Republican leaders -- from former President George W. Bush, to House Speaker John Boehner, on down the line -- are expressing the same sentiment as ordinary Americans. The feeling: thank goodness for the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, Politico reports. And some GOP heavies had praise for President Barack Obama for his role in going after the mastermind terrorist.
Bush
“Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaida network that attacked America on September 11, 2001,” he said in a statement.
“I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude.”
Cheney
Bush’s Vice President Dick Cheney also was complimentary to Obama. He called the killing “a victory for the United States and a tremendous achievement for the military and intelligence professionals who carried out this important mission,” Politico reports.
“I also want to congratulate President Obama and the members of his national security team.”
But Cheney cautioned that the threat from al-Qaida isn’t over. “Al-Qaida remains a dangerous enemy. Though bin Laden is dead, the war goes on,” he said. “We must remain vigilant.”
Boehner
Boehner pointed to the role of both Bush and Obama in capturing bin Laden. “This is great news for the security of the American people and a victory in our continued fight against al-Qaida and radical extremism around the world,” he said in a statement.
