Let Us Rid Ourselves Of The Fiction

The Greatest Threat Now Is A 9/11 Occurring With A Group Of Terrorists Armed Not With Airline Tickets And Box Cutters, But With A Nuclear Weapon In The Middle Of One Of Our Own Cities...there's A High Probability Of Such An Attempt.

I Mean, It's Not Just One Day You Get Up, Bang, And You Got Osama Bin Laden. It's The Kind Of Thing Where An Awful Lot Of People Over A Long Period Of Time - Thousands Have Worked This Case And These Issues And Followed On The Leads And Captured Bad Guys And Interrogated Them And So-forth.

The Columbia Is Lost, But The Dreams That Inspired Its Crew Remain With Us.

I Think That Freedom Means Freedom For Everyone. As Many Of You Know, One Of My Daughters Is Gay And It Is Something We Have Lived With For A Long Time In Our Family. I Think People Ought To Be Free To Enter Into Any Kind Of Union They Wish. Any Kind Of Arrangement They Wish.

After 9/11 We Were Prepared To Use Military Force. We Were Prepared To Go After Not Only The Terrorists, But Those Who Sponsor Terror And Provide Sanctuary And Safe Harbor For Them. We Were Prepared To Use Our Intelligence Assets The Way We Would Against An Enemy That Threatened The United States Itself, To Put In Place, For Example, Things Like The Terror Surveillance Program And To Have A Robust Interrogation Program On Detainees. Those Are The Acts You Take When You Feel You're At War And That The Very Existence Of The Nation Is Threatened.
