I have reaffirmed since I came into office, that the United States considers PKK a terrorist organization.

The goal is to disrupt, dismantle and eventually defeat al Qaeda.

Our overarching goal remains the same: to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat Al Qaida in Afghanistan and Pakistan and to prevent its capacity to threaten America and our allies in the future.

If Al Qaida is making a phone call into the United States, we need to know why and to whom they're calling in order to protect the American citizens.

America and Italy are working with other nations to fight terror and maintain stability and secure their democratic future.

The terrorists who attacked our country on September the 11th didn't understand our country at all.

We need to be able to monitor communications of terrorists quickly and effectively.

Leaving Iraq before the job is done would endanger our citizens and embolden the enemies who have vowed to attack us again.

The enemy who attacked us on September the 11th is determined to strike this country again.

Al Qaida in their planning isn't thinking about politics.

Failure to act would harm our ability to monitor new terrorist activities and could reopen dangerous gaps in our intelligence.

If Congress does not act by that time, our ability to find out who the terrorists are talking to, what they are saying, and what they are planning will be compromised.

When Iraqis do not have to fear the terrorists, they can build a better life for themselves.

By taking the fight to the enemy in Iraq, we will defeat the terrorists there so we do not have to face them here at home.

This is no time for Congress to weaken our ability to intercept information from terrorists about potential attacks.

We have not forgotten the lessons of September the 11th.

Today's release of the National Strategy for Information Sharing is a demonstration of the extensive efforts of this Administration to enhance our ability to work with State and local partners to protect Americans from the threat of terrorism.

Iran must know that it can give up its nuclear ambitions and support for terror, or it will face further isolation.
