Our security and sovereignty stand together.

Americans understand that our security is enhanced when the United States is trusted and respected in the world.

The example that America knows how to govern itself is one of the compelling aspects of our national security.

We need to protect the sovereignty of our nation, and we need to protect the security of our people here in the country.

The desire for security must be balanced with our regard for liberty.

One of our pillars has to be national security - our nation's security both domestically and abroad.

I think one of the great things about the United States has been our ability to maintain a distinction between our military and domestic law enforcement.

Our top focus - protecting our Nation - must go beyond homeland preparedness; America will only be secure if we deal with threats before they happen, not just after they happen.

Next to upholding the Constitution of the United States, the president's highest duty is to protect the security of this country - our national security.

We must protect the very things that make America so special - most certainly including our civil liberties. But we cannot do so without strong national security and a thoughtful and informed discourse.
