Senator Hillary Rodham Clintons Statement On The Floor of The United States Senate In Response to the World Trade Center and Pentagon Attacks
September 12, 2001
"This was an attack on New York, but it was really an attack on America".
We will also stand united behind our President as he and his advisors plan the necessary actions to demonstrate Americas resolve and commitment. Not only to seek out an exact punishment on the perpetrators, but to make very clear that not only those who harbor terrorists, but those who in any way aid or comfort them whatsoever will now face the wrath of our country. And I hope that that message has gotten through to everywhere it needs to be heard. You are either with America in our time of need or you are not.

I'm not worried about writing checks I can't cash. Bush is the one we can stick, almost no matter what he does."
