No one has the right to ignite a war and lead an occupation and armies to conquer people invading them and make them suffer all kinds of torture murder expulsion displacement bombing and terrorism by different lethal prohibited weapons and then come and speak as the savior of the people or a defender of their rights.

In a world of inhumanity war and terrorism American citizenship is a very precious possession.

I frankly don't think it's going to be a successful war on terrorism until law enforcement agencies like the FBI are willing to share with other law enforcement agencies. If they can't share information there's no way this war can be won.

I consider Bush's decision to call for a war against terrorism a serious mistake. He is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies and one cannot lead a war against a network if the term war is to retain any definite meaning.

The fight this war this fight against the remnants of terrorism will go on for some time.

I am one who believes that we are in fact engaged in a worldwide war against terrorism. We must have the serenity to accept the fact that war is not going to go away if we ignore it.

We have no control over the outcome of anything. Like the planet and global warming we don't control that. If politicians want a war we don't control that. Acts of terrorism we can't control them.

American credibility in the war on terrorism depends on a strong stand against all terrorist acts whether committed by foe or friend.

America's veterans and troops serving abroad today fought hard to preserve our red white and blue from the Revolutionary War to today's Global War Against Terrorism and Congress' action today is appropriate for one of our most sacred symbols.

No one ever said that fighting the war against terrorism and defending our homeland would be easy. So let's support our troops law enforcement workers and our mission to keep our nation and our children safe in the days and years to come.

This was not an act of terrorism but it was an act of war.

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism not a war against terrorism.

Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terrorism have reduced the pace of military transformation and have revealed our lack of preparation for defensive and stability operations. This Administration has overextended our military.

Air travel survived decades of terrorism including attacks which resulted in the deaths of everyone on the plane. It survived 9/11. It'll survive the next successful attack. The only real worry is that we'll scare ourselves into making air travel so onerous that we won't fly anymore.

I knew from the beginning that privacy was going to be a huge issue especially with regard to applying Total Information Awareness in counterterrorism. Because if the technology development was successful a logical place to apply it was inside the United States.

We're in a new world. We're in a world in which the possibility of terrorism married up with technology could make us very very sorry that we didn't act.

I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.
