We have to make sure that we are a force for peace and stability in the world, and that we're prepared to defend freedom and the security of the American people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And we ask the American people to play an important part of our layered defense. We ask for cooperation, patience and a commitment to vigilance in the face of a determined enemy.
We need to protect the sovereignty of our nation, and we need to protect the security of our people here in the country.
We must be prepared to face our responsibilities and be willing to use force if necessary.
We must maintain strong defenses, military and spiritual.
We have to remain vigilant, and we have to continue to take the fight to the terrorist.
We need to inspire and give each other confidence so that the work we do will be fruitful for the well-being of the people and the stability and security of the country.
We have to protect the rights of the American people.
As a world leader, America must be prepared to confront any challenge.
We must continue to ensure law enforcement has the necessary tools to combat terrorism here at home. We must also work with our allies and provide our military with the weapons and protective gear they need to defeat terrorism abroad.
To secure peace is to prepare for war.
