America is a friend to the people of Iraq. Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.
The wisest use of American strength is to advance freedom.
Everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.
I understand everybody in this country doesn't agree with the decisions I've made. And I made some tough decisions. But people know where I stand.
Our nation must come together to unite.
Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they expect the same of us.
