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.

 

[Jackdaws]

He was in urban area in Pakistan? Wow.

 

[Tin Man]

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.
