White House Reaction

During a July 30, 2003 White House press conference, President George W. Bush was prompted for his reaction to the July 26, 2003 DHS Advisory concerning the al-Qaeda threat of suicide hijacks during the summer of 2003. President Bush stated,

The threat is a real threat...we obviously don't have specific data... al-Qaeda tends to use the methodologies that worked in the past... we're focusing on the airline industry right now and we've got reason to do so.

Famous quotes containing the words white, house and/or reaction:

    A decent chap, a real good sort,
    Straight as a die, one of the best,
    A brick, a trump, a proper sport,
    Head and shoulders above the rest;
    How many lives would have been duller
    Had he not been here below?
    Here’s to the whitest man I know
    Though white is not my favourite colour.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    When I first got here, every time you’d say “breast feeding” on the House floor there would be a snicker.... this has been happening since creation. Can we finally get a grip on it?
    Susan Molinari (b. 1958)

    Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
