9/11 invocations from tonights speech

Edited on Tue Jun-28-05 10:23 PM by chimpsrsmarter

The troops here and across the world are fighting a global war on terror. The war reached our shores on September 11, 2001.

After September the 11th, I made a commitment to the American people: This nation will not wait to be attacked again. We will defend our freedom. We will take the fight to the enemy.

The only way our enemies can succeed is if we forget the lessons of September the 11th, if we abandon the Iraqi people to men like Zarqawi and if we yield the future of the Middle East to men like bin Laden.

They are trying to shake our will in Iraq, just as they tried to shake our will on September 11, 2001. They will fail.

After September 11, 2001, I told the American people that the road ahead would be difficult and that we would prevail. Well, it has been difficult and we are prevailing.
