Bin Laden Taking Risks

On September 11, 2001 Osama Bin Laden did successfully accomplished his mission on attacking the United States and killing thousands. The major mistake Osama Bin Laden made that day was not only attacking the most powerful country in the world, but his major mistake was to continue to keep breathing to continue to live on this earth because now his clock was ticking, ticking down his last worthless days on earth. A man that thought he could actually get away with murdering thousands of people. A man that on May 2, 2011 clock would stop ticking, a man that would be killed by United States Navy Seals, and the decision to give the go ahead to kill Osama Bin Laden that decision came from none other than the most powerful man in the world the president of the United States of America Barak Obama.

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” I try to live by this quote by Charles R. Swindoll every day. I feel that this is a strong quote with a lot of meaning behind it and, it can be interpreted in many ways. In my opinion, we should see things in a positive way all the time. We also should do what we love every day because you never know how close you are to the end.

After al-Qaeda was formed and the initiation of the 9/11 plans and attacks, bin Laden set an undeniable manhunt upon himself. Despite the warnings, 9/11 was a very unexpected terrorist attack considering that the United States hadn't been attacked on its land in more than half a century. They hadn't seen any blood spilled during war on their own soil since 136 years earlier. It was almost impossible for the United States to be prepared for this attack because it had a very peaceful history overall within its borders for the years leading up to the attacks. However, the U.S. responded correctly, and less than ten years later Navy SEALS captured the man who took thousands of lives, in Operation Neptune

The killing of Bin Laden was one of the biggest examples of how a good Military task force like Navy seals has become. Arkin and Priest (2001) give us an idea how the Joint Special Operations team has been improving over the years and how they carry out top secret missions. When you have a good Military task force then their a higher chance to save hostages lives and we been seeing a trend in where government send out their best units to save those hostage. They can come out saving the hostage or not, but the main idea of Special Military Task force is to do the best to save them. The government develops a plan to save them instead of following appeasement because they will not give in demands from terrorist. This method

By August 11, 2001 “all 19 hijackers are, in fact, already in the U.S. on visas obtained under their actual names.” Having this in mind, it should be already known that the hijackers are doing nothing to conceal their identity while within the United States. That same day, it is known that “President Bush is on vacation in Crawford, Texas, where five days earlier he had been warned by the CIA of a possible attack in a paper titled: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.”” This document states that al-Qaeda members are believed to be residing in the U.S., and that the U.S. embassy in United Arab Emirates received a call articulating that “a group of bin Laden supporters was in the U.S. planning attacks with explosives.” The president then

On May 1st one of the Greatest Military operation had taken place. Osama Bin Laden had been killed. The C.I.A had been tracking a man in Abbottabad, Pakistan. They referred to him as the pacer because he would only walk around within the walls of his house and then disappear back into his house. They used his shadow to find his height and it matched the same as bin laden. A C.I.A agent had originally want to drop 32 2,000lb on the compound. But President wanted confirmation that they really did kill Bin Laden and wanted to minimize collateral damage. Prior to this Seal Team Six had been training in a replica home of bin laden. They trained with the Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne). Or also known as the Nightstalkers.

Osama Bin Laden an Afghan born terrorist, would be the only man alive to openly do harm to the biggest and most powerful nation- the United States by hijacking several planes and crashing them into the twin towers as well as the Pentagon. Osama Bin Laden had been one of the most wanted man in the history of terrorism. By many observations, his destructive behavior puts him on FBI’s Ten Most Wanted People in the world. Before 9/11 many people knew nothing about Bin Laden, so when Bin Laden was accused for the murder of the thousands of innocent American lives, he instantly became the most wanted. The attacks he perpetrated on the American soil hurt thousands of families in the U.S. and left the public furious as well as deeply depressed over

The Killing of Osama Bin Laden, the master behind the attacks of 9/11, was a turning point in history because it took down the leaders of Al-Qaeda and it allowed America to gain more ground on the fight against terrorism. Forty-nine years ago, a new kind of evil was brought into this world. Osama Bin Laden was born into a rich Saudi Arabian family and grew up to become a multimillionaire terrorist. He established at al-Qaeda, which is an Islamic terrorist organization.

It is our inability to understand the true nature of conflict that has resulted in both the tragic loss of life and our failure to achieve anything remotely resembling victory after tragedy. Gandhi is one of the most revered pacifists in history and Bin Laden, one of the most reviled villains. One man, was willing to sacrifice his life rather than lift a finger to hurt another soul. The other is willing to kill thousands to achieve his ends. However, once you let go of the moral considerations, there are, in fact, many similarities. Not in goals or philosophies but in how their tactics manipulate the world.

Nowadays, terrorism events more and more appear on this planet, which is a terrible thing. There are so many terrorism attack events in this world, and the famous one is the September 11 attacks. Those terrorists who came from the al-Qaeda controlled four planes attacking three places of the United States of America. It made so many innocent people were killed. Children lost their parents and a lot of people lost their relative. The September 11 attacks event arouses people’s anti-terrorism awareness in this world which just like a deep scar in people’s mind and no one would forget it. The government of the United Stated of America decided taking military action to find Osama bin Laden out who is the leader of al-Qaeda. In this case, the United

Mark Zuckerberg once said “The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that is changing quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." Without the opportunity of taking a risk, I would have never learned the skills imperative to succeed. One significant risk I took during my high school career, was joining my school’s volleyball program.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe once said,”Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.” This quote means to take life head on and make choices based on what you want in your life because it can always be an experienced worth living for. Geoffrey Robson did just what the quote said, by doing wingsuit flying and being great at it while living a life with a great education. He lived his life the way he wanted to live and he didn’t let anyone tell him otherwise. Making choices that matter to you are more important than anyone telling you shouldn’t do something. The quote does say that any choice you make can have a great or bad consequence, but no matter what ir can change the way you view

“If your life is ever going to get better, you will have to take risks. There is no simply no way you can grow without taking chances”, says David Viscot. Are you ready to be an adventurous pioneer, an adventuresome prospector, an audacious explorer, a daredevil test pilot, a daring acrobat or a venturesome investor? The ability to take risk and forge ahead is the prevalent hallmark of an enterprising and ambitious person who has his own success at heart. Notwithstanding ones eagerness to take risks, you should be meticulous and tactical. Otherwise, your efforts and resources will result in a pitiful waste. A closely notable threat to risk taking is one’s own cowardice. If you are born coward, you grow to build courage and confidence in yourself. Your ability to overshadow your inner fear is your immediate resolution to stepping into greater heights. Another essential point is, avoid been haunted by your past unsuccessful attempts. After all, there is no harm in trying. Should our failures define us? Big No! They should rather teach and refine us. Beverly Sills unequivocally states that, “you

Do one thing every day that scares you” is the most influential piece of advice I have ever heard. Although I never met the speaker Eleanor Roosevelt, I feel as if she was saying it straight to me. As someone who seeks adventure, this could not be better advice. I think of this quote every time I am nervous to try something. You can apply it to small choices or big decisions. Having the courage, you need to do something that frightens you is why I think this advice is beneficial.
