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:

    My age fallen away like white swaddling
    Floats in the middle distance, becomes
    An inhabited cloud.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    A pilgrim I on earth perplext,
    with sinns, with cares and sorrows vext,
    By age and paines brought to decay,
    and my Clay house mouldring away,
    Oh how I long to be at rest
    and soare on high among the blest!
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

    In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
