Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

On May 1st, 2003, President George W. Bush gave a televised speech on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The main message the President gave during his speech was that although the major combat operations in Iraq were coming to an end, the war on terror was still alive. While not yet over, the war was not going to be endless, in the President's words, and USA along the rest of the Free nations were going to end up victorious against their enemies.
