Warren Buffett on the reported death of Osama bin Laden

Well, it's always been a mistake to bet against America, since 1776.  And, you know, we take our body blows from time to time, but this country always comes through.  And when we get united, get out of the way.  It--and we are--at moments like this you particularly see that.  And of course, after 9/11 we saw it.  But I've always had enormous faith in this country to do anything, whether it's in economics or whether it's in liberating people or whatever it may be.  And this is just one more dramatic illustration of when the United States sets out to do something, it gets it done.
