What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States.

We do have to take the long-term view. And long term, the question to ask ourselves is whether America should attack others pre-emptively, whether she should embroil herself in wars far away from our soil, and try to bring democracy by force to the rest of the world.

There is no bigger judgment for a president of the United States than how you take a nation to war.

We still have a lot of work to do to protect our own democracy.

Folks, Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from Alaska. Mitt Romney talks like he's only seen Russia by watching 'Rocky IV.'

The future belongs to freedom, not to fear.

I will never conduct a war or start a war because we want to; the United States of America should only go to war because we have to. And if you live by that guidance, you'll never have veterans throwing away their medals or standing up in protest.
