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

The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself. The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them.

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.

We think it is in our nation's interest that Afghan women - or any women around the world - not suffer.

We ought to make the pie higher.

The Oval Office is a place where there's been, obviously, a lot of amazing experiences over a seven-and-a-half year period. My presidency is one where I've had to make some very tough decisions. I guess some presidencies are kind of - were real smooth, there were no real big issues. Well, that's not the way mine is.

The terrorists can kill the innocent, but they cannot stop the advance of freedom.
