- President George W. Bush announced the creation of the Office of Homeland Security during an address to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001, nine days after the 9/11 terror attacks. "Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated," Bush said.

It is absolutely wild to see so many members of this house that are still serving today. The war on terror has not aged well, and neither have many of these members of congress.
We need term limits
As lomg as we have democrats the enemy will always be near
@@noahpatterson5667you must realize that when a two party country is breaking down, it’s not just the fault of one party. It’s foolish and naive to believe that only one party is destroying America. The sooner you realize this, the sooner people will vote moderates in. It is the far left and far right that is destroying this country. The only reason we get stuff done is because of the center right and center left
And it is still happening today's society not all presidents stick to their promise of their words the only two presidents that i know of is john f kennedy and ronald reagan not a single damn kids in this generation will know or understand pearl harbor and 9/11 is considered to be the worst attacks in our country since george washington and the american revolutionary war also george w bush had to face one of his many threats since then president lincoln so all these events we face is the fact it will be a history repeat event is the only way for us as a country unite thats where and what i believe since post 9/11 are we safe since then i will always say it hell no we are not and older generations know that what has happened once will happen again and i predicted that many years ago i mean damn even before covid
@@noahpatterson5667Oh put a sock in it. Over half the people in America are Democrat, fellow Americans. It’s far political leaning persons like yourself that are the real problem in this country. If you’re not somewhere in the middle zone,then you’re part of the problem and not part of the solution, regardless of what political party you vote for. Find middle ground!

Sad to believe this was the last time America was united
I think you saw a fair amount of it during isis as well, notably when Paris was attacked. That was more so western unity than America specifically though
The last time was when Osama was killed.

@@figaro-dg5c5 when they knew for certain that 9/11 was a false flag event ? I think even before Bush did such a poor job telling the lie that most knew demolitions when they saw them . See the discomfort on Laura Bush’s face during this clip. She knew her man couldn’t lie straight in bed , never mind before the whole nation
This was indeed the speech that made me decide that the Marines was my only path after high school. I had to wait two more years but that's exactly the path I took
I am an Air Force veteran and was serving with my local sheriff's office during the attacks, I want to express my thanks for you serving in the Marines!!
I couldn't imagine being manipulated so easily
Thank you for your service sir
Thank you for choosing to defend our country.

One of the most powerful statement from the Head of state in America.
GET YOUR MDICATION REVIEWED
@@MrDaiseymay Medication...
So this head of state and his administration accused Iraq has WMD, right??
you should travel more ignant
Someone loves spelling , give u a big sticker
He's not reading no script. Absolute perfection in one of this nation's darkest hours.
May be you have never heard of a teleprompter. Its right infront of him
@@musanalawrence140 lol exactly. Sorry but Bush was no public speaking guru.
The fact that he said this without reading shows the confidence of his leadership. I miss the days wen we had real leadership.
He wasn't a leader ..Cheney n him Did it
He was reading……..
He was reading from a teleprompter, it's a clear device. He also attacker Iraq (Saddam Hussein) who Biden Laden hated and hated Bin Landen but Cheney had money making in mind with Halliburton. Having said that, Bush was a 1000% better than Trump who is a con-artist and a fascist. Bush can't stand Trump and is friends with the Clintons and Obama's. Tells you how far the Republican party has slide down the road toward being a cult of personality, Trump's.
He is reading though.
Whatever you think of the man politically, he was thr leader we needed in the immediate hours and days following. For solely carrying such a task on his shoulders not only for the country but for the world, he should be praised.
He was certainly the leader...of the attacks
One of the last great presidents for sure. There is no doubt whether he was so intelligent to fool the entire nation or smart enough to lead it. He was one of the greatest United States Presidents of all time.
@@rellikskuppin7417he is a great leader no question ⁉️ about that
@rellikskuppin7417 He was a war criminal and his VP was the reason why we got into these bogus wars and lying to the American people about weapons of mass destruction and also the one that caused the recession in 08.. And whose to say that 9/11 wasn't an inside job? He wasn't a leader, he was a war hawk.. Hell his dad was part of the CIA! He's the one that started killing the United States with inflation.. His VP and himself were big oil men, before these bogus wars gas was $1.90 then went us as high as $5
Funny how we are seduced to worship these warmongerers. In Norway Jens Stoltenberg did this exactly same thing after Utøya and gave an amazing unifying speech, but then he goes on and bombs Libya without any further ado and becomes head of NATO🙄

As a 2003 kid it’s really bizarre to see this part of american history. so close to my life but it’s a still story to me and seems much farther away that it was. Odd how perception works that way. God bless the people who died that day.
You're 8 years younger than me, yet you're a world away. The trauma of that day is relived by those who experienced it every day.
As someone born at the beginning of the Vietnam War; or should I say our direct involvement in it and who remembers the assassinations of MLK and RFK, this part of American history seems like just yesterday to me.
Exactly same here I was born in 2003 and feels bizarre and it’s like I know how 2001 felt like.
Yeah my girlfriend was born in 2003 and perceives 9/11 so differently... I was too young to really remember the gravity of the situation but definitely grew up in a different world than the one I was born in so I could feel a difference. It's interesting to get a different perspective of that time.
@@Mattdude411 I think it's a shame that your generation does not remember the way the country was pre 9/11. Before all the suspicion and distrust and all the 'high security presence' at every large event. My late father told me it wasn't even anywhere near that bad after Pearl Harbor, which he remembered well. It's not healthy psychologically to grow up in a climate of fear.
I am a Democrat and was not a George W. Bush fan yet I realized on the day he made this speech that he was a decent man and certainly a man wise enough to choose advisors and speech writers to communicate his faith in US citizens and his respect what we as Americans believe. It was nonpartison
And it represented the dignity of our people and our country. What a difference in what we are experiencing now with no dignity, and separation of values within our country. I remain a Democrat but thank god we're able, or should be, to accept diversity and differences.
Do you support Biden? 💀
A reminder of what we once were.
A country united to go to war for the next 20 years? I'm sure we'll return to it soon again and again. Nothing has changed.
Right, a country that could get anything done. (Democrat speaking here)
notice how the democrats and republicans clapped for the president back then? A man who can inspire unity, atleast in congress. A man, whom both parties listened out to, who gave them a chance. Now its no such thing. This filibustering and ITS ONLY ME OR NOTHING, mentality is driving us apart.@@michaelbismarckii9139
Modern-day Rome. It will fall. Empires always do.
America will ALWAYS come together after tragedies like September 11th 2001. If there is another one. We will all go. I'm 30 and if it is in the next 2 years in going.
ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL SPEECHES
Yea I wonder who wrote it?
@@retroguy9494your probably some person so un happy to live in America but just won’t leave 😴

@@retroguy9494 him being a coke-head i doubt it was he
@@thatone4G Correction. Not unhappy to live here. Unhappy with some of the things that are going on currently perhaps. I was raised by greatest and silent generations and the attitude was very much 'we.' Meaning we are all in it together. There was compromise and people helped one another. Thanks, in great part, to MY generation, there is too much division and to much self interest.
But why should I leave? My family has been here since the mid 1600's and helped BUILD this country. My 6th great grandfather served in the Continental Congress and my 5th great grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War. My own father was a World War II veteran. Just what did YOUR family do that gives you the right to make such a statement to me?
It was a powerful speech

One of the best presidential speeches. Real leadership with moral clarity.
We need this today
Especially tonight
What? systematically orchestrated invasions of sovereign nations based on a self-inflicted terror attack? Or the delivery of a sociopathic speech that followed?
Another 9/11 scale attack just for another big talk speech like this?
so you need lies and more lies. this speech was nothing more than a lie.
So I guess you'd like another attack? Let through by a "leader" who refused to read or take action on the PDB intel he was given? Yeah .. no thanks.
Audience did 90 squats
It's a time that feels like forever ago when all the world loved America. And we were united as a people And country🇺🇸💪💯
I bet all the living presidents and first ladies at the time were watching this on television, it was a time of confusion and sorrow but also a time of great encouragement and leadership.
Beautiful! Strong statement of national Unity! God bless America 🇺🇸
Yet looking for WMD was a money game................
Huh
God don’t care about America
It’s insane how fast everyone was to react to try and start a war with Iraq and coming to conclusions so early on. Iraq and alqueda were two separate entities and the congress then should’ve known better
Oh they knew better
We were the ones who armed and trained al qaeda... It was all planned!
It was about oil😂
dont u see in their faces the grief and sorrow just nine days after the attacks??
It's almost as if it was all a planned excuse to go to war with Iraq and Afghanistan.
I was nearly 5 months old when 9/11 happened. It's bizarre to watch this 22 years later
Thanks for coming friend 🤠
American has no truer friend than Briton 👍🏻
This was such a great speech 👏👏 from a brilliant leader
I always been with your GWB!!! "CLAPPING " 👏 🙌 👌
It’s easy to look at this in hindsight and judge but at the time it was an attack that required a response. It wasn’t the going to war that was wrong, there had to be a response to make an example of someone, it was the way the war itself progressed, it lost sight of 9/11 and any retaliation and became an overreaching excuse to stamp authority where authority wasn’t realistic and the desired change was impossible.
People that weren’t alive have no idea of the uncertainty that existed in the aftermath of an attack people had never anticipated.
Even if there was intelligence that one may take place no one foresaw it happening on such an emphatic level, terrorists were using car bombs and explosives incapable of bringing walls down, there was nothing on this scale and however you look at it there hasn’t been since.
If you do nothing it happens again, go to war and risk many things going wrong, or being judged negatively.
The War failed because nobody planned for the longevity and the longevity was a result of not stopping when a plan says to stop.
Easy to judge when you look back, impossible to anticipate when you’re looking forward.
which war failed?
Only a fool would say iraq and Afghanistan was anything but a failure
@@Sfcfan120 failure is a big word in that context. so what is failure as defined then?
@@gavinmc5285It's answered in the original comment. Failure is not stopping when the plan (or common sense) says you need to stop. I would add that appointing an ex- President's son as a new president also invites failure especially in a country like USA which proclaims and preaches the virtues of meritocracy to the world. One of the greatest deterrents for attacks is fear of retaliation. But when you appoint an unqualified individual to the most powerful role and give signals of nepotism tolerance, you lose that fear and invite problems.
@@sreethoz well, yes, yet the global war on terror hasn't stopped even if the use of war as an instrument of policy has (for the 🇺🇸🇬🇧 coalition) been effectively discontinued in both 🇮🇶 and 🇦🇫.
So crazy. Especially to think Lisa Beamer, wife of Todd was there 9 days after 9/11
. So many raw emotions
และขอขอบคุณทุกท่านมากเลยครับ
What an articulate man !
It doesn't matter how shrouded in conspiracy these events are, which did happen, or whether you are on the left or the right. There's no denying. This was one of the most beautiful representations of American fortitude we have seen. May we all remember that justice always prevails over the dark mysteries that surround us, and nothing can suppress We The People.
Back when we were all Americans and were proud of our country, but now we only have divisions of Red and Blue, Conservative and Liberals. Corrupt politicians rule Congress and don’t do their job as legislators. This is not the same country that I served in the US Navy as a Retired Naval Submariner. It is troubling that we have fallen so far in our values and basic decency
Then run for President and change things.
@@ogadamesoesq.6917 I am but one man and my ability to change things is not possible as long as the other 534 corrupt criminals in Congress remain in office change is not possible
Lol you think America will ever stop being corrupt try again buddy.
Is THAT what you think?????? I suggest your read the Supreme Court case of Bush V. Gore and pay particular attention to what the late Justice John Paul Stevens said about it.
You may also want to read up on guys like Newt Gingrich and his 'contract with America.'

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld did not reveal that the Pentagon had lost $2.3 trillion the day before the September 11, 2001, attacks. The DoD had mentioned this number, which reflects transactions that could not be tracked, more than a year earlier.
Donald Rumsfeld gave on Sept. 10, 2001, about the Pentagon’s business practices.
“The technology revolution has transformed organizations across the private sector,” Rumsfeld said at one point. “But not ours, not fully, not yet. We are, as they say, tangled in our anchor chain. Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.”
Did that matter with all lives lost that day how about that all who died kids lost family’s other nations how about that all anyone thinks of is money politics what about all who died
You believe everything you read huh? Anything to fit your flawed conspiracy theories.
So you are saying that US Debt which in 2001 stood (after Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Great Depression impacts, Korean and Vietnam Wars) was only $3.3Tn then incurred a $2.3Tn loss? Poppycock.
sounds like a financial scandal of the highest order. unfortunately, i have to report that Secretary Rumsfeld is no more. i'm sorry to be the bearer of this news to you if you were previously unaware, as it may mean that your allegation might still remain unproven for yet more time. in the meantime, thank you for raising this matter. your input is appreciated and your patience commended. i'm sure this matter will be investigated speedily and forthwith and with the utmost urgency.

I sat in 7th grade history class when the world trade centers collapsed, my mother came to pick me and my brother up shortly afterward. She wasn’t sure what to do, it was televised on every channel. I can remember how upset everyone was, no matter the political party, and the unity that we displayed in the weeks afterward. While we didn’t find weapons of mass destruction in the end, we also didn’t have the benefit of hindsight in 2001. The people who were responsible are nothing more than an obituary, and for that I am grateful they can never attempt anything like 9/11 again. God bless the United States of America.
And then he lied to us and got us in a stupid war which is the reason he has to hide and only comes out for funerals
If you think Bush was the reason we went into Iraq that’s wayyy over simplified to the point where it’s just a lie. Go do some more background research, there were a lot of liars trying to convince Bush of that war. I’m gonna blame the people that were supposed to honestly advise him, not bush himself
Bush 41 and Bush 43 were/are Freemasons
There were many reasons we went to war, not just "because nukes." Educate yourself, then talk.
God blessed the world

Question as a Canadian, it was relatively surprising that he calls out so many nations, including having British PM there, but their closest (by proximity and trade) partner wasn't mentioned.
Did Canada not step up quite as much as we should have? Just an unintentional omission on the basis of "you can't call out everyone"?
Not upset, just curious of the circumstances.
Canada only agreed to send a few n.g. units and the p.m. of Canada said it's not their war to fight. Even though you can throw a rock from the trade center and land it in Canada
Everyone looks different to me and there’s unity in the house
What did you expect? Look at the speech Woodrow Wilson gave asking Congress to declare war in World War I or FDR's speech after Pearl Harbor. In times like these, Congress puts its differences aside. It's good politics.
Remember weapons of mass destruction?
There was none
Do you know the facts?
I seriously doubt it , you’re just regurgitating a viewpoint maybe do a little research.
George W Bush was without any doubt the best US President in American history and he was a master orator when spoke out during a state of the union speech or from the White House and he wasn't afraid to speak out against his enemies from different countries like Iraq and Iran. And he knew people from the different political side who disagreed with him but he didn't badmouth them and he didn't perpetuate lies about them either.
Revisionist history. He will forever go down as one of the worst.
