lichtman talk about the death of osama bin laden bin. the president is expected to speak any minute now from the east room of the white house to address this matter. how much more time do we have? can i get a queue on that? >> i'm not getting the queue we were told. it's just any moment. again it will be the east room of the white house, the president tay to being about this multiple reports saying osama bin laden bin -- to talk about this, multiple reports saying osama bin laden bin's bold was found in pakistan. let me ask if we had found him alive and had him incarcerated, what would we do with him? >> we're americans. we gave trials to the nazis. we would have to find a way to deal with some kind of process. i don't think even for a person as evil as adolf hitler i don't think america could have looked in the mirror and said we're going to shoot a prisoner and have no process. i don't think america would have done that. i don't think they would have done that with osama and i really think i'm 95% certain this factor is what caused it

. >> alan lichtman and republican strategist jack burkeman. >> i'm sorry about that. we don't have the details yet, gentlemen, but either one of you jump in. what does this say at this particular juncture we're now hearing osama bin laden bin is dead. we're not sure how. >> if true, this is very important for the national security of this country and the national security of the world. bin laden is very important for international terrorism, financially, inspirationally and strategically. his death, of course, does not end the terrorist threat, but it deals a major blow to the terrorist and it shows how serious the obama administration has been about pursuing bin laden and ending this threat to the peace of the world and obviously it has profound political effect as well. >> jack, you would agree with me, immediate withdrawal of our american troops there, really the pressure had to be stepped up on the cia to get this guy? >> no question. i agree with everything alan said. if this is the case and it's confirmed, i give all the credit in the world to the president and
