George Bush actually said...

"We are safer today because we've acted to address the gaps in security, intelligence, and information sharing that the terrorists exploited in the 9/11 attacks."

"The war on terror will be long and difficult, and more tough days lie ahead."

"We must take the threat seriously before they come to the United States and hurt us."

"To protect the American people, we need to do everything in our power to stop the next attack."
