George Bush actually said...

"We learned on September 11th that there were -- that it was too easy for terrorists to get into our country and to commit acts of terror against innocent American citizens."

"America is safer five years after 9/11 because we have taken action to protect the homeland."

"The best way to do so is to stay on the offense, is to defeat the enemy overseas so we do not have to face them here at home."

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