Arguments of convenience lack integrity and inevitably trip you up.

The United States isn't going to do anything that it's not capable of doing. And if we do something, we'll be capable of doing it.

It is very difficult to spend "federal (the taxpayers') dollars" so that the intended result is achieved.

There are things that we know, and there are things that we don't know. Then there are the things that we don't even know that we don't know. Those are the things that are the hardest.

We'll have to deal with the networks. One of the ways to do that is to drain the swamp they live in. And that means dealing not only with the terrorists, but those who harbor terrorists. This will take a long, sustained effort. It will require the support of the American people as well as our friends and allies around the world.

America is not what's wrong with the world.

Don't 'over-control' like a novice pilot. Stay loose enough from the flow that you can observe it, modify, and improve it.
