Stivers Statement on Death of Osama bin Laden

Statement

"Locating and killing Osama bin Laden by American Armed Forces is a significant accomplishment, bringing justice to thousands of American families affected by the September 11th attacks. It sends a clear message to those who consider terrorizing or killing Americans. Terrorists now know that they can run, but they cannot hide forever. America will track them down and bring them to justice, no matter how long it takes.

"However, we must remember that al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations continue to threaten America, and we must remain steadfast and vigilant in our efforts to disrupt and destroy terrorist networks at home and abroad.

"I want to thank the members of our military and the intelligence community who made this operation a success. I also want us to remember the countless sacrifices of American service members and their families involved in the War on Terror. I congratulate President Obama and President Bush and their teams for their efforts to bring bin Laden to justice."
