Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. While the death of Osama bin Laden does not remove the threat of terrorism it is an important milestone said Texas Congressman Mac Thornberry (R-Clarendon)
Vice Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and a senior member of the House Intelligence Committee following the Presidents announcement that U.S. forces had killed bin Laden.
Our nation is still at risk and more attacks on Americans and others will come. But the primary instigator of so much cruel violence has been removed Thornberry said.
The credit for this success belongs primarily to the intelligence professionals who have hunted for him for years following up lead after lead patiently and persistently as well as to the expert military professionals who carried out this mission after constant training and preparation and experience with these types of operations.
President Obama should be credited with making th
e decision to proceed with the operation as should CIA Director Panetta for its oversight said the Texas panhandle Congressman.
A 5th generation Texan Mac Thornberry serves in the U.S. House of Representatives for 13th District of Texas where he is a lifelong resident. He currently serves on the Armed Services Committee and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
