I want to make sure that, not only in the Republican Party but in the body politic as a whole, people are aware of threats that remain to the United States.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I see as the greatest threat to America is that the American people will put political pressure on their leaders to pull out of Iraq before we should.
The real threat comes from terrorism.
The fact of the matter is that the United States faces real threats from criminals, terrorists, spies, and malicious cyber actors.
The threat has changed from simply worrying about foreigners coming here, to worrying about people in the United States, American citizens - raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they are going to become radicalized and take up arms against the nation in which they were born.
I believe the American people have a genuine and justifiable fear of government intrusion in what they instinctively know is going to be an ever more intrusive world.
The personal threat is something that's always been a part of our lives.
We believe, as the President has indicated, that this combination of a rogue state that possesses weapons of mass destruction and has known ties to terrorist organizations, is a grave threat to the people of the United States and to other countries around the world.
There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud.
Remaining vigilant toward this ever-present threat means constantly learning how better to protect ourselves. But primarily it reminds us that we must fight and win the war on terror, so that we do not have to fight it here in America.
Threat is in the eye of the beholder.
