This will not be a campaign of half measures, and we will accept no outcome except victory.

The point now is how do we work together to achieve important goals. And one such goal is a democracy in Germany.

Hindsight alone is not wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy.

I saw a threat in Saddam Hussein. Members of the United States Congress from both political parties saw that same threat. The United Nation's saw the threat. I made the right decision in getting Saddam Hussein out of power.

I feel a sense of obligation to our troops and their families because of the decisions that I made. So I'm involved with veterans.

I like my buddies from west Texas. I liked them when I was young; I liked them when I was middle-age; I liked them before I was President; and I like them during President; and I like them after President.

Their sacrifice was great, but not in vain. All Americans and every free nation on earth can trace their liberty to the white markers of places like Arlington National Cemetery. And may God keep us ever grateful.
