Rick Scott Calls Osama bin Laden's Death 'Great Victory'

On Monday morning, Gov. Rick Scott issued a statement regarding the death of terrorist Osama bin Laden.

The death of Osama bin Laden marks a great victory for Americans and for freedom-loving people worldwide, said Scott. Finally, some degree of justice has been achieved after nearly a decade of death, war and untold sacrifices because of that man. For the loved ones of all those we've lost in this war on terror, may this bring some measure of peace.

I am so proud of our dedicated military men and women and our intelligence community for not giving up in our pursuit of justice. I am grateful for their tenacity and their deep sacrifices. President Barack Obama should also be commended for doing the right thing and following through with the promise of justice initially given by President George W. Bush, added Scott. While threats remain, today the world is a safer place.
