6:36 am
u.s.s cole to attacks of september 11th, 2001. and so many more these were not just attacks against americans although resufferred grievous losses these were attacks against the whole world in london and madrid, bali is stan bull and other places innocent people, most muslims were targeted in markets, and mosques, in subway stations and on airplanes. each attack motivated by a violent ideology that holds no value for human life, or regard for human dignity. i know that nothing can make up for the loss of the victims or fill the voids they left but i hope their families can now find some comfort in the fact
6:37 am
that justice has been served. second, i want to join the president in honouring the courage and commitment of the brave men and women who serve our country and have worked tirelessly and relentlessly for more than a decade to track down and bring osama bin laden, this terrorist, to justice. from our troops, and our intelligence experts, to our diplomats, and our law enforcement officials n has been a broad -- officials, this has been a broad, deep aggressive effort here at the state department we have work to forge a worldwide anti terror network we have drawn together the effort and energy of friends, partners, allies on every continent. our partnership including our close cooperation with
6:38 am
pakistan, have helped put unprecedented pressure on al qaeda, and its leadership. continued cooperation will be just as important in the days ahead. because even as we mark this milestone, we should not forget, that the battle to stop al qaeda, and its syndicate of terror, will not end, with the death of osama bin laden. in deed, we must take this opportunity to renew our resolve and redouble our effort. in afghanistan, we will continue taking the fight to al qaeda and their taliban allies. while working to support the afghan people as they build a stronger government, and begin to take responsibility for their own security. we are implementing the strategy, for transition approved by nato at the summit in lisbon. and we are supporting an afghan
6:39 am
lead political process, that seeks to isolate al qaeda, and end the insurgency. our message to the taliban remains the same, but today, it may have even greater resonance. you cannot wait us out you cannot defeat us, but you can make the choice to abandon al qaeda and participate in a peaceful political process. in pakistan, we are committed to supporting the people and government as they defend their own democracy, from violent extremism indeed as the president said, osama bin laden had alts declared war -- also declared war on pakistan he ordered the killing of many innocent pakistani men, women
6:40 am
and children. in recent years the cooperation between our government, law enforcement agencies increased pressure on al qaeda and the taliban and this progress must continue. we are committed to our partnerships. history will record that osama bin laden's death came at a time of great movement towards freedom and democracy at a time when people across the middle east and north africa are rejecting the extremist narrative and charting a path of peaceful progress based on universal rights and aspirations. there is no better rebuke to al qaeda, and its heinous ideology. all over the world we will press forward, bolstering our partnership, strengthening networks, investing in a positive vision of peace and progress and relentlessly
6:41 am

cooling off thursday and more cooling trend continues friday into saturday and sunday as well at which point we will sit in the high 60s low 70s low inland spots. let's go to elizabeth. >> thank you chopper 5 continues to cruise across the bay area. showing us westbound 24 traffic through lafayette, looks like there is a tow crew out there activity off to the shoulder maybe causing a little bit of slowing right past the scene but overall your usual stuff usual slow traffic coming out of walnut creek, but so far not too bad of a ride out towards the caldecott tunnel. all right this is some video taken by chopper 5 a little earlier, you can see where a car ran into a fire hydrant in san francisco's mission district developing story we have been following since 4:15 a.m. we understand there was a 1- year-old child inside that car, suffered life threatening injuries. according to the san francisco
6:51 am
police department, so, the child was france fehred to the hospital -- transferred to the hospital still street closures in the area, mission street completely shut for a couple blocks between 22nd and 24th also 23rd shut down both directions for about a block so again, the investigation has been going on now for more than a couple hours, use alternates in the area, van nest is open. more traffic coming up including a check of the bay bridge. all right thanks very much. this morning, u.s. leaders speaking out praising the death of osama bin laden. in fact just a short time ago secretary of state hillary clinton said terror will not end with his death and we must preserver against al qaeda. >> with more on the impact of osama bin laden's death here is joel. this is the -- hopefully folks can see that at home but front page san francisco chronicle,
6:52 am
u.s. killed osama bin laden. this is on every newspaper in the land. >> does this make him a martyr now would we have to worry about more retaliation? >> i think for any of his followers, there is likely to be that impact it would have been the case whether he died of natural causes over not in some ways he becomes a venerated figure after his death the question of retaliation sydnie is one i think we have to look at carefully already this morning we have reports of people posting things online, threatening retaliation but let me say to reas sure people watching today, any time an attack happens any where, there will be lots of groups that claim credit for it or threaten more attacks in the future and it is important we distinguish between people who make claimthose who are viable threats some times when we publicize these things in news media we raise anxiety when we don't need to.
6:53 am
until there is more viable information it is reasonable to expect someone will do something but as for a credible threat, don't have panic. >> who emerges now? another osama bin laden a mythical like creature? >> in our last segment we talked about him and number two, and egyptian national and i would presume probably in pakistan as well. actually in terms of networking and technical background, someone very very capable of doing this. in terms of his presence, this is my world now in terms of communication this is rhetoric i never found him as interesting on visual and on the visual part as osama bin laden was. osama bin laden by the way to your question, was somewhat unique and i think what was most frightening for american and western audiences was that he came across so calm and i hate to say the word reasonable but reasonable when he talked.
6:54 am
he didn't look like a screaming monster we expected when we saw him and that made him more of a boogey man than we expected. he also new how to use symbolism to communicate not just with american audiences but also muslim audiences in the middle east as he tried to recruit people those combinations of traits are unique and you are not likely to find some body like that again. >> long time. all right joel cbs 5 political analyst thanks for your insight. >> it is 6:54 a.m. we will be right back ,,,,,,
