September 11, 2001
Eleven years ago this past week, on September 11, 2001 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked. The attack eleven years ago on the island of Manhattan, Northern Virginia and an airliner over Pennsylvania caused severe damage to America. Very many American lives were lost.
Our enemies have again undertaken a surprise offensive. The facts of this past week speak for themselves. The people of the United States have formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated attack, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
Hostilities continue to exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.
Of course many of you recognize that I have manipulated President Franklin Roosevelt's December 8, 1941 speech. I did this in order for it to address the attack 60 years later on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93, as well as the continuing violence directed toward Americans including attacks this very week in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and elsewhere. I did this to remind us of what we sometimes forget.
We forget that, in addition to the nearly 3,000 deaths and multitudes of injuries just as we suffered at Pearl Harbor, our nation has now permanently lost its sense of security. We forget this when we yield to the politically correct instead of common sense. We forget this when we grant not only equal, but special treatment to those who want to destroy us. To our enemies and, especially, to ourselves I say, "Let us forget no longer. Let our determination be unbounding and let us persevere until we have achieved absolute victory. Let us fight like it's 1941."
