"President Bush today called the war on terror the great struggle of the 21st century."
"Bin laden and his terrorist allies have made their intentions as clear as Lennon and Hitler before them."
"America is safer than it has been, but it's not yet safe."
"But obviously we're still not completely safe. Because there are people that still plot and people who want to harm us for what we believe in."
