Today, it has been almost six years since the attacks of 9/11, and we still haven't realistically confronted the threat posed by the irreconcilable wing of Islam. In comparison, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it took us less then four years to defeat Italy, Germany and Japan. In less than four years, we built a two-ocean navy, put 15,500,000 men and women in uniform, produced more than 50,000 aircraft a year (and more than 100,000 armored vehicles in 1944 alone) and built the most expensive project, the B-29, and the second most expensive project, the atomic bomb.
Today, NASA has a plan to take 30 years to get to Mars while spending hundreds of billions of dollars. In comparison, it took precisely 6 years, 10 months and 8 days from President John F. Kennedy's first commitment to go to the Moon to the first landing.
Today, building a fifth runway at the Atlanta Airport took 23 years. In comparison, in 1931, the Empire State Building took 1 year, 3 months and 9 days from groundbreaking to completion."

"We are in an emerging third world war.
Our enemies are serious, dedicated, and tough.
They mean to kill us and destroy our civilization if they can.
They cooperate with each other in a serious effort to find ways to weaken us, exhaust us and defeat us.
If the American people and their leaders come to understand these facts they will insist on victory.
As the most successful mobilizer of human creativity in history there is no inherent reason the United States cannot win this war once we realize we are in it.
Four hundred years ago next May the first people who spoke English and believed their rights came from God landed in Jamestown.
For four hundred years we have been extending their values and concepts across a continent and to people of every background speaking every language.
We are on the edge of an era of scientific change which will enable the most entrepreneurial country in the world to have an explosion of new productivity, new solutions, new health, and new freedom.
We owe it to those who worked and fought for freedom, safety and prosperity in the past and to our parents and grandparents who did so much for our lives.
We owe it to our children and grandchildren who deserve an even safer, freer and more prosperous American future.
We owe it to our own self respect.
We who love life and revere freedom will defeat those who love death and seek dictatorship.
We have done it before.
We will do it again."
