Wolfowitz emphasizes the continuity of efforts to pursue Osama bin Laden across both the Bush and Obama administrations.

I wish the president hadn't thrown this in the lap of Congress, it's sort of looking for help for his own lack of leadership, but the fact is, if the Congress turns down the president now, it's not only a blow to President Obama, I think…
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.
The problem is not that the President has done too much, however, but that he's done too little to achieve the goal of removing Gadhafi from power. The United States should be leading this effort, not trailing behind our adversaries.
Well, I think first of all, we'd be looking at a much worse situation today if we had Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Assad in Syria and the Iranian thugs in Iran.
