ABOUT TERRORISM

 A brutal dictator, with a history of reckless aggression, with ties to terrorism, with great potential wealth will not be permitted to dominate a vital region and threaten the United States. :: 030128

 A future lived at the mercy of terrible threats is no peace at all. :: 030128

 A new terrorism task force is tightening immigration controls to make sure no one enters or stays in our country who would harm us. :: 011108

 A Palestinian state will never be created by terror -- it will be built through reform. :: 020624

 A terrorism alert is not a signal to stop your life. :: 011108

 A terrorist underworld -- including groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Jaish-i-Mohammed -- operates in remote jungles and deserts, and hides in the centers of large cities. :: 020129

 A war against all those who seek to export terror, and a war against those governments that support or shelter them. :: 011000

 About the link between Iraq developing weapons of terror, and the wider war on terror. :: 021007

 Across the world, governments have heard this message: You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists. :: 020430

 Across the world, we are meeting the threat of terrorism to make the world safer, and confronting the grave dangers posed by outlaw regimes. :: 030201r

 After all, on our TV screens the other day, we saw the evil one threatening -- calling for more destruction and death in America. :: 011000

 After recession, terrorist attacks, corporate scandals and stock market declines, our economy is recovering. :: 030128

 Al Qaeda is to terror what the Mafia is to crime. :: 010920

 al Qaeda terrorists escaped from Afghanistan and are known to be in Iraq. :: 020912

 All Americans must recognize that the face of terror is not the true faith -- face of Islam. :: 020910

 All in the Middle East also must choose and must move decisively in word and deed against terrorist acts. :: 020404

 all nations, if they want to fight terror, must do something. :: 011106

 All of this was brought upon us in a single day, and night fell on a different world, a world where freedom itself is under attack. :: 010920

 All states must keep their promise, made in a vote in the United Nations, to actively oppose terror in all its forms. :: 020404

 All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries. :: 030128

 Alliances with terrorists could allow the Iraqi regime to attack America without leaving any fingerprints. :: 021007

 America and Afghanistan are now allies against terror. :: 020129

 America and coalition countries have uncovered and stopped terrorist conspiracies targeting the embassy in Yemen, the American embassy in Singapore, a Saudi military base, ships in the Straits of Hormuz and the Straits of Gibraltar. :: 030128

 America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism. :: 010911

 America is going forward, and as we do so, we must remain keenly aware of the threats to our country. :: 010912

 America recognizes Israel's right to defend itself from terror. :: 020404

 America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. :: 010911

 America will not accept a serious and mounting threat to our country and our friends and our allies. :: 030128

 America will take the side of brave men and women who advocate these values around the world, including the Islamic world, because we have a greater objective than eliminating threats and containing resentment. :: 020129

 Americans also have fought back against terror by choosing to overcome evil with good. :: 020904p

 Americans are united in this fight against terrorism. :: 011000

 Americans tonight can know that while the threat is ongoing, we are taking every possible step to protect our country from danger. :: 011000

 As a step in this process, he will work to implement United Nations Resolution 1402 -- an immediate and meaningful cease-fire, an end to terror and violence and incitement; withdrawal of Israel troops from Palestinian cities, including Ramallah; implementation of the already-agreed-upon Tenet and Mitchell plans, which will lead to a political settlement. :: 020404

 as I mentioned earlier, had it been a specific threat, we would have contacted those to whom the threat was directed. :: 011000

 As long as the United States of America is determined and strong, this will not be an age of terror. :: 010920

 As President Kennedy said in October of 1962: "Neither the United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation, large or small. :: 021007

 As we mourn tomorrow, we must remember that our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, not a religion; that governments which support them are our enemies, not faithful Muslims who love their families, who yearn for a more peaceful and safe world for their children. :: 020910

 At Oslo and elsewhere, Chairman Arafat renounced terror as an instrument of his cause, and he agreed to control it. :: 020404

 At the appropriate time, this administration will go to the Congress to seek approval for -- necessary to deal with the threat. :: 020904

 by helping the developing nations of the world, we offer an alternative to resentment and conflict and terror. :: 020430

 chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained. :: 030128

 Close immediately and permanently every terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. :: 010920

 Deterrence can no longer be based solely on the threat of nuclear retaliation. :: 010501

 Different threats require different strategies. :: 030128

 Eleven years ago, as a condition for ending the Persian Gulf War, the Iraqi regime was required to destroy its weapons of mass destruction, to cease all development of such weapons and to stop all support for terrorist groups. :: 021007

 Every nation actually committed to peace must block the shipment of Iranian supplies to these groups, and oppose regimes that promote terror, like Iraq. :: 020624

 Every nation actually committed to peace will stop the flow of money, equipment and recruits to terrorist groups seeking the destruction of Israel -- including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. :: 020624

 Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. :: 010920

 Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of Al Qaeda. :: 030128

 Failure to act would embolden other tyrants; allow terrorists access to new weapons and new resources; and make blackmail a permanent feature of world events. :: 021007

 finally, please continue praying for the victims of terror and their families, for those in uniform and for our great country. :: 010920

 First, we will shut down terrorist camps, disrupt terrorist plans, and bring terrorists to justice. :: 020129

 For seven days, it has acted to rout out terrorists' nests. :: 020404

 for the long-term security of America and civilization itself, we must confront the great threat of biological and chemical and nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists or hostile regimes. :: 020430

 Free societies do not intimidate through cruelty and conquest, and open societies do not threaten the world with mass murder. :: 020912

 Freedom and democracy are under attack. :: 010912

 From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. :: 010920

 Give the United States full access to terrorist training camps, so we can make sure they are no longer operating. :: 010920

 Given his failure, the Israel government feels it must strike at terrorist networks that are killing its citizens. :: 020404

 Had it been specific, we would have dealt with the specifics of the threat. :: 011000

 hand over every terrorist and every person and their support structure to appropriate authorities. :: 010920

 He will lead, oversee and coordinate a comprehensive national strategy to safeguard our country against terrorism and respond to any attacks that may come. :: 010920

 He would be in a position to threaten America. :: 021007

 I'm aware of the intelligence that caused the warning to be issued, and it was a general threat on America. :: 011000

 I'm confident we will be able to -- I'll be able to work with Congress to deal with this threat to the American people. :: 020904

 I'm going to ask my friend to envision a world in which a terrorist thug and/or a host nation might have the ability to develop -- to deliver a weapon of mass destruction via a --via rocket. :: 011000

 I'm proud of the way our health care and postal workers and the American people are responding with calm in the face of this deadly new threat. :: 011108

 I've also asked Congress to fill a critical need in our defense against bioterror by committing almost 6 billion to quickly make available effective vaccines and treatments against agents like small pox, anthrax, botulinum toxin, Ebola and plague. :: 030215r

 I've said in the past that nations are either with us or against us in the war on terror. :: 020624

 I've talked to many countries that are interested in making sure that the post-operations Afghanistan is one that is stable, and one that doesn't become yet again a haven for terrorist criminals. :: 011000

 I also made it very clear that we look forward to a open dialogue with Congress and the American people about the threat, and that not only will we consult with the United States Congress -- we, being the administration -- but that my administration will fully participate in any hearings that the Congress wishes to have on this subject, on the subject about how to make America a more secure country, how to best protect the American families in our country. :: 020904

 I am absolutely determined -- absolutely determined -- to rout terrorism out where it exists and bring them to justice. :: 011000

 I ask Congress to work with me to pass a terrorism insurance bill to give companies the security they need to expand and to build. :: 020709

 I ask you to join me on these important domestic issues in the same spirit of cooperation we've applied to our war against terrorism. :: 020129

 I ask you tonight to add to our future security with a major research and production effort to guard our people against bio-terrorism, called Project Bioshield. :: 030128

 I believe it's really important for the United States Congress to have an open dialogue about how to deal with this threat. :: 020904

 I call on all Americans to serve by bettering our communities and thereby defy and defeat the terrorists. :: 011108

 I call on the Palestinian Authority and all governments in the region to do everything in their power to stop terrorist activities, to disrupt terrorist financing, and to stop inciting violence by glorifying terror in state-owned media or telling suicide bombers they are martyrs. :: 020404

 I call on the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Authority and our friends in the Arab world to join us in delivering a clear message to terrorists: Blowing yourself up does not help the Palestinian cause. :: 020404

 I call on the Palestinian people to elect new leaders, leaders not compromised by terror. :: 020624

 I know many citizens have fears tonight, and I ask you to be calm and resolute, even in the face of a continuing threat. :: 010920

 I know that is your attitude as well -- certainly the attitude of this government: that we should not hold one who is a Muslim responsible for an act of terror. :: 010913

 I know the people in New York are scared because of the World Trade Center and all, but if we're scared, we are giving the terrorists all the power. :: 011108

 I made a point of talking about that in a press conference because I wanted not only terrorists to understand, but the American people understand that we'll be patient, if need be, to bring them to justice. :: 011000

 I made it very clear to the Georgian government that we expected them to rout out the al Qaeda-type terrorists in the Pankisi Gorge. :: 020914

 I take these threats seriously. :: 020910

 I think the American people should take comfort in the fact that their government is doing everything we possibly can do to run down every possible lead, and take threats --and we take threats seriously. :: 011000

 I want to complete the work of changing our relationship from one based on a nuclear balance of terror to one based on common responsibilities and common interests. :: 010501

 I was heartened by the Organization of Islamic Conference's statement of support for our war against terror. :: 011000

 I will respond to this threat starting Thursday. :: 020910

 I would like to report to the American people on the state of our war against terror, and then I'll be happy to take questions from the White House press corps. :: 011000

 if an emboldened regime were to supply these weapons to terrorist allies, then the attacks of September the 11th would be a prelude to far greater horrors. :: 020912

 If Palestinians embrace democracy, confront corruption and firmly reject terror, they can count on American support for the creation of a provisional state of Palestine. :: 020624

 If the Iraqi regime wishes peace, it will immediately end all support for terrorism and act to suppress it, as all states are required to do by U.N. Security Council resolutions. :: 020912

 If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words and all recriminations would come too late. :: 030128

 If we stop now -- leaving terror camps intact and terror states unchecked -- our sense of security would be false and temporary. :: 020129

 if you want to join the coalition against terror, we'll welcome you in. :: 011000

 In 1991, Security Council Resolution 688 demanded that the Iraqi regime cease at once the repression of its own people, including the systematic repression of minorities -- which the Council said, threatened international peace and security in the region. :: 020912

 In 1991, the U.N. Security Council, through Resolution 687, demanded that Iraq renounce all involvement with terrorism, and permit no terrorist organizations to operate in Iraq. :: 020912

 In 2003, we must work to strengthen our economy; improve access to affordable, high quality health care for all our seniors; encourage compassion at home and abroad; and defend our nation against the threats of a new era. :: 030125r

 In addition to declaring and destroying all of its weapons of mass destruction, Iraq must end its support for terrorism. :: 021007

 In cells and camps, terrorists are plotting further destruction, and building new bases for their war against civilization. :: 020912

 In four short months, our nation has comforted the victims, begun to rebuild New York and the Pentagon, rallied a great coalition, captured, arrested, and rid the world of thousands of terrorists, destroyed Afghanistan's terrorist training camps, saved a people from starvation, and freed a country from brutal oppression. :: 020129

 In Iran we continue to see a government that represses its people, pursues weapons of mass destruction and supports terror. :: 030128

 In one place -- in one regime -- we find all these dangers, in their most lethal and aggressive forms, exactly the kind of aggressive threat the United Nations was born to confront. :: 020912

 In our war against terror, we must never lose sight of the values that makes our country so strong; the values of respect and tolerance. :: 020910

 In our war on terror, we are showing the world the strength of our country, and by our unity and tolerance and compassion, we will show the world the soul of our country. :: 020430

 In spite of all that happened last year, from the economic slowdown to the terrorist attack, worker productivity has grown by 4.2 percent over the last four quarters. :: 020709

 In terms of missile defense, I can't wait to visit with my friend, Vladimir Putin, in Shanghai, to reiterate once again that the Cold War is over, it's done with, and that there are new threats that we face; and no better example of that new threat than the attack on America on September 11th. :: 011000

 in the face of ongoing threats, determined and courageous. :: 011108

 In the face of this great tragedy, Americans are refusing to give terrorists the power. :: 011108

 In the fight against terror, the American people are resolute. :: 030215r

 In the months ahead, we'll confront every threat to the safety and security of the American people. :: 030107

 In violation of Security Council Resolution 1373, Iraq continues to shelter and support terrorist organizations that direct violence against Iran, Israel, and Western governments. :: 020912

 information-sharing between the CIA and the FBI is seamless, so that the reaction to any threat is real-time. :: 011000

 Iran's arms shipments and support for terror fuel the fire of conflict in the Middle East, and it must stop. :: 020404

 Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom. :: 020129

 Iraq's government openly praised the attacks of September the 11th. :: 020912

 Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. :: 020129

 Iraq could decide on any given day to provide a biological or chemical weapon to a terrorist group or individual terrorists. :: 021007

 Israeli citizens will continue to be victimized by terrorists, and so Israel will continue to defend herself. :: 020624

 It's a responsibility we share, to make sure that under situations such as this, when there are possible threats facing our government, that we separate ourselves, for the sake of continuity of our government. :: 011000

 it's my duty as the President of the United States to use the resources of this great nation, a freedom-loving nation, a compassionate nation, a nation that understands values of life, and rout terrorism out where it exists. :: 011000

 It's time for Iran to focus on meeting its own people's aspirations for freedom and for Syria to decide which side of the war against terror it is on. :: 020404

 It arises directly from the Iraqi regime's own actions, its history of aggression and its drive toward an arsenal of terror. :: 021007

 It has given shelter and support to terrorism and practices terror against its own people. :: 021007

 It is crucial to distinguish between the terrorists and ordinary Palestinians seeking to provide for their own families. :: 020404

 It is not only repressing its own people, it is threatening people everywhere by sponsoring and sheltering and supplying terrorists. :: 010920

 It is time to leave the Cold War behind, and defend against the new threats of the 21st century. :: 000523

 It is to achieve a result: the end of terrible threats to the civilized world. :: 030128

 It is untenable for Israeli citizens to live in terror. :: 020624

 It prohibits us from exploring all options for defending against the threats that face us, our allies and other countries. :: 010501

 It should be reassuring, rather than threatening. :: 010501

 It was in recognition of a general threat we received. :: 011000

 It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated. :: 010920

 Its government has supported the creation of a Palestinian state that is not a haven for terrorism. :: 020404

 Just three days removed from these events, Americans do not yet have the distance of history, but our responsibility to history is already clear: to answer these attacks and rid the world of evil. :: 010914

 Knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. :: 021007

 Knowledge gained from bioterrorism research will improve public health. :: 020129

 Last week the national terrorist threat level was raised to "high." :: 030215r

 let me give you one example of a specific threat we received. :: 011000

 Life in America is going forward, and as the fourth grader who wrote me knew, that is the ultimate repudiation of terrorism. :: 011108

 Local police will be able to access federal terrorist information from their squad cars to determine whether individuals they have pulled over or detained have terrorist links. :: 030215r

 Many Americans have raised legitimate questions: About the nature of the threat. :: 021007

 Many nations represented here have joined in the fight against global terror, and the people of the United States are grateful. :: 020912

 Members of the Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, agree that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm. :: 021007

 Mr. Secretary General, Mr. President, distinguished delegates, and ladies and gentlemen: We meet one year and one day after a terrorist attack brought grief to my country, and brought grief to many citizens of our world. :: 020912

 My budget nearly doubles funding for a sustained strategy of homeland security, focused on four key areas: bioterrorism, emergency response, airport and border security, and improved intelligence. :: 020129

 My hope is that all nations will heed our call, and eliminate the terrorist parasites who threaten their countries and our own. :: 020129

 No nation can negotiate with terrorists, for there is no way to make peace with those whose only goal is death. :: 020404

 No nation can pick and choose its terrorist friends. :: 020404

 No treaty that prevents us from addressing today's threats, that prohibits us from pursuing promising technology to defend ourselves, our friends and our allies is in our interests or in the interests of world peace. :: 010501

 Now, if we receive specific intelligence, where we -- a credible threat that targets a specific building or city or facility, I can assure you our government will do everything possible to protect the citizens around and in, or near that facility. :: 011000

 Now, in this century, the ideology of power and domination has appeared again and seeks to gain the ultimate weapons of terror. :: 030128

 of course, sophisticated delivery systems are not required for a chemical or biological attack -- all that might be required are a small container and one terrorist or Iraqi intelligence operative to deliver it. :: 021007

 On September 11, 2001, America felt its vulnerability -- even to threats that gather on the other side of the earth. :: 021007

 On the issue of nuclear weapons, the United States has an opportunity to lead to a safer world—both to defend against nuclear threats and reduce nuclear tensions. :: 000523

 On the law enforcement front, terrorists are being swept up in an international dragnet. :: 011000

 On this first observance of Patriot Day, we remember and honor those who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. :: 020904p

 On Wednesday, Secretary of State Powell briefed the United Nations Security Council on Iraq's illegal weapons program, its attempts to hide those weapons, and its links to terrorist groups. :: 030208r

 One by one the terrorists are learning the meaning of American justice. :: 030128

 One of the greatest dangers we face is that weapons of mass destruction might be passed to terrorists who would not hesitate to use those weapons. :: 030208r

 One of the things I made very clear to the members here is that doing nothing about that serious threat is not an option for the United States. :: 020904

 One way to defeat terrorism is to show the world the true values of America through the gathering momentum of a million acts of responsibility and decency and service. :: 011108

 our ability to affect host nations harboring terrorists will depend upon our determination, our will, our patience. :: 011000

 our Armed Forces have pursued the war against terrorism in Afghanistan and elsewhere with valor and skill. :: 020904p

 Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. :: 021007

 Our enemies have threatened other acts of terror. :: 011108

 Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them. :: 010920

 Our focus is on Afghanistan, and the terrorist network hiding in Afghanistan, right now. :: 011000

 Our great nation—national challenge is to hunt down the terrorists and strengthen our protection against future attacks. :: 011108

 our greatest fear is that terrorists will find a shortcut to their mad ambitions when an outlaw regime supplies them with the technologies to kill on a massive scale. :: 020912

 Our military has put the terror training camps of Afghanistan out of business, yet camps still exist in at least a dozen countries. :: 020129

 our military was shaped to confront the challenges of the past, so I have asked the secretary of defense to review America's armed forces and prepare to transform them to meet emerging threats. :: 010227

 Our mutual security need no longer depend on a nuclear balance of terror. :: 000523

 Our nation also needs a clear strategy to confront the threats of the 21st century, threats that are more widespread and less certain. :: 010227

 Our nation and the world must learn the lessons of the Korean Peninsula and not allow an even greater threat to rise up in Iraq. :: 030128

 Our nation faces a threat to our freedoms, and the stakes could not be higher. :: 011108

 Our nation is preparing for a variety of threats we hope never will arrive. :: 030215r

 Our nation must recognize new threats, not fixate on old ones. :: 000523

 Our nation, this generation, will lift the dark threat of violence from our people and our future. :: 010920

 Our Navy is patrolling the coast of Africa to block the shipment of weapons and the establishment of terrorist camps in Somalia. :: 020129

 Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction. :: 020129

 Our soldiers, working with the Bosnian government, seized terrorists who were plotting to bomb our embassy. :: 020129

 Our staunch friends, Great Britain, our neighbors Canada and Mexico, our NATO allies, our allies in Asia, Russia and nations from every continent on the Earth have offered help of one kind or another -- from military assistance to intelligence information, to crack down on terrorists' financial networks. :: 011000

 Our war against terror is a contest of will in which perseverance is power. :: 030128

 Our war on terror begins with Al Qaeda, but it does not end there. :: 010920

 Our war on terror is well begun, but it is only begun. :: 020129

 Our war on terrorism has nothing to do with differences in faith. :: 011000

 Ours is a war against terrorism in general. :: 011000

 Over the years, Iraq has provided safe haven to terrorists such as Abu Nidal, whose terror organization carried out more than ninety terrorist attacks in twenty countries that killed or injured nearly 900 people, including 12 Americans. :: 021007

 Pakistan is now cracking down on terror, and I admire the strong leadership of President Musharraf. :: 020129

 People everywhere prefer freedom to slavery; prosperity to squalor; self-government to the rule of terror and torture. :: 021007

 Permanent occupation threatens Israel's identity and democracy. :: 020624

 Raising the threat level also informs the general public to be more alert to their surroundings and prepared for possible emergencies in the event of an attack. :: 030215r

 Russia and America both face new threats to security. :: 010501

 Saddam Hussein attacked Iran in 1980 and Kuwait in 1990. :: 020912

 Saddam Hussein has longstanding, direct and continuing ties to terrorist networks. :: 030208r

 Saddam Hussein is a serious threat. He is a significant problem. :: 020904

 Saddam Hussein is harboring terrorists and the instruments of terror, the instruments of mass death and destruction. :: 021007

 Saddam Hussein would be in a position to pass nuclear technology to terrorists. :: 021007

 second, we must prevent the terrorists and regimes who seek chemical, biological or nuclear weapons from threatening the United States and the world. :: 020129

 Secondly, I had a chance to speak to the United Nations to talk about another threat face -- that we face -- that we face, all of us face, in the civilized world -- and that is a threat of weapons of mass destruction in the hands of leaders who disregard human liberty, that do not believe in freedom; a leader, in this case, who's poisoned his own people, poisoned his neighbors, attacked in his neighborhood, and refuses -- refuses -- to comply with United Nations' regulations, as a matter of fact, defies the United Nations. :: 020914

 Secondly, we've got to work for a stable Afghanistan so that her neighbors don't fear terrorist activity again coming out of that country. :: 011000

 Secretary of State Powell will present information and intelligence about Iraqi's--Iraq's illegal weapons programs, its attempts to hide those weapons from inspectors and its links to terrorist groups. :: 030128

 Secretly, and without fingerprints, he could provide one of his hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their own. :: 030128

 Since I was last here, America has also accepted a great challenge in the world: to wage a relentless and systematic campaign against global terror. :: 020430

 Since September the 11th, our intelligence and law enforcement agencies have worked more closely than ever to track and disrupt the terrorists. :: 030128

 Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? :: 030128

 so I would urge my fellow Americans, obviously, if they see something suspicious, abnormal, something that looks threatening, report it to local law enforcement. :: 011000

 So long as training camps operate, so long as nations harbor terrorists, freedom is at risk. :: 020129

 so we're going to slowly, but surely, tighten the net on terrorists, wherever they live. :: 011000

 So we acted -- we reopened the markets; we helped the people of New York City recover; we assisted the airlines; we provided tax incentives for business investment; and we passed terrorism insurance, so building and real estate projects could go forward. :: 030107

 so we should take these threats seriously. :: 011000

 so, therefore, we have gone to a different level of concern, a different threat level, which means our government will be providing extra security at key facilities, and that we'll be increasing surveillance. :: 020910

 some governments will be timid in the face of terror. :: 020129

 Some have argued that confronting the threat from Iraq could detract from the war against terror. :: 021007

 Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. :: 030128

 Some speak of an age of terror. :: 010920

 Spent most of our time talking about a serious threat to the United States, a serious threat to the world, and that's Saddam Hussein. :: 020904

 States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. :: 020129

 success or failure depends not on bin Laden; success or failure depends upon routing out terrorism where it may exist all around the world. :: 011000

 Syria must choose the right side in the war on terror by closing terrorist camps and expelling terrorist organizations. :: 020624

 Terror cells, and outlaw regimes building weapons of mass destruction, are different faces of the same evil. :: 021007

 Terror must be stopped. :: 020404

 Terror unanswered can not only bring down buildings, it can threaten the stability of legitimate governments. :: 010920

 Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. :: 010911

 terrorist leaders who urged followers to sacrifice their lives are running for their own. :: 020129

 Terrorists attacked a symbol of American prosperity; they did not touch its source. :: 010920

 Terrorists in that country are now scattered, and the children of Afghanistan have returned to school, boys and girls. :: 020430

 Terrorists who once occupied Afghanistan now occupy cells at Guantanamo Bay. :: 020129

 Thanks to the work of our law enforcement officials and coalition partners, hundreds of terrorists have been arrested. :: 020129

 That hope fell away when a terrorist attacked a group of innocent people at a Netanya hotel, killing many men and women in what is a mounting toll of terror. :: 020404

 that is the source of our urgent concern about Saddam Hussein's links to international terrorist groups. :: 021007

 The attack took place on American soil, but it was an attack on the heart and soul of the civilized world. :: 011000

 The chairman of the Palestinian Authority has not consistently opposed or confronted terrorists. :: 020404

 The conduct of the Iraqi regime is a threat to the authority of the United Nations, and a threat to peace. :: 020912

 The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. :: 010912

 The dictator of Iraq is a student of Stalin, using murder as a tool of terror and control within his own cabinet, and within his own army, and even within his own family. :: 021007

 the doctrine I spelled out to the American people in front of Congress said not only will we seek out and bring to justice individual terrorists who cause harm to people, to murder people, we will also bring to justice the host governments that sponsor them, that house them and feed them. :: 011000

 The emerging security threats to the United States, its friends and allies, and even to Russia, now come from rogue states, terrorist groups and other adversaries seeking weapons of mass destruction, and the means to deliver them. :: 000523

 The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al Qaeda. :: 010920

 The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. :: 010917

 The FBI is expanding its terrorist identification system, so that 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies will be able to identify known or suspected terrorists almost immediately. :: 030215r

 The FBI is improving its ability to analyze intelligence, and is transforming itself to meet new threats. :: 030128

 The FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Defense are working together as never before to assemble and analyze the threat information so we can act before our enemies can strike us. :: 030215r

 The forces of extremism and terror are attempting to kill progress and peace by killing the innocent. :: 020624

 The misdeeds now being uncovered in some quarters of corporate America are threatening the financial well-being of many workers and many investors. :: 020709

 The moment the second plane hit the second building, when we knew it was a terrorist attack, many felt that our lives would never be the same. :: 011108

 The next priority of my budget is to do everything possible to protect our citizens and strengthen our nation against the ongoing threat of another attack. :: 020129

 The only way to defeat terrorism as a threat to our way of life is to stop it, eliminate it and destroy it where it grows. :: 010920

 The Palestinian Authority has rejected your offer at hand, and trafficked with terrorists. :: 020624

 The risk is simply too great that he will use them, or provide them to a terror network. :: 021007

 The secretary has identified near-term options that could allow us to deploy an initial capability against limited threats. :: 010501

 The Soviet Union was our unquestioned enemy, a highly armed threat to freedom and democracy. :: 010501

 The Syrians have talked to us about how they can help in the war against terrorism. :: 011000

 The Taliban made a choice to continue hiding terrorists and now they're paying a price. :: 011108

 The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans and make no distinctions among military and civilians, including women and children. :: 010920

 The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself. :: 010920

 The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics; a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam. :: 010920

 The thing that makes our nation so strong and that will ultimately defeat terrorist activity is our willingness to tolerate people of different faiths, different opinions, different colors within the fabric of our society. :: 011000

 The threat comes from Iraq. :: 021007

 The threat was real and vivid. :: 010501

 The threats that we have heard recently remind us of the pattern of threats we heard prior to September the 11th. :: 020910

 The United States and other nations will confront this threat, as well. :: 030107

 The United States is under threats. :: 020904

 The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons. :: 020129

 the United States will not support the establishment of a Palestinian state until its leaders engage in a sustained fight against the terrorists and dismantle their infrastructure. :: 020624

 The war on terror is an ongoing priority for our nation. :: 030125r

 The world expects an immediate cease-fire, immediate resumption of security cooperation with Israel against terrorism, and an immediate order to crack down on terrorist networks. :: 020404

 The world has tried no-fly zones to keep Saddam from terrorizing his own people . :: 021007

 Their country was a haven for terror. :: 020910

 Their intention was to so frighten our government that we wouldn't seek justice; that somehow we would cower in the face of their threats and not respond, abroad or at home. :: 011000

 There's never a day when I do not learn of another threat, or receive reports of operations in progress or give an order in this global war against a scattered network of killers. :: 030128

 There are days when our fellow citizens do not hear news about the war on terror. :: 030128

 There are thousands of these terrorists in more than 60 countries. :: 010920

 There is simply no way to achieve that peace until all parties fight terror. :: 020624

 These actions killed or injured at least 20,000 people, more than six times the number of people who died in the attacks of September 11. :: 021007

 These recent threats are a stark reminder that our country remains engaged in a war on terror. :: 030215r

 These regimes could use such weapons for blackmail, terror and mass murder. :: 030128

 These terrorists don't represent peace. :: 010917

 These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life. :: 010920

 These threats have the potential to destabilize freedom and progress and we will not permit it. :: 010717

 these witnesses must be free to bring their families with them, so they are all beyond the reach of Saddam Hussein's terror and murder. :: 021007

 They appreciate the fact that we work in concert to destroy terrorist training camps in Afghanistan so that those terrorists might not hurt others. :: 020910

 They are recruited from their own nations and neighborhoods and brought to camps in places like Afghanistan where they are trained in the tactics of terror. :: 010920

 They could also give or sell those weapons to terrorist allies, who would use them without the least hesitation. :: 030128

 They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. :: 020129

 They have attacked America because we are freedom's home and defender, and the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time. :: 010914

 They include a man who directed logistics and funding for the September the 11th attacks, the chief of Al Qaeda operations in the Persian Gulf who planned the bombings of our embassies in East Africa and the USS Cole, an Al Qaeda operations chief from Southeast Asia, a former director of Al Qaeda's training camps in Afghanistan, a key Al Qaeda operative in Europe, a major Al Qaeda leader in Yemen. :: 030128

 They must truly help the Palestinian people by seeking peace and fighting terror and promoting development. :: 020404

 They range from terrorists who threaten with bombs to tyrants and rogue nations intent on developing weapons of mass destruction. :: 010227

 They recognize -- and Secretary Rumsfeld clearly understands this -- that we need to have a -- that we need to rethink how we configure our military -- there's been some stories to that effect -- so that we can more effectively respond to assymetrical responses from terrorist organizations. :: 011000

 They understand that if this terror goes unpunished, their own cities, their own citizens may be next. :: 010920

 They will hand over the terrorists or they will share in their fate. :: 010920

 This can be a time for hope, but it calls for leadership, not for terror. :: 020404

 this Congress and the American people must recognize another threat. :: 030128

 This enemy attacked not just our people, but all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world. :: 010912

 This is a different war from any our nation has ever faced, a war on many fronts, against terrorists who operate in more than 60 different countries. :: 011108

 This is primarily a signal to federal, state and local law enforcement to take additional precautions and increase security measures against potential terrorist attacks. :: 030215r

 this nation is leading the world in confronting and defeating the man-made evil of international terrorism. :: 030128

 This requires a new strategic framework that moves beyond Cold War doctrines and addresses the threats of a new century such as cyber-terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, missiles in the hands of those for whom terror and blackmail are a very way of life. :: 010717

 This threat hides within many nations, including my own. :: 020912

 This threat is new; America's duty is familiar. :: 030128

 this unity against terror is now extending across the world. :: 010914

 This week at FBI Headquarters, I spoke to some of the fine men and women who are leading our anti-terrorism efforts in law enforcement and intelligence. :: 030215r

 This week, 56 Islamic nations issued a statement strongly condemning the savage acts of terror, and emphasizing that those acts contradict the peaceful teachings of Islam. :: 011000

 Thousands of law enforcement officials are aggressively investigating this bioterrorism attack, and public health officials are distributing the most accurate, up-to-date information we have to medical professionals and to the public. :: 011108

 Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. :: 010911

 Threats also come from insecure nuclear stockpiles and the proliferation of dangerous technologies. :: 000523

 Throughout the country, joint terrorism task forces are bringing together federal, state and local officials to fight terrorism. :: 030215r

 To honor the innocent victims who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. :: 020904p

 To improve our health care system, we must address one of the prime causes of higher cost: the constant threat that physicians and hospitals will be unfairly sued. :: 030128

 To protect our country, we reorganized our government and created the Department of Homeland Security, which is mobilizing against the threats of a new era. :: 030128

 To the contrary, confronting the threat posed by Iraq is crucial to winning the war on terror. :: 021007

 Today in Iraq, we see a threat whose outlines are far more clearly defined -- and whose consequences could be far more deadly. :: 021007

 Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. :: 010911

 Today, Palestinian authorities are encouraging, not opposing, terrorism. :: 020624

 Today, the gravest danger in the war on terror, the gravest danger facing America and the world, is outlaw regimes that seek and possess nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. :: 030128

 Together with friends and allies from Europe to Asia, and Africa to Latin America, we will demonstrate that the forces of terror cannot stop the momentum of freedom. :: 020129

 Together, we can address today's threats and pursue today's opportunities. :: 010501

 Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. :: 010911

 Tonight I want to take a few minutes to discuss a grave threat to peace and America's determination to lead the world in confronting that threat. :: 021007

 Tonight, I am instructing the leaders of the FBI, the CIA, the Homeland Security and the Department of Defense to develop a Terrorist Threat Integration Center, to merge and analyze all threat information in a single location. :: 030128

 tonight, thanks to them, we are winning the war on terror. :: 020129

 True reform will require entirely new political and economic institutions, based on democracy, market economics and action against terrorism. :: 020624

 Tyranny and terror and lawless violence will not decide the world's future. :: 020430

 Ultimately, one of the best weapons, one of the truest weapons that we have against terrorism is to show the world the true strength of character and kindness of the American people. :: 011000

 Understanding the threats of our time, knowing the designs and deceptions of the Iraqi regime, we have every reason to assume the worst, and we have an urgent duty to prevent the worst from occurring. :: 021007

 Unlike the Cold War, today's most urgent threat stems not from thousands of ballistic missiles in the Soviet hands, but from a small number of missiles in the hands of these states -- states for whom terror and blackmail are a way of life. :: 010501

 We're also confronting the outlaw regime in Iraq that lives by violence and deception, and is arming to threaten the civilized world. :: 030107

 We're hunting down the terrorists who seek to sow chaos. :: 020709

 We're making progress in the war against terror. :: 020914

 We're mounting a sustained campaign to drive the terrorists out of their hidden caves and to bring them to justice. :: 011000

 We're waging a war -- we're waging an unrelenting effort in this war to dismantle a terrorist network which has attacked America. :: 021212

 We've got the terrorists on the run. :: 030128

 We've had a good discussion about our common efforts to fight terror. :: 011106

 We've passed a new anti-terrorism law, which gives our law enforcement officers the necessary tools to track terrorists before they harm Americans. :: 011108

 We -- as I mentioned, Helen, this is a long war against terrorist activity. :: 011000

 We agree that the Iraqi dictator must not be permitted to threaten America and the world with horrible poisons, and diseases, and gases, and atomic weapons. :: 021007

 We also know that Iraq is harboring a terrorist network headed by a senior al Qaeda terrorist planner. :: 030208r

 We are aggressively pursuing the agents of terror around the world, and we are aggressively strengthening our protections here at home. :: 011000

 We are sending a signal to the world as we speak that if you harbor a terrorist, there will be a price to pay. :: 011000

 We can be confident because America's taking every necessary step to fight and win the war on terror. :: 020709

 We cannot let the terrorists achieve the objective of frightening our nation to the point where we don't --where we don't conduct business, where people don't shop. :: 011000

 We contacted every crop-dust location, airports from which crop dusters leave, we notified crop duster manufactures to a potential threat. :: 011000

 We could wait and hope that Saddam does not give weapons to terrorists, or develop a nuclear weapon to blackmail the world. :: 021007

 We do not know whether this attack came from the same terrorists. :: 011108

 We fight these terrorists that hide in caves and send their youngsters to suicidal death. :: 020914

 we had another threat, a general threat. :: 011000

 We have entered the next phase of the war, with a sustained international effort, to rout out terrorists in other countries, and deny al-Qaeda the chance to regroup in other places. :: 020430

 We have faced unprecedented bioterrorist attack delivered in our mail. :: 011108

 We have no specific threat to America, but we're taking everything seriously, obviously. :: 020910

 We have ruined terrorist training camps, disrupted their communications, weakened the Taliban military, and destroyed most of their air defenses. :: 011000

 We have seen it in the courage of passengers who rushed terrorists to save others on the ground. :: 010920

 we know that after September 11, Saddam Hussein's regime gleefully celebrated the terrorist attacks on America. :: 021007

 We know that Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network share a common enemy -- the United States of America. :: 021007

 we know that Iraq is continuing to finance terror, and gives assistance to groups that use terrorism to undermine Middle East peace. :: 021007

 We must also resolve questions concerning Jerusalem, the plight and future of Palestinian refugees, and a final peace between Israel and Lebanon, and Israel and a Syria that supports peace and fights terror. :: 020624

 We must rid the world of terrorists so our children and grandchildren can grow up in freedom. :: 011000

 We must work together with other like-minded nations to deny weapons of terror from those seeking to acquire them. :: 010501

 We need a new framework that allows us to build missile defenses to counter the different threats of today's world. :: 010501

 We now have troops in the Philippines, helping to train that country's armed forces to go after terrorist cells that have executed an American, and still hold hostages. :: 020129

 We recognize that our war against terror is more than just military action in Afghanistan; that we have an obligation to help feed the innocent people in Afghanistan, and that we've got to make sure that there is a post-Taliban government that reflects the values of both our countries. :: 011106

 We recognize the technological difficulties we face, and we look forward to I've made it clear from the very beginning that I would consult closely on the important subject with our friends and allies, who are also threatened by missiles and weapons of mass destruction. :: 010501

 We resolved then, and we are resolved today, to confront every threat, from any source, that could bring sudden terror and suffering to America. :: 021007

 We seek a just and peaceful world beyond the war on terror. :: 020129

 We take each threat seriously. :: 011108

 We take every threat seriously. :: 011000

 We talked about a variety of issues -- talked about the defense appropriations bill, and terrorism insurance, and an energy bill. :: 020904

 We value education; the terrorists do not believe women should be educated, or should have health care, or should leave their homes. :: 011108

 We value life; the terrorists ruthlessly destroy it. :: 011108

 We value the right to speak our minds; for the terrorists, free expression can be grounds for execution. :: 011108

 We will come together to give law enforcement the additional tools it needs to track down terror here at home. :: 010920

 We will come together to strengthen our intelligence capabilities to know the plans of terrorists before they act and to find them before they strike. :: 010920

 We will confront outlaw regimes which hate our country and arm to threaten civilization, itself. :: 021212

 We will confront the hard issues — threats to our national security, threats to our health and retirement security — before the challenges of our time become crises for our children. :: 000803

 We will continue to hunt down the terrorists all across the world. :: 030107

 We will direct every resource at our command — every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence, and every necessary weapon of war — to the destruction and to the defeat of the global terror network. :: 010920

 we will do so any time we receive a credible threat. :: 011000

 We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. :: 010911

 We will not allow the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten America or our friends and allies with the world's most destructive weapons. :: 020430

 we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. :: 010920

 We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place until there is no refuge or no rest. :: 010920

 We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans. :: 010920

 We will take every measure that is necessary to protect the American people from terrorist groups and outlaw regimes. :: 030125r

 We will work closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their state sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and deliver weapons of mass destruction. :: 020129

 We will work for a prosperity that is broadly shared, and we will answer every danger and every enemy that threatens the American people. :: 030128

 We worried about the proliferation of nuclear weapons to other countries, but it was mostly a distant threat, not yet a reality. :: 010501

 Well, we are -- we take every threat seriously. :: 020910

 What we couldn't be sure of then and what the terrorists never expected was that America would emerge stronger with a renewed spirit of pride and patriotism. :: 011108

 What we have found in Afghanistan confirms that, far from ending there, our war against terror is only beginning. :: 020129

 When I spoke to the Congress more than a year ago, I said that those who harbor terrorists are as guilty as the terrorists themselves. :: 021007

 When the terrorists and their supporters are gone, the people of Afghanistan will say with the rest of the world, "Good riddance. :: 011108

 when we have evidence of credible threats, we will issue appropriate alerts. :: 011108

 Where terrorist groups exist of global reach, the United States and our friends and allies will seek it out, and we will destroy it. :: 011108

 While there are many dangers in the world, the threat from Iraq stands alone -- because it gathers the most serious dangers of our age in one place. :: 021007

 whoever did this unprecedented and uncivilized act is a terrorist. :: 011108

 Wondering how terrorists could hate a whole nation of people they don't even know, she asked, "Why don't we just tell them our names?" :: 011108

 Yet our resolve in each case will be clear: We will not permit any regime to threaten the freedom and security of the American people, or our allies and friends around the world. :: 030107

 Yet, I assure you that our government at every level is responding to this threat, working to track down every lead and standing watch 24 hours a day against terrorism. :: 030215r

 Yet, Israel must understand that its response to these recent attacks is only a temporary measure. :: 020404

 Yet, tens of thousands of trained terrorists are still at large. :: 020129

 You're either with the civilized world or you're with the terrorists. :: 020404

 You are either with us or you are against us in the fight against terror. :: 011106
