Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ...

So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real.

In this remarkable time for the world, I refuse to believe it's time to stop believing in the possibilities of our remarkable country. I refuse to accept the downsizing of the American Dream. I refuse to bet against American entrepreneurial spirit and American ingenuity.The competition's tough, and it requires us to be tougher - tough-minded, never hard hearted.

I have a plan to protect the environment so that we leave this place in better shape to our children than we were handed it by our parents.
