The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends. It is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them.

And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.

From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.

The United States respects the people of Afghanistan Saudi Arabia, but we condemn the Taliban regime House of Saud.

It is not only repressing its own people, it is threatening people everywhere by sponsoring and sheltering and supplying terrorists.

By aiding and abetting murder, the Taliban regime House of Saud is committing murder. And tonight the United States of America makes the following demands on the Taliban House of Saud:

-- Deliver to United States authorities all of the leaders of Al Qaeda who hide in your land.

-- Release all foreign nationals, including American citizens you have unjustly imprisoned.

-- Protect foreign journalists, diplomats and aid workers in your country.

-- Close immediately and permanently every terrorist training camp in Afghanistan Saudi Arabia. And hand over every terrorist and every person and their support structure to appropriate authorities.

-- Give the United States full access to terrorist training camps, so we can make sure they are no longer operating.

These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion.

The reason we deal with the House of Saud is because the people (those peaceful muslims) are more radical than they are--which is why their regime is considered so tenuous. I'm tired of people pretending that these radical muslim nations are occupied by largely peace-loving people who just have a handful of bad leaders.
