As an American, I want our forces to prevail.

We shall listen, not lecture; learn, not threaten. We will enhance our safety by earning the respect of others and showing respect for them. In short, our foreign policy will rest on the traditional American values of restraint and empathy, not on military might.

We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might, and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers.

Our troops are committed to bringing security to Iraq while its government matures. American forces will continue to accomplish their mission with caution, precision and honor with the thanks of a grateful nation.

I will defend and enforce the laws of our country to ensure that our people and our nation are protected.

The most important thing in our war preparations is to teach all our people to hate U.S. imperialism. Otherwise, we will not be able to defeat the U.S. imperialists who boast of their technological superiority.

I think we look to the military as something that protects our shores.

Our country will, I believe, sooner forgive an officer for attacking an enemy than for letting it alone.

It is the job of our military to protect America and to hunt down and kill those who would threaten to murder Americans.

The decision to use military force should always be one made with the utmost caution, with U.S. interests at stake, and with the consent of Congress.
