Answer:

The military has to work as hard as or harder than the terrorists.

Explanation:

The speech given by President George W. Bush on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was titled "Mission Accomplished". This speech given on May 1, 2003 was televised and revealed the end of combat operations in Iraq.

In the speech, President Bush said "the enemies of freedom are not idle" which refers to the terrorists who were the 'enemies' that attack and gave a war, not peace or freedom. So, when President Bush stated that "neither are we", he is declaring that if the terrorists work to disrupt the peace and freedom of the people, then the military would work hard, if not harder, to prevent that from happening.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

The military has to work as hard as or harder than the terrorists.
