For all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein's regime is a better and safer place.

I'm the master of low expectations.

I was taught that we should look after the beam in our own eye before searching for the mote in someone else's.

I don't see how we can allow public dollars to fund programs where spite and hate is the core of the message.

I am a passionate person when it comes to freedom.

Today the Iraqi and Afghan people are on the path to democracy and freedom. The governments that are rising will pose no threat to others. Instead of harboring terrorists, they're fighting terrorist groups. And this progress is good for the long-term security of all of us.

And we will win the war, and there will be costs. But the military folks understand that, and so do I, and so does the Secretary of Defense.
