Statement on Death of Osama bin Laden

Statement

"This is a proud day for our country. The president, our dedicated men and women fighting overseas, our intelligence community and all those who have tirelessly worked toward this day deserve our gratitude. As we near the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we are reminded again of those who lost their lives that day, and the sacrifice and perseverance of those who serve our country in uniform. While Osama bin Laden was a clear threat to global stability, we must caution ourselves that some who wish to do us harm are emboldened, already making a martyr out of this monster. We should be under no delusions that bin Laden's death spells the end of al-Qaeda; it surely does not. That is why it is critical that we continue to remain vigilant. Nonetheless, Osama bin Laden was the face of evil and today he is standing before the ultimate judge answering for his heinous actions. May God Bless America."
