We are a caring nation, and our values should also guide us on how we harness the gifts of science. New medical breakthroughs bring the hope of cures for terrible diseases and treatments that can improve the lives of millions. Our challenge is to make sure that science serves the cause of humanity instead of the other way around.

We face an enemy that is brutal. There is no negotiation with these people. You can't try to talk reason into these totalitarians.

I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein.

Iraq is no diversion. It is a place where civilization is taking a decisive stand against chaos and terror, we must not waver.

But we cannot allow weapons of mass destruction to fall into the hands of terrorists. I will not allow that to happen.

Those who heralded the decision not to give law enforcement the tools necessary to protect the American people just simply don't see the world the way we do.

I've watched politics for years. Republicans rarely get credit for the good things that happen in the economy during their watch. Democrats always get more credit than they deserve. They are just better at political discourse that we are.
