The
President’s announcement tonight is tremendous news for all Americans and for
counterterrorism efforts worldwide.
“The
superb work of our military and intelligence communities have led to the death
of the mastermind of the worst attack in our nation’s history. It is
indeed a great moment.
“I
applaud our troops, intelligence operatives, and the Administration for never
wavering in this important goal in the broader war on terrorism.
“This
is a particularly important day for the thousands of Americans who lost a
family member, friend or loved one nearly ten years ago. And all of our thanks
go to those who have been lost in our military efforts and to our veterans and
their families.
“This
is indeed a significant moment and one that will continue to propel our efforts
to root out terrorists wherever they reside. We must continue to remain
vigilant and focused on the protection of the American people.”
