  • America has entered a great struggle that tests our strength, and even more our resolve. Our nation is patient and steadfast. We continue to pursue the terrorists in cities and camps and caves across the earth. We are joined by a great coalition of nations to rid the world of terror.

Now and in the future, Americans will live as free people, not in fear, and never at the mercy of any foreign plot or power.
