"All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries. Many others have met a different fate. Let's put it this way, they are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies."

Right around minute 29 at this recording (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/01/20020129-11.html is the web page for the State of the Union address, including the transcript.) The written quote doesn't capture the grim cowboy expression though.

I might agree or disagree with many other points in the SotU, but this is the one that sticks with me. And it makes me ill.

Ah hell. The page I cited was in fact the first page that came up on Google, and I too listened to it for a minute before saying, "This isn't the SotU I recall," and tried the link on that page for the "state of the union home page." The page I meant to link to is
