America needs a military where our breast and brightest are proud to serve.

I was very fortunate to have had a mother and father who loved me in spite of my failings.

When John Murtha, for example, said the Marines are killing innocent civilians in cold blood.

I wish I wasn't the war president. Who in the heck wants to be a war president? I don't.

All I can tell you is that I know the enemy, allies, and troops hear what I say.

Let me start off by saying that in 2000 I said, 'Vote for me. I'm an agent of change.' In 2004, I said, 'I'm not interested in change - I want to continue as president.' Every candidate has got to say 'change.' That's what the American people expect.

Helping people helps defines a strategy that makes public and private moneys more effective when it comes to helping save lives.
