America's Making A Long-term Commitment To Help

To Date, We've Arrested Or Otherwise Dealt With Many Key Commanders Of Al Qaeda... All Told, More Than 3,000 Suspected Terrorists Have Been Arrested In Many Countries. Many Others Have Met A Different Fate. Let's Put It This Way - They Are No Longer A Problem To The United States And Our Friends And Allies.

I Want To Remind You Right Quick What This Country Has Been Through, And The Challenges This Economy Had Faced Over The Last Three Years. First, We Went Through A Recession. That Means We Were Going Backwards.

I Vowed To Our Countrymen That I Would Do Everything I Could To Protect The American People... That's Why I Said To Afghanistan: If You Harbor A Terrorist, You're Just As Guilty As The Terrorist.

[t]he Course Of This Nation Does Not Depend On The Decisions Of Others. Whatever Action Is Required, Whenever Action Is Necessary, I Will Defend The Freedom And Security Of The American People.

I Really Don't Want To In The Press, Genuinely Don't Want To Be In The Press.
