For more than a decade, there has been widespread illegal use of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing substances by players in Major League Baseball, in violation of federal law and baseball policy.

The reality that hundreds of thousands of our children are using them. Every American, not just baseball fans, ought to be shocked into action by that disturbing truth.

It means that if we had to face another contingency, that the risk involved would be significant in the sense it would take longer in order to complete and also involve more risk in terms of perhaps to our forces itself.

if we're worried about failed states, that -- countries that are on the edge of poverty and disease and malnutrition and no employment or very little employment, those are potential areas for the breeding grounds of terrorism.

we have to do is persuade other countries that they need to join in this effort.

Do not try to do too much with your own hands.
