We live in a dangerous world where rogue nations are developing longer range missiles. We have to make a strong effort at developing defenses against this threat.

We've gotten a long way on missile defense. We know how to do it. We know how to take down incoming warheads, but we need to do a lot more work in order to be - to deploy a system that'll defend the United States against those kinds of limited strikes that might be possible by a nuclear armed North Korea or Iran.

America must be a light to the world, not just a missile.

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

I support development and deployment of a limited national missile defense. Few if any of our duties surpass our obligation to provide for the common defense of our nation.

We have to be as militant defending America as the enemies of America are in trying to destroy America.

More needs to be done to take the fight to the enemy and secure our borders against the terrorist threat. We need more protection on land, sea and air.

We still need to be conscious of the fact that Russia has intercontinental ballistic missiles.

If you really believe the number one priority of our government is the protection of our people, then the idea of being defenseless against an intercontinental ballistic missile or any other type of weapon system that puts us in jeopardy is not acceptable.

Nato allies have been looking at various missile-defence options for some time. Nato itself is developing protections for our deployed troops.
