination and the killing of an Arab holy warrior. We regard this as a continuation of the American policy based on oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab blood.

Citace :

I would definitely view this as a major, indeed, mega-landmark event, marking the end of a life of a person who clearly was involved in outrageous acts of terror and destruction. It is certainly our hope that this would mark the beginning of an end of a very dark era.

Tri verzie v kocke


Pondelková verzia: búrlivá prestrelka, museli sme zabíjať. Usama kládol ozbrojený odpor, komando ho nemohlo zatknúť a museli ho zastreliť. Ládina zabil projektil, ktorý ho zasiahol do hlavy. Manželku použil ako živý štít. Ženu zastrelili.


Utorková verzia: Nemuseli sme zabíjať, ale bolo to istejšie. Usama nebol ozbrojený v čase, keď ho Američania zastrelili. Manželku nepoužil ako živý štít a nezastrelili ju. Utrpela iba priestrel nohy. Je v pakistanskej nemocnici.


Piatková verzia: Nik v Usamovom dome nebol ozbrojený, ale ako sme to mali vedieť?

Pánové, žádný sentiment, jistě nastoupí další parchant a já doufám, že mu zase někdo podřízne krk. Je to koloběh dějin. Radujte se a nefilosofujte.

Během operace byli v Abbottabadu přítomni i příslušníci pakistánské tajné služby ISI.

Citace - ivoš :

Je to celé nějak nazadrhmo. Ukážou fotku údajného Usámy, pak fotku někoho vousatého, který vypadá jako když ho banda skinů umlátila pálkami a ne že dostal jednu olověnou do hlavy, pak pákistánská média stáhnou fotku, že prý to není ta pravá, pak někdo řekne, že taková fotka byla na netu už před dvěma lety... Všechno je to velmi důvěryhodné. Hlavně, když jsou v dohledu prezidentské volby v USA.

Citace :

the identification of Osama bin Laden. First, he was visually identified on the scene by those who conducted the raid. Also on the scene, one of the women on the compound who we assessed to be one of his wives identified him by name as Osama bin Laden. CIA specialists compared photos of the body to known photos of bin Laden last evening, and were able to determine with 95-percent certainty that the body was Osama bin Laden. And finally, this morning, CIA and other specialists in the intelligence community performed the initial DNA analysis matching a virtually 100-percent DNA match of the body against DNA of several bin Laden family members.

No, to bude možná ten problém.To že to nevíme (respektive to že se tím nikde narozdíl od Al-Káidy, Talibanu, Bašajevovců a podobné verbeže nechlubí a nepovažují to za svou oficiální politiku) může snadno vzbuzovat falešný dojem že tomu tak není.Na druhou stranu, jak je to dlouho co se objevily záběry z Afghánu na kterých se pózovalo s mrtvolami?Nebo předtím záběry z Abu Graib kde se sice argumentovalo tím jak tam Saddám mučil vězně ale "noví správci" reálně vězně pouze vyměnili a pokračovali v zajetých metodách (pravda, byli za to potrestáni avšak jako u většiny podobných afér se nelze nezeptat zda byli trestáni proto že to spáchali nebo proto že to spáchali a ještě to celé prasklo)?Přitom už měly být nějakou dobu "uleželé".Takže raději bych se na to "že to nedělejí" nesázel...Možná to prostě zatím jen nevyhnilo na povrch.


Stran výslechů, dalo by se souhlasit nicméně osobně by mě zajímalo jak by jsi hodnotil shodné mučení (tedy shodné metody) zajatců jako používají američani v Guantánamu pokud by bylo použito třeba Talibanem proti američanům (nebo třeba polákům na kampani v Afghánu participujícím - to už je fuk) a to za stejným účelem.Asi by to už zas tak jednoduché nebylo, což?


Ona válka je svinstvo a v těch minulých bez výjimky platilo "jeden za osmnáct, druhý bez dvou za dvacet" a osobně nejsem přesvědčen o tom že by na tom válka v Afghánu něco skokově změnila.

- jestli americane nejakeho zajatce nekde zastrelili se skutecne nedozvime, ale myslim si, ze plati vyse uvedeny bod, tedy ze se jedna o iniciativy jednotlivcu, na rozdil od "systemoveho" vrazdeni, jake nam predvedl treba Adolf Hitler s ruskymi zajatci ci zajatci z rad Commandos ci treba nasimi letci. A to se bavime o regulerni valce, kdy az to skonci, vsichni se vice mene spokojene rozejdou do svych domovu a vypraveji pribehy svym vnoucatum. Tato valka ale takova neni, jednoho pustis ven z vezeni a za mesic ho mas s bombou u pasu nekde na policejni stanici ... Podobne je to s piraty, oni je chyti, pak se je podle zapadnich soudu snazej soudit, pak je pustej nebo zavrou na par mesicu ... Pritom zastrelit je by bylo vyrazne jednodussi a poucnejsi, lec chapu, ze pro predposranou pacifistickou zapadni spolecnost soucasnosti je to naprosto neprekonatelne.

- ad tyrani zajatcu na Americanech, zkus si precist jednu dve knizky od letcu ze Zalivu 1991. Dam ti par jmen, a zkus si precist jejich vzpominky, jak slechetne se k nim iracti vojaci a tajne sluzby chovaly ... O mlaceni do zlomenych koncetin, opakovanem vyklubovani ramen, hladovky az po "obycejne" brutalni biti hlava nehlava ... A pak se muzeme bavit o tom, zdali to, co se deje v Abu Grajbu nebo Gitmu je "fer" ci nikoliv. Navic jestli si myslis, ze Afganci se k zajatcum chovaji v rukavickach, tak nechovaji

Citace - Admin :

takze o cem to cele je ? nemyslim si, ze veris, ze by se vsude a vzdy vsichni zapadni vojaci chovali jako divoka zver, ze by bezmyslenkovite mucili a vrazdili vse, na co narazi ... Alespon o jedne strane konfliktu v Afghanu se to da s jistotou rict, o te druhe nikoliv.
