President
George W. Bush's speech after the capture of Saddam Hussein:
"The success of yesterday's
mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq. The operation
was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the dictator's
footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision
by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies
have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in
their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work
continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the
members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate them!"
Barrack
Hussein Obama's speech after the killing of Osama bin Laden:
"And so shortly after taking
office, I directed Leon
Panetta, the Director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden
the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader
efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last
August, I was briefed on a possible
lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this
thread to ground. I met repeatedly
with my national security team
as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a
compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to
take action, and I authorized an
operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched
a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan."
