I want to remind you right quick what this country has been through, and the challenges this economy had faced over the last three years. First, we went through a recession. That means we were going backwards.

Nobody's ever suggested that the attacks of September the 11th were ordered by Iraq. I have suggested, however, that resentment and the lack of hope create the breeding grounds for terrorists who are willing to use suiciders to kill, to achieve an objective. I have made that case.

Whatever party you're in in America, our troops deserve the full support of our government.

I'm not so sure the role of the United States is going around the world saying this is the way its gotta be.

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.

We must show new energy in fighting back an old evil. Nearly two centuries after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, and more than a century after slavery was officially ended in its last strongholds, the trade in human beings for any purpose must not be allowed to thrive in our time.

Of course we're after Iraq.. eh.. Saddam Hussein.. I mean bin Laden.
