In an interview with CBS television, U.S. President, Barack Obama, said that the information contained in computers seized from home of bin Laden were in operation. "That does not mean that we will defeat terrorism," Bush said, before adding: "But that means we have a chance, I think, to bring the final blow to this organization." The U.S.
president said he would be "some time" to exploit the information obtained during the operation. This information "can lead us to other terrorists that we are looking for long time," he said. "We now have the opportunity, we have not yet done, but we really have the opportunity to defeat al-Qaida in at least the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan," he predicted.
Barack Obama, who has lived live from the White House commando operation in which Osama bin Laden was killed, described in that same interview that moment as "the longest forty minutes of [his] life" . Noting that a failure of such an operation in an allied country without informing its authorities could have "significant consequences", the President acknowledged having thought of two debacles of U.S.
forces: in Iran in 1980, when the President Jimmy Carter had launched an operation to free hostages in the American embassy, and in Somalia in 1993, when two American Black Hawk helicopters were shot down in Mogadishu and the corpses of American soldiers dragged through the streets before the cameras.
"Yes, absolutely. The day before, I thought about it," he said. A week after the operation, Washington was again asked Pakistan to investigate the network that allowed bin Laden to remain hidden for years in this country. Obama has asked Islamabad to launch an investigation into the "support network" which would have been bin Laden in Pakistan.
"We think it has benefited from a support network of any kind inside Pakistan, he said, but we do not know which one." "We have to investigate it and, most importantly, Pakistan needs to investigate," Obama said. "We've already talked to them and they have said they wanted to find out what kinds of supports bin Laden could have benefited," he said.
Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States, Hussain Haqqani, has ensured that heads would fall among senior Pakistani officials. Debates on Sunday invited the major U.S. networks, Barack Obama's adviser for national security, Tom Donilon, also asked Islamabad to initiate an investigation.
