We do not create terrorism by fighting the terrorists. We invite terrorism by ignoring them.

There is only one course of action against terrorists: to defeat them abroad before they attack us at home.

In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.

I don't make any apologies for what I do on the campaign trail.
