I use it today again to apologize to the personal mistake I have made and embarassment I have caused. I made this apology to my neighbors, to my constituents 1, but I make particularly to my wife Huma. I hope to be able to continue to work at citizens at my district to like me to do, to fight for the middle-class struggling to make it. Unfortunately, the distraction 2 I have created has made that impossible. So today I am announcing my resignation from Congress.


First of all, I think we should be mindful that this announcement by Al-qaeda reminds us that despite having suffered huge loss of the killing 3 of Bin 4 Laden 5 and a number of others. Al-Qaeda seeks to perpetuate 6 itself and seeks to find replacement 7 of those who have been killed and remains 8 committed to to agenda that Bin Laden couldn't perform.
