I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here.

Now, there are some who would like to rewrite history - revisionist historians is what I like to call them.

But the true threats to stability and peace are these nations that are not very transparent, that hide behind the-that don't let people in to take a look and see what they're up to. They're very kind of authoritarian regimes. The true threat is whether or not one of these people decide, peak of anger, try to hold us hostage, ourselves; the Israelis, for example, to whom we'll defend, offer our defenses; the South Koreans.

It's going to be the year of the sharp elbow and the quick tongue.

There is no doubt in my mind when history was written, the final page will say: 'Victory was achieved by the United States of America for the good of the world.'

The world must understand that it is the time to come together to address the root cause of the problem, and the problem is you have a state within a state. You had people launch attacks on a sovereign nation without the consent of the government in the country in which they are lodged.

I decided what I wanted to do, not to make me look good, but to make me feel comfortable. Other presidents do it other ways.
