"the Taliban can't win, that's not the same as stability but, knowing that we will persevere to that extent."

"The death of Osama bin Laden is obviously an event of enormous consequence."

"This event enhances America's security and it brings us closer to our objective of dismantling and destroying al-Qaeda."
