Sophia – US History II – Milestone 4 Final 1 Read the excerpt from an address to Congress made by President George W. Bush articulating the Bush Doctrine in 2001: "Our response involves far m... ore than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign unlike any other we have ever seen. . . We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place until there is no refuge or no rest.
