President George W. Bush speaks to a Marine at the FBI Academy at Marine Corps Base Quantico Monday. Bush gave a speech on his policy for the global war on terrorism during which he called last week’s bombings in London “an attack on the civilized world.” “We will defend our freedom,” he said. “We will not yield. Terror will be defeated by the unstoppable power of freedom and democracy.”

“Today we are fighting a global war on terror, and here at Quantico you're training and retraining for a critical mission, and that's to defend our homeland,” said President George W. Bush in a speech at the FBI Academy here Monday.
“Your work is difficult; it is dangerous. I want you to know how much your country appreciates you, and so do I,” he added to an audience of Marines, FBI officials and first responders.
Bush expressed the nation’s and its allies’ resolve in the face of terrorism.
"In the face of such adversaries, there is only one course of action -- we will continue to take the fight to the enemy, and we will fight until this enemy is defeated."
This was Bush’s first speech since the London attacks July 7.
“In London last Thursday, terrorists killed dozens of commuters and wounded hundreds more. Americans know what it's like to be attacked on our own soil. Our hearts go out to the many innocent people in London who suffered terrible injuries, and we pray for the families mourning the loss of loved ones. In this difficult hour, the people of Great Britain can know the American people stand with you.”
"The attack on London was an attack on the civilized world, and the civilized world is united in its resolve. We will not yield, we will defend our freedom."
Bush’s speech also included a progress report on the war on terror. The White House said the address was planned before the bombings in London, but the deadly attacks gave his remarks even more significance.
Bush also thanked the Marines for their service.
“Quantico is also known as the ‘Crossroads of the Corps.’ In the war on terror, the Marines are serving with valor and distinction. You helped liberate 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, you stand between the American people and the worst dangers in the world. In this war, the ‘Marines will fight’, in the words of the Rifleman's Creed, ‘until victory is America's, and there is no enemy.’ America is grateful to have the United States Marine Corps defending our freedom. I want to thank you for your courage and your sacrifice.”
Bush on also called on Congress to extend provisions of the Patriot Act that are set to expire at year's end.
The Patriot Act allows federal officials greater authority to track and intercept communications, for both law enforcement and foreign intelligence gathering purposes. It also seeks to tighten U.S. borders against foreign terrorists and detain those already within the country. More than a dozen provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire.
“The terrorist threats against us will not expire at the end of this year, and neither should the protections of the Patriot Act."
Bush warned of a tough fight ahead in the war against terrorism.
“There will be difficult moments along the path to victory. The terrorists know they can't defeat us on the battlefield. The only way the terrorists can win is if we lose our nerve - this isn't going to happen on my watch."
