I Haven't Had A Chance To Talk,

Some Say That By Fighting The Terrorists Abroad Since September The 11th, We Only Stir Up A Hornets' Nest. But The Terrorists Who Struck That Day Were Stirred Up Already. If America Were Not Fighting Terrorists In Iraq And Afghanistan And Elsewhere, What Would These Thousands Of Killers Do - Suddenly Begin Leading Productive Lives Of Service And Charity? ... We Are Dealing Here With Killers Who Have Made The Death Of Americans The Calling Of Their Lives.

I Want Our Enemies To Understand That Don't Think That Their Violent Acts Are Going To Cause This President To Leave Before The Job Is Done. And I Want Our Troops To Understand We Respect Them And That The Sacrifices They Make Are Noble And Necessary For Peace.

Some Call This Civil War; Others Call It Emergency -- I Call It Pure Evil.

Their Sacrifice Was Great, But Not In Vain. All Americans And Every Free Nation On Earth Can Trace Their Liberty To The White Markers Of Places Like Arlington National Cemetery. And May God Keep Us Ever Grateful.

The Decisions I Made Are Done. And History Will Judge Whether Or Not They Were Correct. There's No Such Thing As Accurate Short-term History.
