Bin Quotations

Obama killed Osama. Yes, President Barack Obama gets to crow about the killing of Osama bin Laden.

I appreciate my brother, His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the U.A.E. and Ruler of Dubai, and the Council of Ministers, who face every morning challenges, but plan and remove all obstacles to score achievements.

True enough, Osama bin Laden is dead and other al-Qaeda leaders have joined him. But, the assassination of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi is a brutal reminder that radical Islamic terror groups have not disappeared and certainly are not dormant.

The best Governments of the World have bin composed of Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy.

We need to keep examining evilness. For instance, I'm totally against the fact that Osama bin Laden was shot. I think that he should have been put on trial and exposed as that human being he was. I think he should've been standing mentally naked in front of the rest of us and stand to justice for what he did.

It was, however, in the interest of Osama bin Laden for us to destroy a secular Arab leader; it was very much in the interest of the Iranians because they wanted revenge against Saddam Hussein for Iraq's invasion in 1980.

In my downtime, you'll mostly find me curled up with a book. I love reading biographies. My favourites are those of Dalai Lama, Osama Bin Laden, and Einstein.

When we go to war, our politicians will be guided by our popular will. And if we believe that torture 'got' bin Laden, then we will be more prone to accept the view that a good 'end' can justify brutal 'means.'

We know that al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has some very dangerous, very important leaders who are tied directly to the top leadership of al Qaeda central, including a man who was formerly Osama bin Laden's secretary.

The real question was, here we had this information, Bin Laden intends to strike in the United States. We knew they had struck before in 1993 at the World Trade Center in the first bombing of the trade center.

In the case of 'Zero Dark Thirty,' about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, an issue that is central to the film - torture - is so important that I feel I must say something. Mark Boal and Kathryn Bigelow have been irresponsible and inaccurate in the way they have treated this issue in their film.

Without the connotation good or bad, bin Laden's a great man in the sense that he's influenced the course of history.

We climbed the stairs to the third floor, where Osama bin Laden died early in the morning of May 2, 2011.

Fame necessarily isn't really tied to success at all. Fame is just being recognized for doing what you do, whether it's good or bad. Osama bin Laden was famous.

I'm much better informed than Mr. Clarke ever was about the nature of the intelligence that was available again Osama bin Laden and which was consistently denigrated by himself and Mr. Tenet.

Hackney at certain epochs has given itself suburban airs and graces, before being slapped down and consigned once more to the dump bin of aborted ambition.

Saudi Arabia was, until just a few years ago, probably one of the most safe countries on earth. And now the paper is daily full of activities and shootouts between Islamists who supported Osama bin Laden and the government there.

I think the real target of al-Qaeda is Saudi Arabia by the way. They hate us and we're a vehicle to get at Saudi Arabia. I think Osama bin Laden really wants to topple that regime and have his people move in, but that's a whole other story.

Because Bin Laden's culture doesn't permit the worship of images, they understand how powerful images are. We wouldn't have thought of creating a visual bomb. In a way, he's chopped down two iconic buildings, and used our very truth imagery, to express himself. It's fascinating... I mean, dreadful.

I bashed myself. I cut myself. I caught on fire. I fell: I had been myopically focused on peeling garlic, and hadn't noticed a bin of beef at my feet until I walked into it.

Bin Laden is remarkably eager for Americans to know why he doesn't like us, what he intends to do about it and then following up and doing something about it in terms of military actions.

Pop music has been all but relegated to the remainder bin at MTV and VH1, where high-maintenance concoctions such as Paris Hilton, Flavor Flav, and Hulk Hogan's biohazard clan of bleached specimens provide endless hours of death-hastening diversion.

The world is lousy with Arab princes. And if we could have got Osama bin Laden, and saved at some point down the road 3,000 American lives, a few less Arab princes would have been OK in my book.

The Obama administration leaks classified information continuously. They do it to glorify the President, or manipulate public opinion, or even to help produce a pre-election propaganda film about the Osama bin Laden raid.

With the death of bin Laden, it's finally time for Congress to bring back the pre-9-11 legal norm, before we decided it was okay to toss out our civil liberties if the 'bad guys' were scary enough.

We must erase bin Laden's ugly legacy, not extend it: by ending the Patriot Act's erosion of our civil liberties, we can protect the freedoms that make America worth fighting for.

The best way to demonstrate the values of a western democracy is you put Osama bin Laden on trial; you challenge what he says.

Maybe I'm just a psycho, and the stage is a better place to go than either the loony bin or somewhere else.

The government of Sudan, employing a back channel direct from its president to the Central Intelligence Agency, offered in the early spring of 1996 to arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in Saudi custody, according to officials and former officials in all three countries.

After the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the Obama administration steadfastly refused to say which element of the U.S. military had participated in the assault. Until Vice President Joe Biden decided to talk about it on national television, that is.

Four years ago, I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. We have. We've blunted the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan, and in 2014, our longest war will be over. A new tower rises above the New York skyline, al Qaeda is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead.

Turkey's solidarity with Hamas is not, of course, based on Arab nationalism, which as a non-Arab nation it does not support. It is instead based on a definition of the Mideast conflict as one between Jews and Muslims, precisely the position of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.

For a long time, I was portrayed as the Osama bin Laden of the Internet, and I really wanted to be able to tell my side of the story. I wanted to be able to explain exactly what I did and what I didn't do to people who thought they knew me.

Right after the assassination of Osama bin Laden, amid all the cheers and applause, there were a few critical comments questioning the legality of the act.

There are conditions, which shows they had concerns, but it's all procedural and relies entirely on good faith. There's nothing those conditions ... nothing that assures us they're not hiring someone with bin Laden.

When you talk only of bin Laden, frankly, the issue is not going and locating one individual,

When we consider Iran, Nigeria and now the tape from Bin Laden, the terror premium must be put back into the price.

We've got information about who's backing bin Laden and, in a lot of cases, it goes back to the royal family.

There are few bin Laden can trust, in terms of family, just to reinforce loyalty, it creates intricate web that can insulate any defections,

The reality is that we will be reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Osama bin Laden. He will never appear in an American courtroom. That's the reality. He will be killed by us, or he will be killed by his own people so he's not captured by us. We know that.

When we started after Osama bin Laden, we really decided to go after the Taliban. And we seemed to be content to kick the Taliban out of Kandahar. And then we let Osama bin Laden escape from Tora Bora.

Most of the time it's just a damaged or missing recycling bin that's the problem.

Obviously, the death of Usama Bin Laden marked a strategic milestone in our effort to defeat al-Qa'ida. Unfortunately, Bin Laden's death, and the death and capture of many other al-Qa'ida leaders and operatives, does not mark the end of that terrorist organization or its efforts to attack the United States and other countries.

One of the mums has made a large sign that reads 'Kids On Road', which is permanently affixed to her recycling bin and we wheel this on to the kerb outside one cul-de-sac entrance. However, all traffic in our area now knows our Friday ritual and slows or stop.

I cut things off because I no longer want to be like a wall, or a rubbish bin where you dump anything you want.

I am confident ... that very serious effort is being given not only to the tape itself and whether or not it might represent the voice of bin Laden, but also to the content of the tape and what might be signaled in the wording of the tape,

If Osama bin Laden is still Public Enemy No. 1, we have a challenge to find him among Pashto-speaking people whose nuances we're poorly prepared to interpret.

Given the impact that Bin Laden has had on the recent history of the world, there is surprisingly a good deal that remains mysterious about him.

I don't think he's got anything to say at the moment. At least nothing that bin Laden can point to as a success.

If anyone knows where he is and thinks someone else will turn him in, they might think, 'Hey, it might as well be me that collects the reward money.' So turning in bin Laden can become a corrosive, self-fulfilling prophecy.

For us, the death of Osama bin Laden is a time of profound reflection. With his death, we remember and mourn all the lives lost on September 11. We remember and mourn all the lives lost in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan. We remember and mourn the death of our soldiers.

We've forgotten to respect clothes and consider who made them and where the material came from. We've been encouraged to buy things and, if we don't like them, bin them. When I grew up, we'd repair things or alter them.

His movement has transformed successfully from one organization into about 14 organizations that spread out across the world, ... Efforts by the Pakistani Army to go after bin Laden, the so-called spring and summer offensives, have again and again ended in failure.

Well, you got to remember, bin Laden killed 3,000 Americans and, in some ways, he and his ideology killed tens of thousands of his fellow Muslims, including Pakistanis. I understand that that was provocative and complicated for Pakistan, but only if you accept the idea that he was an acceptable member of Pakistani society.

King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz has chosen Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz as Crown prince in accordance with Article 5 of the basic system of government,

Just the fact that we don't even know how much money bin Laden has, whether its $50 million, or $300 million, or some other number, shows you how hard it's going to be.

It is clear that all roads lead to al Qaeda and pinpoint Osama bin Laden as having been involved in it.

I think we're going to control al Qaeda. I think we're going to get Osama bin Laden. We won in Afghanistan. We won in Iraq, and we can contain that.

I think bin Laden shares that view, and that is why I'm not repulsed by his embrace of my book, because that is one of my major themes.

I think about what's going down my sink. So I won't pour oil down my sink. I won't - if I'm cleaning a pan, I'll wipe it and bin because I've seen - I've been down sewers.

On the subject of Osama bin Laden... we will track him down. We will capture him. We will bring him to justice, and I will follow him to the gates of hell.

Look at Iraq; look at Afghanistan, where at great personal physical risk people have gone to the polls and have rejected the appeal from Bin Laden and his allies to stay at home.

Let me say what I actually believe. I believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy, by Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden, and no one else trying to hurt America.

It didn't take 2,000 years to develop the process of making bread for us to bin it without consequences.

I thought it was going to help. I thought it would help remind people that if bin Laden doesn't want Bush to be the President, something must be right with Bush.

Man was created a little lower than the angels and has bin getting a little lower ever since.

I would like to see us find Osama Bin Laden, but let's say we did capture him. Let's say we did kill him. How much good would that do? There's still thousands of people behind him. It's this huge thing.

To look for bin Laden now is as useful as detaining nuclear scientists after the creation of the atomic bomb.

We get the magazine in question. Just like every other office, we put it in the recycle bin when it arrives.

We have a variety of intelligence and we're sure we're going to catch Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar this year. We've learned lessons from Iraq and we're getting improved intelligence from the Afghan people.

The problem is, the longer this goes on, the harder it becomes. The worst truth is that bin Laden is welcomed in much of Pakistan, and can hide out and be protected by the local community with something close to impunity.

We're not trying any harder or less to find bin Laden than we've been doing since 9/11. It's a tough problem, and we have a lot or resources dedicated to it.

We discussed...in broad strokes, the aid that's already going to help the Afghan people, ... the need to put together a broader coalition, probably under the mandate of the United Nations, but with our strong support of follow-on after this undertaking to take out Mr. bin Laden and his associates happens.

Yang Bin inherited the outspoken style from the Southern Metropolis News , which annoyed some central officials in Beijing.

The Dems are focused on process, not results. Clinton knew bin Laden was a threat, and he attempted to 'undertake measures.' That bin Laden plotted to kill 3,000 Americans during the waning years of his term is irrelevant. Since Clinton didn't run afoul of multilateral institutions, he gets a pass. Bush has toppled two totalitarian regimes, rescued millions from Saddam and killed or detained thousands of terrorists. But he's still an ideologue and an international rogue, so, the Dems say, he has to go.

The death penalty is inhumane... whether that person is in a jail or it's bin Laden.

The real turning point in the game was a 10-minute period when we had a guy in the bin and we went up by 14. We came out of that period well. That was the point where we bowed our backs, and that made the difference in the match.

The real target is creating enough chaos in Iraq so that an extremist government can emerge there that would be friendly and conducive to the form of ideology that bin Laden, Zawahiri and Zarqawi believe in.

The really hard thing is how do you get the information in the first place? How do you get someone to rat on someone like bin Laden? That is so difficult and that requires years and patience and money, ... Inside the CIA.

When Bush had an opportunity to capture or kill bin Laden, he took his focus off of him, outsourced the job to Afghan warlords and bin Laden escaped.

With every story that TV covers, somebody - some corporation, some shareholders - are making money. That's true whether covering Libya, Iraq, the tsunami in Japan, Osama bin Laden, whatever story there is. That day, the shareholders are making money off it. Every newspaper that's sold, somebody's making a dime.

When we unwrap presents, I tend to sit there with a bin liner trying to collect up the wrapping paper and thinking about which pieces I can reuse and which I will recycle.

Films go into vaults, art into museums, and music into halls of fame. Most fashion is worn for a few seasons and off-loaded into the recycling bin or, worse, some landfill.

We all have very personal relationships to what happened on 9/11 and the events after tracking Osama bin Laden. Nobody can escape from the influence of that.

There is definitely more rotation in my pants now that I'm famous. The minute they look slightly used, I bin them.

Even so, the danger of acting hastily is that you may end up accidentally throwing out the family silver in the bin liner. Even if you're in a closed with-profits fund with a low proportion invested in shares and very poor bonus rates, that does not necessarily mean you should get out of it.

Bin Laden stopped using the satellite phone instantly. The United States lost its best chance to find him.

Bin Laden is dead, and most of his friends are dead. But did it need to cost a trillion dollars and two land wars, including one that didn't have to do with Al Qaeda? Probably not.

Bin Laden is at war with the United States, and it is time that we reciprocated, ... We have the capacity, we have the capability, the military strength to do what is necessary.

Bin Laden himself feels more secure in coming out of his cave and asserting to the world that he's alive and still relevant.

Bin Laden has consistently shown himself to be immune to outside pressure. When he wants to do something, he does it on his own schedule.'

Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US.

Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S.

Bin Laden always wanted to get rid of Mubarek and Ben Ali and Gaddafi and so on, claiming that they were all infidels working for America, and in fact, it was millions of ordinary people who peacefully, more or less - certainly in the case of Tunisia and Egypt - got rid of them.

Are your kids learning the right lessons about 9/11? Ten years after Osama bin Laden's henchmen murdered thousands of innocents on American soil, too many children have been spoon-fed the thin gruel of progressive political correctness over the stiff antidote of truth.

Every time we have a new videotape of bin Laden, it reminds people of the administration's argument that (Iraq) is connected to the war on terror, whether it really is or isn't.

There's overwhelming evidence bin Laden was behind the attacks of September 11. If the family chooses not to believe that, that's just how families operate.

The world's poor cannot be led by people like Mr. bin Laden who think they can find their redemption in our destruction. But the world's rich cannot be led by people who play to our short-sided selfishness and pretend that we can forever claim for ourselves what we deny to others.

Say another terrorist turned up in London, Bin Laden ... and he were to announce that new terrorist attacks were forthcoming against civilian sites in the United States,

Punishing abuse in Iraq should not return the U.S. to Sept. 10, 2001, in the way it fights al Qaeda, while Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants remain at large and continue to plan attacks.
