Rarely Has A U.s. President Been So

I Don’t Think That [the War In Iraq] Damaged Our Reputation Around The World.

I Think, In Fact, The Situation With Respect To Al Qaeda, To Say That, You Know, That Was A Big Attack We Had On 9/11, But It's Not Likely Again, I Just Think That's Dead Wrong. I Think The Biggest Strategic Threat The United States Faces Today Is The Possibility Of Another 9/11 With A Nuclear Weapon Or A Biological Agent Of Some Kind. And I Think Al Qaeda Is Out There Even As We Meet, Trying To Figure Out How To Do That.

You Got To Have People At The Top Who Respond To And Are Selected By Presidents.

One Of The Worst Things We Could Do Is Start To Act Now As Though The Attack Of 9/11 Is A Thing Of The Past And Will Never Be Repeated. That's Just Not True.

It's Very Important To Go Back And Keep In Mind The Distinction Between Handling These Events As Criminal Acts, Which Was The Way We Did Before 9/11, And Then Looking At 9/11 And Saying, 'this Is Not A Criminal Act,' Not When You Destroy 16 Acres Of Manhattan, Kill 3,000 Americans, Blow A Big Hole In The Pentagon. That's An Act Of War.
