QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Bush Discusses Terror Plot Upon Arrival in Wisconsin
Austin Straubel International Airport
Green Bay, Wisconsin

THE PRESIDENT: The recent arrests that our fellow citizens are now learning about are a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation.

want to thank the government of Tony Blair and officials in the United Kingdom for their good work in busting this plot. I thank the officials in Washington, D.C. and around our country who gather intelligence and who work to protect the American people. The cooperation on this venture was excellent -- cooperation between U.K. and U.S. authorities and officials was solid. And the cooperation amongst agencies within our government was excellent.

This country is safer than it was prior to 9/11. We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people. But obviously, we're still not completely safe, because there are people that still plot and people who want to harm us for what we believe in. It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America. And that is why we have given our officials the tools they need to protect our people.

Travelers are going to be inconvenienced as a result of the steps we've taken. I urge their patience and ask them to be vigilant. The inconvenience is -- occurs because we will take the steps necessary to protect the American people.

Again, I appreciate the close cooperation between our government and the government of the United Kingdom. The American people need to know we live in a dangerous world, but our government will do everything we can to protect our people from those dangers.

Snugs:
Do you know of any site in the UK where we could send a note of thanks and appreciation for the wonderful job they did on thwarting this mass murder of innocent UK and US citizens?

I'd like to send them a thanks for a job well done, and I am sure there are many other Americans to share these same sentiments and respect for the UK.

Hi Snugs, Thank you for your work on the Dose today! I am getting here late tonight, and am off to bed shortly--will have to read it all tomorrow. But, I wanted to thank you and let you know that I thought of you several times today with all that is going on. The first time I thought of you today was when I was in the car on the way to school listening to a news conference from the UK. Even though the subject was horrible, I always love hearing the accents. :) Hope all is well with you and your dad.
