WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama plans to visit New York City on Thursday to mark the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

The White House says Obama will visit ground zero, the site of al-Qaida's attack on the World Trade Center, and meet with the families of those killed nearly 10 years ago.

U.S. forces killed bin Laden during a raid on a compound in Pakistan where he had been hiding, then buried him at sea.

Flag-waving crowds have been gathering at the lower Manhattan site of the attack since Obama announced bin Laden's death late Sunday.

In a letter as Senator he said US deserves part of the blame for 9/11

Obama Addresses 9/11 Government Complicity

    Dear Penny:

    Thank you for contacting me regarding your belief that the U.S. government was complicit in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. I appreciate hearing your passionate views on this matter.

    While I do not believe the U.S. government was complicit in the attacks, I do think it should be held accountable for the unacceptable mistakes it made in the run-up to that terrible day. The blunders that occurred prior to the 2001 attacks were inexcusable and often outrageous. The series of clear warnings about the potential use of hijacked planes as weapons is just one example of why the "surprise" of 9/11 should have been anticipated. In my view, proof of government complicity is not necessary when making the argument that the U.S. should accept some responsibility for what happened on 9/11.

    Thank you again for writing.

    Sincerely,

    Barack Obama
    United States Senator

If only President Bush weren't such an honorable man.  Imagine if he went there tomorrow and praised Obama for having the sense to continue and finish the mission, that he , President Bush had started.

It had to piss Obeywon off last night when the news slipped out before his speech.
