But let's also be clear: this didn't start yesterday; it didn't start in 2009. It is the product of a long process of pursuing Osama bin Laden that started under President Bush and continued under President Obama.
Look, I think President Obama deserves enormous credit. It was a tough decision. It landed on his desk. As Harry Truman famously said, 'The buck stops here.'
I think it is so striking that this man, who sent other people to commit suicide to kill innocent people, was caught in hiding while we have brave civilians in Libya who are risking their lives, not to kill people but to set people free.
Honestly, I think 100,000 people being slaughtered and doing nothing is a red line.
