Murkowski Statement on the Death of Osama Bin Laden
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, tonight released the following statement regarding the death of Osama Bin Laden:
"Tonight we learned Osama bin Laden is dead. The man
was behind some of the most inhuman and unprovoked deaths of innocents in
generations -- the worst of which being the hateful 9/11 attacks that killed
nearly 3,000 people. His death is a direct result of the determination of
America's military and intelligence forces -- and it casts a well-deserved
spotlight on our men and women who fight in the shadows."
"The lesson here to the world: If a fight is brought to the American
people, we will finish it. But it's crucial that the world recognize while the
man is gone, the mindlessly-violent Al Qaeda movement he led and the hatred he
represented are still very much alive."
