President Bush on the War on Terror, “The 9/11 Commission report said America is safer, but not yet safe. We’re making progress. Afghanistan is an ally in the war on terror. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are making raids and capturing terrorist leaders. Lybia is dismantling its weapons programs. The army of a free Iraq is fighting for freedom. Al Qaeda no longer controls Afghanistan. We’ve shut down their camps. We are systematically destroying the Al Qaeda network across the world. More than three-quarters of its key leaders and associates have been brought to justice, and the rest of them know we’re on their trail.”
