“Protecting against the Terrorist Threat”
By Kenneth L. Wainstein
The Heritage Foundation | Friday, October 24, 2008
SNIPPET: “The Honorable Kenneth L. Wainstein delivered this lecture to the Heritage Foundation on October 2, 2008.
On September 11th of this year, President Bush spoke at the dedication of the new 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon, and he discussed our military war on terror since 2001. Today, I will focus my remarks on the non–military part of that war—in particular, on the agencies in the law enforcement, homeland security, and intelligence communities and how they have responded to the 9/11 attacks.
In describing our country’s response to those attacks, I hark back 60 years or so to December 1941 and to the words that have been attributed to Admiral Yamamoto, the commander of the Japanese battle fleet, as he sailed back from the surprise attack against Pearl Harbor. While his sailors and officers were cele brating their success, the Admiral remained somber. He recognized that, by provoking a country of such size and power, Japan had actually just sealed its fate. And he reportedly rendered that prediction by saying that they had “awakened a sleeping giant.”
As we all know, Admiral Yamamoto was right. Once awakened to the true threat of Japanese and Nazi tyranny, America summoned her resolve, mobi lized her resources, built a dominant military machine, and fought with grim determination until the Axis Powers surrendered.
Al–Qaeda’s attacks on September 11, 2001, similar ly awakened our country to a totalitarian threat—this time to the threat of violent Islamic extremism. And it similarly stirred us to mobilize our will and our resources to build the capacity to defeat that threat.”
