Answer:
Option D. A complete an correct summary
of that specific part of the speech would
be: Though we don't yet known when the
war will end, it will end, and we will win.
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.
