We've witnessed a unique victory. To turn a Pentagon decision of this magnitude around in a little over a year's time, well, it doesn't usually happen.

We have witnessed the most extraordinary devastation. The magnitude of the situation is unbelievable. It's just heartbreaking.

I am thrilled with today's victory. But this is a win for all New Yorkers. Today's decision means an additional billion dollars of insurance proceeds will be available.

We have witnessed the most extraordinary devastation. The magnitude of the situation is unbelievable. It's just heartbreaking.

Our victory was stolen from us. After a court decision, we found ourselves in a difficult situation, and it is important for us at present to strengthen our organization, rather than dwell on things past.
