We can fight the War on Terrorism in other places around the world or we can fight it here in America. The right choice is to fight those terrorists where they are.

We are well aware from which countries and through which countries the terrorists are receiving support. In the immediate future I shall be calling upon the leaders of these states to put a stop to this kind of activity.

We have terrorists coming into the country both through our Northern and Southern borders.

Today, we are now deciding how do we treat those who are choosing to carry out a war against us, non-U.S. citizens who are choosing to take us to task for what we believe and who we are. In this conflict, we have to decide how we are going to try to find these terrorists.

Nevertheless, I do know that we are part of a danger zone, we have military operations in Afghanistan and we're training the Iraqi police force. The terrorists also have us in their sights.

America decided we were going to stand by and let Americans die at the hands of terrorists a long time ago.

Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.

We need to eradicate these terrorist groups, wherever they are. If we failed to do it, we are just waiting for the next.

If terrorists aren't limited by borders and boundaries, we can't be, either.

Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity.
