"This is a momentous occasion, and the military and CIA are to be congratulated for their persistence, precision and performance. Osama bin Laden was responsible for killing thousands of innocent people. He was a threat to world peace who had to be brought to justice. His death at the hands of the world's best trained and motivated military and intelligence agency is justice served.
