Obama's address to nation should be available online for streaming

i think he gave a very good speech; and I appreciate that he acknowledged that the actions of terrorists have killed many Muslims too --whether in New York/DC/Penn. or whether in Pakistan or elsewhere (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Kenya, Bali, London, etc.)

I saw his speech, I was just wondering what the media was saying that it showed Pakistan in such a negative light.
 
He was in urban area in Pakistan? Wow.
 
It is my personal belief that the pakistan govt was forced to hand over osama's location amidst the growing american pressure. A form of "betrayal" if you ask me.
 
WASHINGTON: Osama bin Laden is dead and his body has been recovered by US authorities, US officials said on Sunday night.
