Prayer has comforted us in sorrow and will help strengthen us for the journey ahead.
Look, this is a man, he's got great numbers. He talks about numbers. I'm beginning to think not only did he invent the Internet, but he invented the calculator. It's fuzzy math. It's a scaring - trying to scare people in the voting booth. Under my tax plan, that he continues to criticize, I set a third - the federal government should take no more than a third of anybody's check.
I just remember, all I'm doing is remembering when I was a kid I remember that they used to put out there in the old west, a wanted poster. It said: "Wanted, Dead or Alive." All I want and America wants him brought to justice. That's what we want.
Now the Taliban will pay a price.
Ours is a nation that does not seek revenge.
The message is for everybody who wears the uniform: get ready. The United States will do what it takes to win this war... And this is an administration that is going to dedicate ourselves to winning that war.
And we will win the war, and there will be costs. But the military folks understand that, and so do I, and so does the Secretary of Defense.
And this is an administration - we're not into nation-building, we're focused on justice. And we're going to get justice. It's going to take a while, probably. But I'm a patient man. Nothing will diminish my will and my determination - nothing.
Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen. It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success.
The people who did this act on America, and who may be planning further acts, are evil people. They don't represent an ideology, they don't represent a legitimate political group of people. They're flat evil. That's all they can think about, is evil. And as a nation of good folks, we're going to hunt them down, and we're going to find them, and we will bring them to justice.
Our aim is a democratic peace.
We must help the reformers of the Middle East as they work for freedom, and strive to build a community of peaceful, democratic nations.
It is no accident that the rise of so many democracies took place in a time when the world's most influential nation was itself a democracy.
As the 20th century ended, there were around 120 democracies in the world - and I can assure you more are on the way.
