With Osama Bin Laden dead, will Al Queida retaliate? So far all the news has reported is that DNA testing has been done to determine that the body is in fact that of Osama Bin Laden. I don't know how fast the body could have been delivered to the US, or how fast Washington can get DNA results back, but I would imagine it would have taken at least a day or two just to get the body to U.S. soil for the DNA testing.
The first news report I read said that Obama would be addressing the US about 'national security.' This leads me to believe that we're about to be warned about new security threats. Living close to Tampa Bay and MacDill AFB is cause for concern to us.
We've only just begun to become a self-sustaining, survivalist family. I'm not sure we're prepared to withstand a retaliation equal to or greater than the September 11 attacks that Osama Bin Laden was the mastermind behind.
The US will probably take some comfort in knowing that the 'mastermind' behind those 9/11 attacks is now gone, but I, along with many others I imagine, know that to be a mastermind, you have to have followers, and they have to be as committed to the cause as the leader is. We've only lost one member of a lunatic fringe. Osama Bin Laden is dead, but his mission will live on in the decipels he left behind.

Osama Bin Laden is dead
Osama Bin Laden is dead. It was 10:33 when I read the post on a survivalist forum. A quick search on Yahoo, not Google, told us all to tune it to the news at 10:40 PM to hear President Barack Obama address the nation on national security.
I turned on CNN and sure enough, there it was.
Osama Bin Laden is dead. It should give us all a sense of security, but it doesn't. It actually makes me even more scared. Scared of what's to come. Ever since the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, I've been scared of living in the US.
While I want to see Osama Bin Laden as no more than the terrorist thug the newscasters are calling him, if he was the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks, he didn't pull it off without accommodating a hate for the US by too many other nations of the world.
Osama Bin Laden dead. What happened, I don't know yet. I'm still waiting for the President to address us, but I'm worried about a retaliation.
The United States has been at war, on our own soil since 2011. They weren't trying to make a point. They went after the World TRADE Center. They went after our infrastructure. Those events contributed to a stock market crash. Investors turned to real estate and lending was too easy because it was the only thing driving our economy. Then that crashed too.
The war has been here, all along, on our soil. Hidden. Now that Osama Bin Laden is dead, will Al Queida retaliate?
I'm glad I found the survival forum today.
