Dick Cheney Congratulates Obama, Team On Bin Laden Death
Evan McMorris-Santoro | May 2, 2011, 8:26AM


Former Vice President Dick Cheney -- a vocal critic of President Obama's anti-terror policy since the end of the Bush administration -- extended his congratulations to the White House after the death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of U.S. forces. Cheney called the killing of bin Laden "a tremendous achievement for the military and intelligence professionals who carried out this important mission."

"I also want to congratulate President Obama and the members of his national security team," Cheney said.

Cheney said that though the death of bin Laden is an important step, it doesn't end the fight against the terrorism that led to the catastrophic events of 9/11.

I wonder what the other three horsemen have to say?
