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

A good run adds a little bounce to my step. I get a certain amount of self-esteem from it.

In every instance when my administration sees a responsibility to help people, we will look first to faith-based institutions, to charities and to community groups that have shown their ability to save and change lives.

We will not waver, we will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and freedom will prevail.

Terrorists like bin Laden are serious about mass murder - and all of us must take their declared intentions seriously. They seek to impose a heartless system of totalitarian control throughout the Middle East, and arm themselves with weapons of mass murder. . . . Their aim is to seize power in Iraq, and use it as a safe haven to launch attacks against America and the world.

I don't care what the polls say. I don't.

If we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road.
