Comment Of Sen. Patrick Leahy
On The President's Announcement
That Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Has Been Killed
Thursday, June 8, 2006

"The President's announcement that our military forces have found Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and that they have ended his role in masterminding his share of the mayhem and murder that plagues Iraq is a relief to our entire nation. Our gratitude goes out to our brave men and women in Iraq, who have persisted under the most dangerous and trying circumstances that any of us can imagine. We all know that this in itself will not end the violence or resolve the complex and dangerous difficulties that remain in Iraq, but this is a murderous terrorist whose personal reign of terror has been brought to a just end."
