We're fighting a war against terror with all our resources, and we're determined to win.
These organizations did more than just make promises; they made good on their promises.
In establishing a new Department of Homeland Security, the Act for the first time creates a Federal department whose primary mission will be to help prevent, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism on our soil.
I've great confidence in the men and women who will serve in this Department.
We're showing the resolve of this great Nation to defend our freedom, our security, and our way of life.
America will be better able to respond to any future attacks, to reduce our vulnerability and, most important, prevent the terrorists from taking innocent American lives.
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 takes the next critical steps in defending our country.
Russia has nothing to fear from the growth of NATO, because Russia needs peaceful, stable neighbors like Romania.
These measures will help keep terrorists and their weapons out of America.
The strength of NATO does not only depend on the might of armies but on the character of men and women.
America respects your labor, your patience, your daily determination to find a better life.
The NATO Alliance and the civilized world are confronting the new enemies of freedom, and we will prevail.
Not only will you help militarily, but as importantly, your presence will help lift, invigorate the spirit of the European North Atlantic Alliance.
The Iraqi regime will completely disarm itself of weapons of mass murder, or we, the United States, will lead a coalition of willing nations and disarm that regime in the name of peace.
As a NATO Ally, you can have this confidence: No one will be able to take away the freedom of your country.
This new Department will coordinate our response to any future emergency.
