President Bush, in his latest State of the Union address this Spring, 2003said this, EXCERPTED:
"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?"

The bottom line excerpt from President Bush's speech aboard The USS Abraham Lincoln:
"Our war against terror is proceeding according to principles that I have made clear to all:
*Any person* involved in committing or planning terrorist attacks against the American people becomes an enemy of this country, and a target of American justice.
Any person*, *organization*, or *government* that supports, protects, or harbors terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent, and equally guilty of terrorist crimes.
Any outlaw regime that has ties to terrorist groups and SEEKS or possesses weapons of mass destruction is a grave danger to the civilized world -- and will be confronted.
