"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/

"Every success against the terrorists is a reminder of the shoreless ambitions of this enemy. The evil that inspired and rejoiced in Nine-Eleven is still at work in the world. And so long as that is the case, America is still a Nation at war."

"In the minds of the terrorists, this war began well before September 11th, and will not end until their radical vision is fulfilled. And these past five years have given us a much clearer view of the nature of this enemy. Al Qaeda and its followers are Sunni extremists, possessed by hatred and commanded by a harsh and narrow ideology. Take almost any principle of civilization, and their goal is the opposite. They preach with threats, instruct with bullets and bombs, and promise paradise for the murder of the innocent."
