    Government Statements and Transcripts
  • Transcript: Powell Says Hunt for Terrorists to Continue 10 Jan. 2002-- Powell: This is not a campaign that we are fighting against any religion; it's against criminals, it's against terrorism. What we are doing in Afghanistan is against terrorists.

  • Transcript: Bush Says Iran Must Contribute to War Against Terror 10 Jan. 2002-- Bush: Iran must be a contributor in the war against terror; that our nation and our fight against terror will uphold the doctrine, either you're with us or against us; and any nation that thwarts our ability to rout terror out where it exists will be held to account, one way or the other.
  • Transcript: Bush Signs $318 Billion Defense Spending Bill 10 Jan. 2002-- Bush: I'd like to remind my fellow Americans there is nothing more joyous to my heart than to see our military liberate women who have lived under the most oppressive regime in the history of mankind.
  • Secretary Rumsfeld Joint Media Availability with Australian Defense Minister 10 Jan. 2002-- Rumsfeld: Well, I would respond very briefly simply by saying, "You bet." There's just no question but that this is going to be a long process. There are terrorist networks well beyond al Qaeda, and they exist in many parts of the globe. And our view is that there's no way in the world the United States can or should be engaged in this activity alone. We've had wonderful support from dozens and dozens of countries, not least of which is Australia. And we value that. And on the other hand, from our standpoint, we want to do the best possible job of dealing with terrorists and terrorist states. Therefore, we believe it's up to each country to decide in what ways -- how, when and where -- they want to cooperate with that, and to characterize it themselves.
