We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge. We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.

It is a tough choice. In war, people die. But when we refuse to confront the enemy, we will face the enemy in New York and Washington, as we did on 9-11.

We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of our great nation.

It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.
