Terror Attacks in Russia part of Global War on Terror

September 7, 2004
Today, U.S. Congressman made the following remarks from the House Floor: "Mr. Speaker, last week the world watched in horror as militant terrorists murdered hundreds of Russian schoolchildren. No one can doubt that we are in a full scale Global War on Terror. Since September 11th, the terrorists have attacked in Tunis, Karachi, Bali, Jakarta, Casablanca, Bombay, Mombassa, Najaf, Riyadh, Baghdad, Istanbul, Madrid, and continued the campaign of terror against Israel," said Congressman Wilson.Image removed.

We can no longer simply grieve for the victims of these evil acts; we must join together and defeat the terrorists before they can strike again. This is why President George W. Bush has brought together allies to liberate millions from terrorist-sponsoring regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. Together with our allies, we are making major arrests of terrorists throughout the world, cutting off their financial assets, and increasing our intelligence capabilities."We must realize that this war cannot be won overnight: it requires perseverance and steadfastness. Yet, in the end freedom and liberty will triumph over extremist hatred."In conclusion, may God bless our troops and we will never forget September 11th," said Congressman Wilson.###
