Remarks on Departure From Toledo,
October 29, 2004

Al Jazeera Videotape of Usama bin Laden

Earlier today I was informed of the tape that is now being analyzed by America’s intelligence community. Let me make this very clear: Americans will not be intimidated or influenced by an enemy of our country. I’m sure Senator Kerry agrees with this.

I also want to say to the American people that we’re at war with these terrorists, and I am confident that we will prevail.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Note: The President spoke at 5:53 p.m. at Toledo Express Airport. A tape was not available for verification of the content of these remarks. This item was not received in time for publication in the appropriate issue.
