And I also want to thank hundreds of our fellow Americans who lined the road coming in from the helicopter pad. It's really good to be here in California to report on our progress in the struggle against terror. Now, there's the long version and there's a short version. So I'm going to start with the short version. Our people are united, our government is determined, our cause is right and justice will be done.</s>BUSH: Thank you all.</s>AARON BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: President George W. Bush in Sacramento, California. A speech that had been put on the schedule as a routine economic matter, but that was some time ago. It clearly was anything but routine, the president devoting almost the entire speech to a discussion of the war on terrorism, familiar lines now. Many of them coming directly from the speech the president gave to Congress, now several weeks ago. "We will not falter, we will not fail," he said. "Our cause is right. We will have justice." He referred to al Qaeda as the al Qaeda parasites. We hadn't heard him use that expression before, but he frequently called them the evil ones and the evildoers, and that is something he's been saying a lot. On the economy, the president said that the basics are there for growth, but the economy has been shocked. He praised bipartisanship and unity in the country. He said the terrorists -- I hear that, I wondered what it was -- tried to break our resolve, but they are powerless to stop this new unity.
