This is the complete text of Bush's speech today. It's an excellent summary of his international priorities and policy. I don't always agree with everything Bush says, but I'm 100% in agreement with some of it: ] On September the 11th, 2001, the terrorists left their ] mark of murder on my country and took the lives of 67 ] British citizens. With the passing of months and years, ] it is the natural human desire to resume a quiet life and ] to put that day behind us as if waking from a dark dream. ] The hope that danger has passed is comforting, is ] understanding and it is false. ] ] The attacks that followed in Bali, Jakarta, Casablanca, ] Bombay, Mombasa, Najaf, Jerusalem, Riyadh, Baghdad and ] Istanbul were not dreams. They're part of a global ] campaign by terrorist networks to intimidate and ] demoralize all who oppose them. ] ] These terrorists target the innocent and they kill by the ] thousands. And they would, if they gain the weapons they ] seek, kill by the millions and not be finished. ] ] The greatest threat of our age is nuclear, chemical or ] biological weapons in the hands of terrorists and the ] dictators who aid them. ] ] The evil is in plain sight. The danger only increases ] with denial. Great responsibilities fall once again to ] the great democracies. We will face these threats with ] open eyes and we will defeat them. |
