Today, President Bush signed the Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2005. This is an important piece of legislation, as it helps establish the military budget for the year.
The President did open his remarks by recognizing the extraordinary demands placed on our servicemen and women, including those of the Guard and Reserve. He also noted that we are in a conflict different than any we have engaged in before, with a different kind of enemy. None of this is notable. However, it is what he said about America's response that is interesting.
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
