<snip>
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

And as for not calling it a terror attack by a terror organization... why would you want to tip your hand to your enemy that you know who they are, and that you're coming for them?
