Some Of The Comments That Have Been Uttered About Islam Do Not Reflect The Sentiments Of My Government Or The Sentiments Of Most Americans.

I Was Not Pleased That Hamas Has Refused To Announce Its Desire To Destroy Israel.

Through Centuries Of Struggle, Jews Across The World Have Been Witnesses Not Only Against The Crimes Of Men, But For Faith In God And God Alone.

We Were Certain, And Therefore We Had Huge Nuclear Arsenals Aimed At Each Other To Keep The Peace. That's What We Were Certain Of... You See, Even Though It's An Uncertain World, We're Certain Of Some Things. We're Certain That Even Though The "evil Empire" May Have Passed, Evil Still Remains.

We Need To Have Mentoring Programs Energized By Government, Paid For By Government, But Who Exist Not Because Of Government. Teen Challenge Is A Way To Get People Off Drugs And Alcohol. Teen Challenge Is A Faith-based Program That Changes People's Hearts.

Civil Society People - These Are The People - Civil Society Groups Are The People Who Need To Monitor The Aid To Ensure That The Aid Is Directed To What It Is Supposed To. And In Order For Them To Do So, They Need To Have The Space, They Need To Have The Freedom, And They Need To Have The Right To Demonstrate, And To Petition Their Government.

One Of The Things That I Will Have Ended My Public Service Time With Is A Group Of Friends, A Lot Of Friends. And I Want To Stay In Touch With Them And There's No Better Way To Communicate With Them Than Through Email.

Lots Of Friends

We Have Learned That Terrorist Attacks Are Not Caused By The Use Of Strength; They Are Invited By The Perception Of Weakness.

America Has Entered A Great Struggle That Tests Our Strength, And Even More Our Resolve. Our Nation Is Patient And Steadfast. We Continue To Pursue The Terrorists In Cities And Camps And Caves Across The Earth. We Are Joined By A Great Coalition Of Nations To Rid The World Of Terror. And We Will Not Allow Any Terrorist Or Tyrant To Threaten Civilization With Weapons Of Mass Murder. Now And In The Future, Americans Will Live As Free People, Not In Fear, And Never At The Mercy Of Any Foreign Plot Or Power.

We Need An Energy Bill That Encourages Consumption.

If You Read With Empathy What Lincoln Went Through, Then You Realize What You're Going Through Is Nothing Compared To What He Went Through.

Terrorists Like Bin Laden Are Serious About Mass Murder - And All Of Us Must Take Their Declared Intentions Seriously. They Seek To Impose A Heartless System Of Totalitarian Control Throughout The Middle East, And Arm Themselves With Weapons Of Mass Murder. . . . Their Aim Is To Seize Power In Iraq, And Use It As A Safe Haven To Launch Attacks Against America And The World.

I'm Honored To Shake The Hand Of A Brave Iraqi Citizen Who Had His Hand Cut Off By Saddam Hussein.

Somebody Accused Us Of Hiring Him And Putting Him There. He Was A Classic.

Our War On Terror Begins With Al-qaida, But It Does Not End There. It Will Not End Until Every Terrorist Group Of Global Reach Has Been Found, Stopped, And Defeated.

Terrorist Groups

I Understand Why People Are Discouraged About Iraq. I Can Understand That. We Live In A, You Know, World In Which People Hope Things Happen Quickly. And This Is A Situation Where Things Don't Happen Quickly Because There's, You Know, A Very Tough Group Of People Using Tactics - Mainly The Killing Of Innocent People - To Achieve Their Objective, And They're Skillful About How They Do This. And They Also Know The Impact Of What It Means On The Consciousness Of Those Of Us Who Live In The Free World. They Know That.

Thats Why We Are Inconveniencing Air Traffickers, To Make Sure Nobody Is Carrying Weapons On Airplanes.

The Pentagon Is Constantly Adjusting Tactics Because They Have The Flexibility From The White House To Do So. The Strategy Is To Help The Iraqi People Achieve Their Objectives And Their Dreams, Which Is A Democratic Society. That's The Strategy. The Tactics It's Important That We Stay There And Get It Done; Or We Leave. We're Not Leaving So Long As I'm The President. That Would Be A Huge Mistake.

Tyrants And Dictators Will Accept No Other Gods Before Them. They Require Disobedience To The First Commandment. They Seek Absolute Control And Are Threatened By Faith In God. They Fear Only The Power They Cannot Possess - The Power Of Truth. So They Resent The Living Example Of The Devout, Especially The Devotion Of A Unique People Chosen By God.

Any Sign That Says We're Going To Leave Iraq Before The Job Is Done Simply Emboldens Terrorists And Creates A Certain Amount Of Doubt For People, So They Won't Take The Risk Necessary To Help A Civil Society Evolve In The Country.
