Now The Taliban Will Pay A Price.

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.

All Of Us Here Today Understand This: We Do Not Fight Islam, We Fight Against Evil.

Islam Is A Faith That Brings Comfort To People. It Inspires Them To Lead Lives Based On Honesty, And Justice, And Compassion.

People Make Suggestions On What To Say All The Time... Trust Me.

I Respect Every Soldier, From Every Country, Who Serves Beside Us In The Hard Work Of History. America Is Grateful, And America Will Not Forget.
