America will never give up the openness, the freedom, and the tolerance that define us.

His capabilities, as well as his own operations, evolved over time.

The financial institutions have been notified that this has been signed and implemented.

I'm going to provide some background for you on the amendment that we have just issued in the form of an executive order that will help us disrupt Osama bin Ladin's network.

We want to take financial action against him.

These strikes were intended to prevent and deter additional attacks by a clearly identified terrorist threat.

The President met with the national security team concerning the military action against terrorist sites in Afghanistan and Sudan

I ordered these actions based on convincing information from a variety of reliable sources that the bin Ladin organization is responsible for the devastating bombings on August 7, 1998, of the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es…

The United States acted in exercise of our inherent right of self-defense consistent with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

I hereby order: Section 1.

Our battle against terrorism did not begin with the bombing of our Embassies in Africa, nor will it end with today's strike.

These threats are clearly intended to violently disrupt the Middle East peace process.

The United States does not take this action lightly.
