On the death of Osama bin Laden.
All I can say is:
· I'm relieved – my body issued a long, great sigh of relief. Yes, there will always be terrorists. But this decades-long manhunt is finally over. And I'm glad.
· I take heart from the way the President led the team – of advisors and operatives – to achieve this result in a measured and appropriate manner.
· I find it bewildering that there are some who begrudge Obama's visits to Ground Zero, to the troops, and to the CIA – calling this process a "victory dance." These same voices were only too happy to praise Bush's swaggering display declaring mission accomplished on the Abraham Lincoln's flight deck – when there was nothing yet to celebrate.
Congratulations. . . and thank you.
