War On Terror- 9/11


President Bush’s State of the Union Address, September 20, 2011 (the following are some direct quotes that you may find useful in writing your paper):
  • On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country.
  • Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.
  • They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.
  • Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen.
  • we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism
  • We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans.
  • These measures are essential. But 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.
