We Have Many Advantages In The Fight Against Global Warming, But Time Is Not One Of Them. Instead Of Idly Debating The Precise Extent Of Global Warming, Or The Precise Timeline Of Global Warming, We Need To Deal With The Central Facts Of Rising Temperatures, Rising Waters, And All The Endless Troubles That Global Warming Will Bring. We Stand Warned By Serious And Credible Scientists Across The World That Time Is Short And The Dangers Are Great. The Most Relevant Question Now Is Whether Our Own Government Is Equal To The Challenge.

War Is Awful. Nothing, Not The Valor With Which It Is Fought Nor The Nobility Of The Cause It Serves, Can Glorify War. War Is Wretched Beyond Description And Only A Fool Or A Fraud Could Sentimentalize Its Cruel Reality. Whatever Is Won In War, It Is Loss The Veteran Remembers.

That Does Not Mean We Won't Experience The Tragedy Of The Loss Of Some American Lives. We Will Have An Opportunity To Instill A Democracy In Iraq Which Will Be An Example And Perhaps Force Other Nations In That Region To Move In The Same Direction.

The Russians Are Succeeding In Continuing Their Dismemberment Of Ukraine, They're Succeeding In Exerting Enormous Influence In The Middle East, Which They Never Had Before.
