- Description:
- President George W. Bush makes a Presidential address two years after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In this speech, Bush informs U.S. citizens on America's actions in the war on terror. He explains the military's work in Afghanistan, destroying terrorist training camps and removing the terrorist-supporting regime. Bush says, "nearly two-thirds of al Qaeda's known leaders have been captured or killed, and we continue on al Qaeda's trail." Bush says that in Iraq, the coalition is working to create a decent and democratic society. Bush states, "The triumph of democracy and tolerance in Iraq, in Afghanistan and beyond would be a grave setback for international terrorism. The terrorists thrive on the support of tyrants and the resentments of oppressed peoples. When tyrants fall, and resentment gives way to hope, men and women in every culture reject the ideologies of terror, and turn to the pursuits of peace. Everywhere that freedom takes hold, terror will retreat."
