Today's bombing appears to be an effort to dissuade other members of the international community from assisting in the reconstruction of Iraq, ... We cannot allow terrorists to thwart efforts to internationalize the rebuilding process and the U.S. must redouble its efforts to recruit other countries to participate.

We have lists that are having baby lists at this point; they're spawning faster than rabbits. If we have over 300,000 known terrorists who want to do this country harm, we've got a much bigger problem than deciding which names go on which list. But I highly doubt that is the case.

This would cause a humanitarian crisis and provide a foothold for terrorists to launch their evil campaign in our country and beyond our borders.

Was it in 1983, when terrorists hit our embassy that spring in Beirut and killed several Americans, including the CIA station chief?

Westerners are in their sights, but I think Saudis understand that they, too, as a system, are in the sights of terrorists who want to overthrow the order there.

The fact that terrorists have yet again targeted not U.S. or UK troops but an international organization... shows the depth of depravity to which they stoop.

Though evidence shows that the terrorists are interested in acquiring nuclear weapons to use against our cities, a learned writer for the New York Review of Books insists that the real weapons of mass destruction are world poverty and environmental abuse. Of course, world poverty is rarely mentioned by terrorists, and those known to be involved have almost all been well fed and are well to do.

We were not going to liberate, release those terrorists because of our law and because of our national security and also the regional security.

When people cross from side to side, terrorists cross, and weapons pass, too, ... That's what worries us. And this could have been avoided.

We worry about terrorists in our country. The bullied child walks into school every day knowing his terrorist is there.

We should improve our intelligence about what terrorists are doing in this area, but we shouldn't panic. I think the threat is quite small.

We shouldn't need another wake-up call. We believe that the terrorists will strike again; so does every responsible expert that we have talked to. And if they do, and these reforms that might have prevented such an attack have not been implemented, what will our excuse be?

We should pass the U.N.'s Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. At least it will clearly establish whom you view as a terrorist and whom you don't. We need to delink terrorism from religion - to isolate terrorists who use this interchange of arguments between terrorism and religion.

To those who pit Americans against immigrants, citizens against non-citizens, to those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve,

We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy ... not for the real reason: because the Arab Muslims who attacked us hate our Middle Eastern foreign policy.

To me, terrorists should not be able to hide behind their passports and their citizenship, and that includes U.S. citizens, whether they are overseas or whether they are here in the United States. What we need to do is to apply the appropriate tool and the appropriate response.

What the terrorists have done has caused us to take an assessment of what's important, ... I have been concerned for too long about a culture that says if it feels good just go ahead and do it. I believe that this nation is strong enough, and focused enough, and dedicated enough to usher in a culture that says each of us is responsible for the decisions we make in life.

We have no idea who were coming over. There was no screening done by immigration authorities before these people came into the United States. There could have been drug dealers, terrorists and God knows who coming in those boats, cars and trains.

Biometrics not only accurately identifies and cross-checks travelers and potential terrorists before they enter our countries, but they also provide increased travel document security and important personal identity protections.

Drug traffickers benefit from the paramilitary skills, the access to weapons and links to other clandestine groups that terrorists can provide. Terrorists, for their part, gain a source of revenue and expertise in money laundering from drug traffickers,

As I detail in my new book: 'Hard Measures, How Aggressive CIA Actions After 9/11 Saved American Lives,' there are many myths surrounding the detention of a relatively small number of top terrorists at CIA-run 'black sites' from 2002 until they were sent to Guantanamo Bay in 2006.

At the beginning, because the lives of the hostages were at stake, then during this silent period we have taken several measures like not accepting the ultimatum of the terrorists threatening to kill our foreign affairs minister.

As terrorists adapt to the measures we have taken, we too, are adapting, and have put increased focus on the threats posed by improvised explosive devices, a frequent weapon of choice for terrorists.

Israel is not facing just the terrorists Hamas and Hezbollah. Those criminal groups are merely proxies for the real masters of terror, Syria and Iran.

The United States is holding hundreds of suspected terrorists in prisons at Guantanamo and elsewhere. Many are locked up indefinitely. They have not been tried or even charged with any crime.

The time has come for President Obama to formally rescind his order to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and end his irresponsible allegations of injustices at the facility, which operates in a framework that respects the rule of law, keeps terrorists off American soil, and bolsters our national security.

It would be grave mistake, I think, to talk only in terms of attacks on terrorists and not to think about consequences for ordinary people,

the world the terrorists would like to impose on the rest of us.

Yes, you have some have some complainers in the Congress, but we voted to send our soldiers to this effort. Nobody else authorized you to go; we voted to support it, ... And I would also note that terrorists aren't happy with you either.

You cannot defend against terrorists by hunkering down, ... You simply must go after them. That is the only proper defense is an offense.

While there are no indications that terrorists are planning similar attacks in the United States in the near term, we have asked train and rail operators in the country to be on a heightened state of alert,

While we can never fully eliminate the possibility that terrorists will strike against us, we are doing our utmost to ensure the security of our forces so they can carry out their important missions at minimum risk.

We're in a better position to prevent an attack by terrorists on an airplane, that's for sure, ... But then again, we were in a better position after 50 minutes (on Sept. 11, 2001) to defend it, just by virtue of people in the plane ? the last plane ? knowing what was happening and taking the plane down rather than allowing the terrorists to fly the plane into the Capitol.

The terrorist attacks of September 11th did far more than destroy the World Trade Center, damage the Pentagon, and leave a scar in the heartland of Pennsylvania.The terrorists struck at the heart of business and industry, and no industry was hit harder than the tourism industry, the lifeblood of Nevada.

The terrorists are testing our will and resolve in Iraq. If we fail that test the consequences for the safety and security of the American people would be enormous,

The terrorists came to believe that they could strike America without paying any price,

The terrorists haven't won, and we should tell them in plain English, 'No, there will never be a mosque at Ground Zero.'

The struggle against terrorists in the territory of Syria should be structured in cooperation with the Syrian government, which clearly stated its readiness to join it.

The Sept. 11 commission report stated that our biggest failure was one of 'imagination.' No one imagined that terrorists would do what they did on Sept. 11. Today few Americans can conceive of the possibility that terrorists could bring our society to its knees by destroying everything we rely on that runs on electricity. But this time we've been warned, and we'd better be prepared to respond.

These cold-blooded assassins and domestic terrorists should remain in jail for the rest of their lives.

The program was created to protect the transportation industry and close a potential door to terrorists. We want to force terrorists to look elsewhere.

It would be an absolute victory for terrorists ... if we stopped doing our job in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world,

What happened today was the act of cowards. Often people who do these things scurry back into the gutters they came from.

We say that London is open for business. If we don't do that, then the terrorists will have won and that's not what we want,

This guy in another country also dictatorial, but he's our dictator.'

We all think of the movie scenarios - the kinds of things that we would expect to see in a movie plot. Terrorists sneaking a bomb into the Super Bowl, for example.

We all accept that there is a compelling need for more effective powers to exclude and remove suspected terrorists from our country,

This not only opens the door for insurgents to permanently renounce violence and join the political process in order to stabilize Iraq, it also isolates the terrorists who are the enemy of all Iraqis, while setting the stage for the emergence of a strong and independent Iraq.

We do not want terrorists or drug dealers crossing the frontier, either. We have to look for a way to help those people who have been living here for many years.

We are obviously seeing a major onslaught by the terrorists on Baghdad and some other Iraqi cities.
