It's been my honor to welcome a great friend of America to the Oval Office again.
U.S. Armed Forces began combat action in Afghanistan against Al Qaida terrorists and their Taliban supporters.
This military action is a part of our campaign against terrorism.
We will defend our country, and while we do so, we will not sacrifice the freedoms that make our land unique.
