A failed Iraq would make America less secure.

I've heard the call. I believe God wants me to run for president.

We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the September 11th.

We face an enemy that is brutal. There is no negotiation with these people. You can't try to talk reason into these totalitarians.

We waited for Congress to act. They couldn't act on the issue. So I just went ahead and signed an executive order which will unleash - [applause] - which says the federal agencies will not discriminate against faith-based programs. They ought to welcome the armies of compassion as opposed to turning them away.

American nation will not wait to be attacked again. We will defend our freedom and we will take the fight to the enemy.

I feel like God wants me to run for president. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen. I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.
