Our people have hunted down and killed Osama bin Laden. Thank you to all the military and other good people who tracked him down to his own sanctuary. We can only hope that the materials captured at his hiding place will lead to more terrorists, and that they will meet similar ends.
Today I received a message from the office of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates: “Secretary Gates is enormously proud of everyone involved in making yesterday’s operation a success. It was an extraordinary achievement.” It certainly was. America is today extremely proud of our secret warriors and the considerable organizations that facilitate their work.
The wounds inflicted upon humanity by the death cult that is al Qaeda have been enormous. We should remember the tears of the innocent as we continue the hunt in the pursuit of justice and self-defense.
Six years ago today, an apparent al Qaeda suicide bomber killed a little girl named Farah. Maybe it was in the name of justice that Osama bin Laden’s dead body was dumped anonymously at sea on the same day, on the anniversary of Farah’s loss.
