I am comfortable that the principles that I articulated were never compromised.

I understand gas prices are like a hidden tax - not a hidden tax; it's taking money out of people's pockets. I know that.

One thing is clear: The Iraqi people are showing incredible courage. The United States of America must understand that it's in our interests that we help this democracy succeed.

I have zero desire to be in the limelight.

I rest their case. I'm Pro-Life.

Today, the government of a free Afghanistan is fighting terror, Pakistan is capturing terrorist leaders, Saudi Arabia is making raids and arrests, Libya is dismantling its weapons programs, the army of a free Iraq is fighting for freedom, and more than three-quarters of al-Qaida's key members and associates have been detained or killed. We have led, many have joined, and America and the world are safer.

Doing nothing in the face of a grave threat to the world is not an option.
