OSAMA BIN LADEN OPERATION ENDED WITH GERONIMO-E KIA
OSAMA BIN LADEN OPERATION ENDED WITH GERONIMO-E KIA
The first indication for President Obama that Osama bin Laden had been killed came when a Navy SEAL sent back the coded message to Washington that said simply, "Geronimo-E KIA."
Geronimo was the code name for the operation that sent two teams of 12 SEALS zooming by Blackhawk helicopters to a walled compound in Abbotabad, Pakistan, on Sunday to kill or capture the most wanted man in the world. Anxious White House officials weren't positive that they would find bin Laden in the fortress-like complex, that he might leave while the SEALS were en route.
The first encouraging word came at the beginning of the raid when the SEALS recognized the man who had eluded a U.S. manhunt for a decade.
They sent back the message, "Geronimo."
After a 40-minute search of the compound, punctuated by firefights, bin Laden was dead, and the cryptic "Geronimo-E KIA" code sent relief through the White House. E Stood for Enemy, and KIA for Killed in Action.
Bin Laden was shot twice, once in the head and once in the chest.
The SEALS words, however, were not sufficient proof that the mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks was finally dead. As the evidence piled up-- verbal ID, face recognition analysis and DNA matches-- the White House debate continued. Obama ended the discussion with a terse, "We got him."

The news that Osama Bin Laden had been killed by American forces was broken via Twitter, according to a report Sunday night. According to The New York Times, credit for the leak went to Keith Urbahn, the chief of staff for Donald Rumsfeld and a formaer Navy intelligence officer. His tweet, "So I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden, Hot damn," was credited by The Times as the first to report the news.
Urbahn later tweeted, "Don't know if its true, but let's pray it is." He also speculated on the means that Bin Laden was killed: "Highly unlikely that if we had credible info on UBL's location that Hellfires from a drone would be the weapon of choice."

OBAMA RELEASES ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE
President Barack Obama speaks to the Press in Briefing Room of the White house April 27, 2011 in Washington, DC. US President Barack Obama released a long form version of his Birth Certificate after extended criticism by those who believe he was born in the United States.
The saga of Barack Obama's birth certificate is tortuous and ironic. It began with the June 2008 release of a scan of Obama's state-issued Certification of Live Birth to quell rumors speculating that his religious affiliation and/or country of origin might be other than what he claimed. Partisan Scuttlebutt had it that Obama's middle name was really "Mohammed", for example - which, if true, would lend support to rumblings that he had grown up as a Muslim - and that he was actually born in Kenya, not the United States - which of course would mean he's not a natural-born citizen and therefore ineligible for the Presidency.
Now according to this Certificate, the truth is, Barack Obama was born in the State of Hawaii, in 1961, a native Citizen of United States of America.
The Washington Post Confirms Barack Obama's Citizenship:
"The Truth: Sen. Barack Obama, born in Hawaii, is a Christian family man with track record of public service."

FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack Obama's Citizenship:
"When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British Colony, still part of the United Kingdom's dwindling empire. As Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. Citizenship nor sworn as oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982."
