Tonight, President Barack Obama said:

Americans understand the costs of war….

We will be relentless in defense of our citizens … true to the values that make us who we are.

On nights like this one, we can say that justice has been done.’

Tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to. That is the story of our history.

Tonight let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. I know it has at times frayed.
