Terrorists Quotations | Page 5

Social media has allowed groups, such as ISIL, to use the Internet to spot and assess potential recruits. With the widespread horizontal distribution of social media, terrorists can identify vulnerable individuals of all ages in the United States - spot, assess, recruit, and radicalize - either to travel or to conduct a homeland attack.

At the same time he understood he was keeping the terrorists away from his family.

The federal government has attempted to stonewall the public's right to know, and SLDN is aggressively challenging its decisions. The Bush administration consistently tells the public that surveillance is conducted only on terrorists and Americans communicating with terrorists; yet information obtained by credible media sources indicates that it is also spying on groups that support civil rights, animal rights and the environment. To suggest those groups are terrorists is an act of modern day McCarthyism.

The Feb. 26, 1993 attack on the World Trade Center was an act of terrorists, for which terrorists alone are responsible.

I'm not so concerned about the drug issue. The situation I'm concerned about is, what about the guns? What about the terrorists using these airports as targets?

Indeed Saddam's goals have little in common with the terrorists who threaten us, and there is little incentive for him to make common cause with them.

Initially, we were told that the Israelis escaped and the terrorists were captured. We didn't learn about the disaster at the helicopters (where the hostages were killed) until much later.

In my book, I detail the critical information we obtained from al Qaeda terrorists after they became compliant following a short period of enhanced interrogation. I have no doubt that that interrogation was legal, necessary and saved lives.

I had a revelation in the fact that Palestinians are not the terrorists they are made out to be in the West, nor are they haters of Israel, ... Sometimes we don't see the Palestinian side because no one is willing to take them seriously because they have a reputation of being terrorists.

I freely admit to you that I expect that the terrorists will get more frenetic, more frantic

I oppose the deal. The issue of a foreign government with possible links to terrorists means you have to be extremely careful. And this was done without the attention of Congress or the president.

If you delay the supply chain to the extent that prices go up and the cost of doing business with America is too high, and you have several shipping companies that can't upgrade their security, then the terrorists have won.

If you remind people that terrorists are actually planning to kill us, that tends to support the case made by President Bush.

In the years since 9/11, more terrorists have been created through this President's policies than were captured or killed. There weren't any terrorists in Iraq in 2003, but there are now.

Illegal immigration is bankrupting states along the border, but this is about more than economics -- we're placing our national security at risk. Drug lords and violent gangs like MS-13 are streaming into the U.S. from Mexico. Terrorists are also walking in unopposed; our southwestern border is littered with Arabic papers and Islamic prayer rugs.

In this day and age, there is no public official or government office that wants to get caught in the situation that, following a terrorists attack, it is found out that they didn't tell folks they were supposed to tell about it. So what we have is a flood of information. Every little scrap of into that suggests there might be a threat is put out there and I think that is a mistake.

In the past two months, eight multi-national force soldiers and six coalition members have been killed by terrorists in Basra province, ... This terrorism must be stopped.

Iran is actively pursuing nuclear weapons capability and, if successful, the weapons could embolden the leadership in Tehran to advance its aggressive ambitions in and outside of the region, both directly and through the terrorists it supports.

I generally think the terrorists do something new each time. It is a big hole in the system.

I tend not to believe what the terrorists say. In the last 3.5 years there's never been a successful suicide bombing coming out of Gaza.

Iraqis will vote 'yes' to the new constitution because they know if necessary they can amend some of its articles in the future, ... Terrorists will meet their final defeat in their final battle against the people of Iraq.

by lifting road blocks and increasing freedom of movement, and the terrorists have exploited these humanitarian measures.

How can we believe that future terrorists will be detected in time?

By casting their ballots, the Iraqi people deal a severe blow to the terrorists and send a clear message to the world: Iraqis will decide the future of their country through peaceful elections, not violent insurgency,

I don't think that we should let it get in the way because that's exactly what the terrorists want to see, is us afraid,

I doubt the terrorists saw 9/11 as a teaching opportunity. And we're not really a culture geared to anything as humble as 'learning.' But I was disappointed in how quickly everyone wanted to get back to normal. It was as if we watched terrorism on TV for a while, then got bored and turned back to 'American Idol.'

I do think there's been progress in some areas. In the last four years, for example, I think the world has become a tougher place for terrorists to operate in.

I applaud the Indonesian government's determination to defeat the terrorists and I offer our full support to the people of Bali as they recover from another atrocity so soon after the 2002 attack,

I am absolutely shocked to read in the paper this morning the terrorists just got their visas yesterday. I, for the life of me, can't understand how something like that can happen,

I am not disputing the need for this money. What I am disputing and calling attention to is the fact that we are taking the tab for defense in our time against terrorists in the Middle East and elsewhere and shoving this tab off onto our children.

How many young people are being taught to go out as suicide bombers and kill people? ... How does that inflow of terrorists in the world get reduced so that the number of people being captured or killed is greater than the ones being produced?

I confirm that 12 terrorists were killed by our forces, and some others managed to escape.

I do believe it's a lot more flexible, but it ought to be done and done right, ... Often times we have to dig down and deal with terrorists or would-be terrorists, someone probably as bad as these people.

I do not - I never believed it's better to kill a terrorist than to detain him. We want to detain as many terrorists as possible so we can elicit the intelligence from them in the appropriate manner so that we can disrupt follow-on terrorist attacks.

He came with a one-point agenda of Kashmir and ... (to) call terrorists 'freedom fighters', ... All this was not acceptable to us.

The Iraqis have succeeded in drafting this constitution despite the action of terrorists who are trying to destroy the country's desire for a peaceful future,

And I believe only with a strong America will we defeat this radical group, this apocalyptic group called ISIS. That's why when I'm president we are going to rebuild our intelligence capabilities. And they're going to tell us where the terrorists are. And a rebuilt U.S. military is going to destroy these terrorists.

The elections went well because the Iraqi people have an overwhelming desire to vote. The unions of people are stronger than the handful of terrorists. And the terrorists threw everything they had into this fray, and they lost.

The document expresses great concern about our efforts to hand over sovereignty to the Iraqis. In fact, it explicitly says that once Iraqis are in control of their government, it will make it virtually impossible for the foreign terrorists to operate.

A guest worker program would be an open invitation to potential terrorists. They could enter the country legally, get a job, and use the program as cover. One of the terrorists who blew up the garage of the World Trade Center in 1993 did just that under an earlier program.

the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11.

The Dome is a metaphor that could mean anything - it could be nuclear fallout, terrorists - I've always been fascinated with stories where people's roles are flipped on their heads, be it the Wall Street guy, the techno guy, etc. All of those things are only successful when there are people and money around.

The challenge of predicting terrorism is that unlike fraud, we don't have the same volume of historical data to learn from. Compounding this is the fact that terrorists are constantly changing their methods and do their best to avoid leaving any digital footprints in the first place.

The CIA has acknowledged that it has detained about 100 terrorists since 9/11, and about a third of them have been subjected to what the CIA refers to as 'enhanced interrogation tactics,' and only a small proportion of those have in fact been subjected to the most serious types of enhanced procedures.

America will not run in defeat, and we will not forget our responsibilities. We have brought down two murderous regimes. We're driving terrorists from their sanctuaries. We're putting the terrorists on the run all across the world.

America's best defense against terrorists trying to sneak into our country is to trust the good hearts and the good sense of American citizens.

America received a call to arms Sept. 11 when terrorists hit the heart of America,

The longer Iraq's leaders delay in forming a unity government, the greater the risk that the terrorists and former regime elements will succeed in their efforts to foment division and to stop the progress of an Iraq democracy.

I was distressed that after 9/11, when the United States was attacked by terrorists, the United States' response was to attack Afghanistan, where some of the terrorists had been.
