Press Statement by Richard Boucher, Spokesman

Four-Month Anniversary of September 11 Attacks

Today marks the four-month anniversary of a day that shook America's human foundations, but also aroused in us a mighty and dauntless spirit. We will never forget those that we lost in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in rural Pennsylvania, for their spirit and the way of life that they stood for are stronger than any evil menace.

With them in mind, and cooperating with our coalition partners around the world, we have achieved a lot. At the same time, there is much more to do to rid Afghanistan of foreign terrorists, to eliminate al-Qaeda cells around the world, and to wipe out the scourge of terrorism that threatens us all.
