This terrorist event was a deliberate attempt to harm the fabric of relations among all Israeli citizens,

This terrorist enemy knows we cannot be defeated by him, but he is focused on winning the battle of perception by attacking civilians to spread fear among local populations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The terrorists' goal is to win the perception battle and to force us to lose our will to win.

We are aware of the serious terrorist problem in the region but it is a much wider problem than just a security issue.

We have every reason to believe that this terrorist organization will try to hurt other Americans,

We do not think a serious terrorist challenge is emanating from Afghanistan.

Even that does not suggest that there cannot be a terrorist event somewhere, someplace in the world and I suspect there will be,

Every single terrorist event we've had, and the failed ones we've had, there usually are foreign connections, even though the cannon fodder may be home grown.

A total of 1,580 people, the civilian population, suffered as a result of the bloody wave of terrorist acts that swept over Moscow and other towns and villages of our country.

At the moment we do not see a concrete terrorist threat to our country and in particular to the Olympic Games. But we believe an attack in Italy, like in any other country, is possible.

The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks seem to have had little impact on the factory sector so far. However, many industries have already reported further production cuts as demand has waned. A more substantial contraction is expected next month.

These provisions of the USA Patriot Act are essential to our efforts in the war on terrorism, and their loss will damage our ability to prevent terrorist attacks. Our nation cannot afford to let these important counter-terrorism tools lapse.

These facts are in direct conflict with my ability as a governor to prepare for disaster or domestic terrorist attacks, we need a commitment from the federal government that the equipment that is left in Iraq will be replaced in quick order,

These conditions are nonnegotiable. It is not whether there will be a short-term cease-fire or a long-term cease-fire. It is not whether they want to eliminate us now or if they will wait 20 years to do it. A democratic victory does not provide legitimacy or a quick dry-cleaning service to a terrorist organization.

The stakes are very high, ... We're telling our American friends: 'We can do it together. We can do Baghdad together. We can do Iraq together. We, the Iraqi people together with the American liberators and the British liberators, we can achieve the task of getting rid of Saddam Hussein and his terrorist allies.'

The terrorist attacks in London sadly remind us that the enemies of freedom do not hesitate to target innocent people simply going about their lives.

The terrorist attacks are going to make a bad situation even worse.

Prevention is always better than cure and that applies not only in health but it also applies in terrorism. You can't cure terrorism, you can't bring somebody back to life after they've been killed by a terrorist and therefore laws which are designed to anticipate and to prevent a terrorist act are laws that Australians should support, and I believe most Australians will support these laws.

Say another terrorist turned up in London, Bin Laden ... and he were to announce that new terrorist attacks were forthcoming against civilian sites in the United States,

Putting a facility packed with radioactive material at Hawai'i's main airport, in the middle of urban Honolulu, and in a tsunami evacuation zone is almost asking for a natural disaster, air crash or terrorist attack.

Northern Command's mission to protect the homeland against foreign threats is separate and distinct from its mission to provide support to civil agencies in the event of a terrorist attack of catastrophic proportions. So part of the confusion you're seeing is the natural shaking-out process as the Defense Department stands up a new command and adopts a new mission that most generals assumed with great reluctance in the first place, given that their forces and budgets were already stretched thin. In that sense, Admiral Keating's comments were probably less about someone gunning to take the lead, and more a reflection of how much support Northern Command will likely be asked to provide in the event of a real catastrophe.

The ones who really understand what I am saying are the terrorists, and they are cheering because we are letting them set up an independent terrorist base (in Gaza),

Some serious gaps presently exist, ... They are not presently coordinated either to protect, prevent or respond to a major terrorist attack.

Oil prices could be a worry. We're not at the stage of a serious rise (in oil prices), so the impact is not so great yet, but the worry of more terrorist attacks is there.

Oil & Gas was the only sub-component to decline last month. Rising 'geopolitical risk premiums' for light crude oil - linked to recent unrest in Nigeria and international tensions over Iran's decision to resume nuclear research - were more than offset by sharply lower natural gas and propane prices - the result of exceptionally warm winter weather in key U.S. heating oil markets. A foiled late-February terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia has bolstered the risk premium in oil prices.

Despite terrorist events around the world, rising oil prices and a lukewarm job market, consumer spending has remained fairly strong, much better than many would have thought. But if the economic data starts to slow and oil rises above $60 a barrel, that could eat into consumer spending.

Approaching five years after 9/11, we still do not have a domestic intelligence service that can collect effectively against the terrorist threat to the homeland or provide authoritative analysis of that threat. I now doubt that the FBI, on its present course, can get there from here.

As a state-owned entity with inadequate money laundering and terrorist financing controls, the Commercial Bank of Syria poses a significant risk of being used to further the Syrian Government's continuing support for international terrorist groups. The serious risks posed by CBS have not been adequately mitigated by the Syrian Government's limited efforts to address deficiencies in Syria's financial system.

You're right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you. ... A condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs. It'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor.
