Good afternoon, Raoul.

I see it's gettin' a little warm around here.

Transcript of Presidential Address to a Joint Session of Congress, Thursday evening, September 20, 2001 (part2 1 & 2)

The statement in question is located toward the end of part 2, and is quoted in its full paragraph as:
"I will not forget the wound to our country and those who inflicted it. I will not yield, I will not rest, I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people. The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them."

I don't see the term "crusade" mentioned, and I'm relatively certain his writers will attempt to keep that word from ever appearing during this joint-forces endeavor. Where did the word "crusade" crop up?

Anyway, President Bush's earlier speeches on the subject can also be taken the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh'a Social Sciences Department, "Resources on Terrorist Attack on America."

I can find no reference to a speech made the previous Sunday (9/16/01), and I'm pretty sure that all comments are directed toward Thursday's address to Address to the Joint Session of Congress.
