We're taking action against evil people. Because this great nation of many religions understands, our war is not against Islam, or against faith practiced by the Muslim people. Our war is a war against evil. This is clearly a case of good versus evil, and make no mistake about it - good will prevail.

Our aim is a democratic peace.

I feel that it's important our professionals have the tools to keep the enemy, to stop their attacks.

We should fund the armies of compassion, we should not discriminate against faith-based programs.

I believe in the transformational power of liberty. I believe that the free Iraq is in this nation's interests. I believe a free Afghanistan is in this nation's interest.

Free market capitalism is far more than economic theory. It is the engine of social mobility-the highway to the American Dream.

The question is: How do we succeed in Iraq? And you don't succeed by leaving before the mission is complete, like some in this political process are suggesting.
