President Obama at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner

There was a surge on video about "Osama bin laden dead" since President Obama announced Osama bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan by U.S. forces. Once the news broke people had been searching the video on YouTube so that made it the top rising term on YouTube. In the announcement, President Obama praised those Americans who carried out the operation to kill Osama bin Laden, told the families of the victims of September 11, 2001 that they have never been forgotten, and called on Americans to remember the unity of that tragic day. If you have interest in the announcement you can download President Obama on Death of Osama bin Laden and convert YouTube video to any video formats for playback on any players.



In the following, there are some key quotes from the President:
"Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, 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. "
"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 has 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."
