Our goal is not to crush the enemy at any price, but to make it realize that it is illegal to take up arms to overthrow a democratically elected government.

People like to invent enemies. It spares us the need to address complex worldviews.

Enemies are necessary for the wheels of the U.S. military machine to turn.

We need a common enemy to unite us.

In addition, as citizens, we must fight in their incipient stages all movements by government or party or pressure groups that seek to limit the legitimate liberties of any of our fellow citizens.

We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated.

Because government has tremendous power, it attracts people who are eager to game the system, obtaining by force of law what they could never achieve through consensus.

To win the cause we all believe in, the spread of true democracy all over the world, we need to win by example, not just with speeches but by example; not just with military might but by gaining the respect of the world.

We need to use the benefit of our law enforcement people across this country, combined with our intelligence people across this country. We need to use our technological advantages, because what we've warned of is an international guerrilla movement that threatens this country.

You know, the truth is this: it is a leader's job to challenge the status quo. And when you do, you make enemies.
