Terrorists Quotations | Page 3

Today's vote deals a severe blow to the ambitions of the terrorists and sends a clear message to the world that the people of Iraq will decide the future of their country through peaceful elections, not violent insurgency.

Today's terrorists enjoy the benefits of our free society even as they commit themselves to our destruction,

We know the terrorists cells are still active, they are still hiding, recruiting, networking, trying to find new funding and even planning for another strike.

While we have to do what is necessary to defend the country against terrorists and to win the war on terror, the president has been very clear that we're going to do that in a way that is consistent with our values and that is why he has been very clear that the United States will not torture.

We have not lessened the strength of terrorists around the world and have not lessened but have increased both the number and the fervor and the organizational capabilities of terrorists,

The pressure applied on terrorists and insurgents is having an effect,

We are innocent people, working for just 10,000 or 12,000 dinars ($7 or $8) a day. Those criminals and terrorists came and did this to us,

We are innocent people ... Those criminals and terrorists came and did this to us,

We know that after September 11, there were still terrorists around. We do get continuing information that they're intent on causing some damage and harm to not only U.S. interests but allied interests.

Those who are terrorists with their genesis in Afghanistan have a goal of creating a fundamentalist Muslim caliphate all across the Middle East.

We are adamant that democracy is going to prevail, it's going to win in iraq and this is where terrorists are trying to hurt us and trying to undermine us.

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.

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

We are glad and happy for what Pakistan is now doing on their territory to chase terrorists and to arrest them,

We recognize that Palestinians need help in consolidating security forces and training security forces that would defeat the terrorists that would like to stop the march of freedom.

We're doing this to stop the next terrorists and to take necessary steps to protect the American people,

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

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 demand from (Palestinian leader Yasser) Arafat that he arrest immediately all the terrorists who are loose now.

We don't intend here to stage a one-time action, but intend to carry out a continued action, whose aim is to hurt the terrorists and not to let up.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 will continue to work away so we have covered every inch ... of Tal Afar, until we've killed all the terrorists and foreign fighters there,

We will continue to fight against the heads of the extreme terror organizations, the ones that initiate, fund and send out terrorists in order to murder Jews, ... We will continue to act against all the enemies of peace.

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

We're trying to build and the terrorists are trying to destroy.

We keep our volunteers pretty safe in that way since there are so many domestic terrorists here that are advocating open borders,

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.

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.

This tragedy was the direct result of terrorism; hundreds of innocent people, mostly women and children, have died because of the fear and panic that terrorists are sowing in Iraq,

To say that we have provisions for getting the leadership out is to assume that we're all alive, ... What makes people assume that the terrorists are going to give us a friendly phone call and say 'You better leave town?' We will most likely have no warning if this happens, and the weapons available can destroy us. It's horrible to consider, but it's true.

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,

Without the independent commission to understand what went wrong on 9/11, we are not going to be able to fix the problems that allowed these terrorists to kill 3,000 people a year ago.

Yet, terrorists -- people who were either involved with, associated with, or are seeking to take advantage of the September 11 attacks -- are now poisoning our communities with anthrax.

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

We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts, and those who harbor them.

We will bring terrorists to justice and this is our signal to the nation and to the world of our determination to uphold national, regional, and global security,

The president of the united states has authorized spying on American citizens and these are things that need to be dealt with because in the final analysis f we surrender especially civil liberties or things that make the nation great, the terrorists have won.

The president knows where to draw the line. He has said we need to tighten the laws and measures on suspected terrorists while protecting our citizens. But he recognizes that we do not want to go down the route of the past.

The Port Authority respects the jury's findings but in this case the jury was egregiously incorrect. On February 26, 1993, the World Trade Center bombing was an act of terrorists for which terrorists alone are responsible.

The governor and I and the law enforcement community share that concern. We've shared it for a long, long time, ... It's on a list of many things that terrorists can use against us. The event in Kenya is not the first time we thought about these things.

the government must not hand the terrorists a victory by taking away long held liberties and principles of justice.

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.

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.

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.

While the terrorists are learning and adapting, our government is still moving at a crawl.

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,

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

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

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. The problem is, terrorists don't care. They don't care whether it's a football game or an airport or a restaurant or a movie theater. It doesn't matter to them.

There is no real Arab empathy with the hundreds of women and children in Iraq killed on a daily basis at the hands of criminal terrorists who come from the Arab countries -- These criminals and executioners, who consider the Shiites -- who constitute the majority in Iraq -- to be infidels, and consider the Kurds - the second largest nationality in Iraq-to be traitors, are glorified by the Arab press.

Two-bit terrorists aren't going to prevent me from doing what we need to do and that is to promote our friendship in the hemisphere, ... Our neighborhood is important to us. Peru is an important country. You bet I'm going.

Two-bit terrorists aren't going to prevent me from doing what we need to do, and that is to promote our friendship in the hemisphere, ... You bet I'm going.

This was part of our normal procedures and not as a result of demands from terrorists or criminals. We do not negotiate with terrorists or criminals.

We cannot have a time when those of us who are protesting current policies are going to be compared to terrorists or their values. We have to stand up now before we have a period of silencing all meaningful discussion in our country.

We cannot get into a situation, and I believe the family understand this, where we start bargaining with terrorists and kidnappers, because if we were to, we would not make Iraq or anywhere else safer,

unbelievably silly, because terrorists and drug dealers aren't waiting for FedEx to deliver a disk to Libya or Colombia.

To hold the Port Authority twice as liable as the terrorists for the 1993 bombing stands logic, rationality and reason on its head.

What this study makes clear is that what the President and Congress have committed so far is just a down payment on what it will take to ensure that the terrorists don't succeed in destroying not just the two towers, but also America's and the world's financial capital.

What this pandemic could do to us as a people is even more threatening than what a few terrorists could do, even a few terrorists with a nuclear device.

What happened today was the act of cowards. Often people who do these things scurry back into the gutters they came from. I can say with confidence that we will spare no effort to track down and punish those responsible. It's important for the world to know that our nation will not bow to terrorists and faceless acts of cowardice.

We will not permit a brutal dictator with ties to terrorists and a record of reckless aggression to dominate the Middle East and to threaten the United States of America.

we will never surrender to the terrorists who despise democracy and distort religion. Never.

We understand that conceding to terrorists will only endanger all members of the multinational force as well as other countries who are contributing to Iraqi reconstruction and humanitarian assistance.

We insist on these commissions finding and naming the officials responsible for the negligence that occurred. We want the whole world to learn the truth about this crime and we want the guilty to be punished. Not just the terrorists but also the officials.

We expect not really words of consolation from the Palestinian Authority and from its leader. What we expect is action. We expect action to apprehend these terrorists and their leaders. We expect action to collect the explosives and weapons that are there in the field and can be collected.

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,

We feel strongly that there is a lack of political will in Syria towards its commitments to Iraq. Regrettably, the bulk of foreign fighters and terrorists are infiltrating from Syria, and the Syrian government has not demonstrated any serious cooperation to help us stop their transit.

You either deny terrorists any acceptance in the international life, or you make your double standard policy work the way it has been working - 'I don't like that guy in this country, so we will be calling him a dictator and topple him. This guy in another country also dictatorial, but he's our dictator.'

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.

Warlords, dictators and terrorists are normally okay with the U.S., as long as they do the bidding of U.S. corporate interests.

We are a mobile, dynamic society. We depend upon open, accessible transportation systems. Terrorists know that. It's the reason they target transportation, and it's why we must stop them.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

concentrate on where terrorists are trained, on their bases, on the supply to them, on the money coming to them.

Do people put disclaimers on films when there are terrorists, and the terrorists happen to have a certain nationality? It's a film. That's all it is.

Current law could mislead terrorists into believing that by killing the President and Vice President, they could alter U.S. policy.

Conversely, terrorists who are motivated to cause violence seem to lack the capability to cause that degree of damage in cyberspace.

Ensuring the security of our global supply chain is critical to homeland security since maritime trade accounts for over 25 percent of the U.S. GDP (gross domestic product) and many experts believe that terrorists are likely to exploit the inherent vulnerabilities of the global supply chain for their nefarious purposes.

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,

Fences would be a hindrance to terrorists should they decide to come across a land border between the U.S. and Mexico and to California.

There shall be no restrictions on the use of all means to hit the terrorists and the terror organizations, their equipment and their hideouts,

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.

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.

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.

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.

They agreed on one thing for sure, that the gravest threat facing the United States is that of terrorists armed with nuclear weapons.

These are things that need to be dealt with, because in the final analysis, if we surrender our precious civil liberties, the things that make this nation great, then indeed the terrorists have won.

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