President George W. Bush addresses Congress and nation
Calls for battle against terrorism, rejects compromise (Sept 20, 2001)
"My fellow citizens, for the last nine days, the entire world has seen for itself the state of our union and it is strong."
"Tonight we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom. Our grief has turned to anger, and anger to resolution. Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done."
"I thank the Congress for its leadership at such an important time. All of America was touched on the evening of the tragedy to see Republicans and Democrats joined together on the steps of this Capitol, singing 'God Bless America.' And you did more than sing, you acted, by delivering $40 billion to rebuild our communities and meet the needs of our military."
"I thank the world for its outpouring of support. America will never forget the sounds of our national anthem playing at Buckingham Palace, and on the streets of Paris, and at Berlins Brandenburg Gate. We will not forget South Korean children gathering to pray outside our embassy in Seoul, or the prayers of sympathy offered at a mosque in Cairo. We will not forget moments of silence and days of mourning in Australia and Africa and Latin America."
"Nor will we forget the citizens of 80 other nations who died with our own. Dozens of Pakistanis. More than 130 Israelis. More than 250 citizens of India. Men and women from El Salvador, Iran, Mexico and Japan. And hundreds of British citizens. America has no truer friend than Great Britain."
"And tonight, the United States of America makes the following demands on the Taliban:"
"Deliver to United States authorities all the leaders of al-Qaeda who hide in your land."
"Release all foreign nationals, including American citizens you have unjustly imprisoned, and protect foreign journalists, diplomats, and aid workers in your country."
"Close immediately and permanently every terrorist training camp in Afghanistan and hand over every terrorist, and every person in their support structure, to appropriate authorities."
"Give the United States full access to terrorist training camps, so we can make sure they are no longer operating."
"These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate."
"Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have seen. It may include dramatic strikes, visible on television, and covert operations, secret even in success. We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime."
"Our nation has been put on notice: We are not immune from attack. We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans."

Scriptures From The Bible...
Deuteronomy 17:1-6 New International Version (NIV)
1
Do not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep that has any defect or flaw in it, for that would be detestable to him.
2
If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant,
3
and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky,
4
and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,
5
take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.
6
On the testimony of two or three witnesses a man shall be put to death, but no one shall be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. << Click here to do an online search through the Bible to add scriptures to your own site >> << Post Your Opinion About The Terrorist Attack >> The answer to the terrorist problem is in the Scriptures God Bless America Reason vs. Terrorism America Under Attack . . . |
