Pence: ‘America and the World Are Safer Today’ Now That the Leader of ISIS Is Dead

EXCERPT:

PENCE: "Through our intelligence agencies that the president rightly commended today through a combination of intelligence, surveillance surveillance, reconnaissance. We believed we knew where he would be. By Thursday afternoon the president and I were informed that there was a high probability he would be at the compound in idlib province. The president immediately directed our commanders to develop military options. Those were presented to the president at the White House on Friday morning, but it was Saturday morning that we received the actionable intelligence that allowed the decision that the president had made to move forward to happen. And it is — it was incredible to be in the Situation Room and to see this unfold in real-time as our special forces were on the ground, to see their professionalism over a period of two hours. America and the world are safer today with the leader of ISIS dead.
