I believe we're making really good progress in Iraq.

Part of the faith walk is to understand your weaknesses and is to constantly try to embetter yourself and get closer to the Lord.

I'm a uniter not a divider. That means when it comes time to sew up your chest cavity, we use stitches as opposed to opening it up.

No president ever puts American lives at risk without a terrible sense of responsibility. And no American ever hears or reads of a soldier’s death without saying a silent prayer for the dead hero or thinking of the grief of the family and friends. Every young man or woman who dies represents a life with its own dreams and plans, extinguished so suddenly. But all said and done, it is our responsibility to see that (1) we never put our troops in situations where they are subject to unnecessary risk, and (2) we give them all our support at all times.

Terrorists and their allies believe the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the American Bill of Rights and every charter of liberty ever written are lies to be burned and destroyed and forgotten.

We're still being challenged in Iraq and the reason why is a free Iraq will be a major defeat in the cause of freedom.

The advance of liberty is the path to both a safer and better world.
