"From the start, America and our allies have protected our people by staying on the offense. The enemy knows that the days of comfortable sanctuary, easy movement, steady financing, and free flowing communications are long over. For the terrorists, life since 9/11 has never been the same."

"Our success in this war is often measured by the things that did not happen. We cannot know the full extent of the attacks that we and our allies have prevented – but here is some of what we do know:

- We stopped an al Qaeda plot to fly a hijacked airplane into the tallest building on the West Coast.

- We broke up a Southeast Asian terrorist cell grooming operatives for attacks inside the United States.

- We uncovered an al Qaeda cell developing anthrax to be used in attacks against America.

- And just last August, British authorities uncovered a plot to blow up passenger planes bound for America over the Atlantic Ocean.

"For each life saved, we owe a debt of gratitude to the brave public servants who devote their lives to finding the terrorists and stopping them." /sustained applause/
