"Confirmation of the death of Osama bin Laden is a tremendous victory in the war against terror. The brave men and women of our military forces and intelligence services are to be commended for their successful efforts. We must continue to be vigilant now more than ever. But today we bring to a close a decade-long search of bin Laden and once again remember and honor all those lost on September 11, 2001. I also want to commend President Obama and President Bush for their efforts to bring bin Laden to justice.”
