"I do hereby proclaim September 11, 2006, as Patriot Day."
"We must take the threat seriously before they come to the United States and hurt us."
"We are once again answering history's call with confidence, and we know that freedom will prevail."
"September the 11th made clear that, in the long run, the only way to secure our Nation is to advance liberty and democracy as the great alternatives to repression and radicalism."
