Florida's Leaders React to American Forces Taking Out Osama bin Laden

With news that American forces killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, Floridas leaders cheered the news late Sunday.

Bin Laden killed!, cheered Rep. Joe Felix Diaz, R-Miami. Tonight the world is a safer place. God bless the U.S.A.

Death of Osama Bin Laden is a long-awaited victory in the war on terror, noted former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux who is running in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in 2012. Let's remember in this moment those that died on 9/11.

The world is a little safer tonight, wrote Rep Rick Kriseman, D-St Petersburg. Thank you, President Obama, our military and our intelligence community.

I want to offer my thanks to all the brave government officials, from the presidents to the soldiers in the field, who worked to bring an end to this Osama bin Laden's reign of terror, former Rep. Keith Fitzgerald, a Sarasota Democrat, posted on his Twitter account.

Osama bin Laden, meet hell. Hell, meet Osama bin Laden, noted Rep. Chris Dorworth, R-Heathrow, on his Twitter account. You will be spending eternity together.
