As we remember 9-11, let us not forget those who attacked us. And let us not loose our resolve to — however we can, however we need to, abiding by our values and code — to make sure it does not happen again.
There is legitimate debate as of late — as there always should be — on how to proceed with respect to Afghanistan. We should always have debate on such topics. But let us not loose sight on the objective, that of disabling and dismantling Al-Qaeda. They are the ones that attacked us, and it’s them and their affiliates that pose a legitimate threat to the United States.
Again, remember the anger you felt on this day and reaffirm your resolve to make sure no one has to live through such an event again. I know I do.
