"In December 2001, President Bush said we would get Osama bin Laden and a decade later, his words ring true. Despite the enormous obstacles and great sacrifices, the brave members of our military and intelligence community have completed their mission and brought this madman to justice. Their accomplishment marks a great victory for America and all those who have served tirelessly to defend and preserve our nation's way of life."
"The praise and gratitude owed to each of our nation's warriors is beyond words; however, I congratulate them, and all those involved on a job well done."
"While we celebrate this victory, we must remember to stay vigilant and focused on succeeding in the ongoing war on terror. Despite the elimination of an influential leader, domestic and international threats persist. Defeating al Qaeda and the Taliban remain paramount to creating a stable environment in Afghanistan, so we can turn security over and bring our military home."
