George W Bush 9/11 Speech Analysis

On the website, http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/previous.htm there are many interesting articles; however, the one that stuck out for me was given by George W. Bush. He is responding to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center September 11th 2001. President Bush’s speech was primarily opinion because he was describing how he felt, although some facts were stated about the attack. President Bush stated in his speech, “On September 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country. Americans have known wars, but for the past 136 years they have been wars on foreign soil, except for one Sunday in 1941. Americans have known the causalities of war, but not at the center of a great city on a peaceful morning.”
