The biggest threat facing America is terrorists with weapons of mass destruction.

I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.

I believe that freedom is the deepest need of every human soul.

The economy is growing, productivity is high, trade is up, people are working. It's not as good as we'd like, but -- and to the extent that we find weakness, we'll move.

Israel is our ally and in that we've made a very strong commitment to support Israel, we will support Israel if her security is threatened.

I want to remind you all that in order to fight and win the war, it requires an expenditure of money that is commiserate with keeping a promise to our troops to make sure that they're well paid, well trained, well equipped.

It is clear that the future of freedom and peace depend on the actions of America. This nation is freedom's home. We are freedom's defender. We welcome this charge of history, and we are keeping it. The war on terror continues. The enemies of freedom are not idle. And neither are we. This country will not rest, we will not tire, we will not stop until this danger to civilization is removed.
