In an interview with Bob Woodward earlier this year, President Obama said, “We can absorb a terrorist attack. We’ll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever. … WE ABSORBED IT A AND WE ARE STRONGER.”
President Obama told Woodward: “We can absorb a terrorist attack. We’ll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever…WE ABSORBED IT AND WE ARE STRONGER.”
“We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger,” Obama said.

“For each CI/KR [critical infrastructure and key resources] sector, we must collectively work to ensure the ability of power, communications, and other life sustaining systems to survive an attack by terrorists, a natural disaster, and other assessed risks or hazards. In the past, investments in redundant and duplicative infrastructure were used to achieve this objective."
"WE MUST NOW FOCUS ON THE RESILIENCE OF THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE---AN APPROACH THAT CENTERS ON INVESTMENTS THAT MAKE THE SYSTEM Better Able To Absorb The Impact Of An Event Without Losing The Capacity To Function.”

By the by, here's a Dick Cheney flashback:
Recall, During a 2002 appearance on "Meet the Press," Dick Cheney — the former vice president of the United States — told Meet the Press’s Tim Russert in 2002 that another terrorist attack was “almost a certainty.” He added it that it was only a matter of time before the U.S. got hit again: "The prospect of another attack against the United States is very, very real," adding that it was "not a matter of if, but when."
Vice President DICK CHENEY:
"The prospect of another attack against the United States is very, very real. It’s just as real, in my opinion, as it was September 12."
TIM RUSSERT, NBC News:
"Not a matter of if, but when?"
Vice President DICK CHENEY:
"NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN."
