Political Quotes

“I rise today to tell the Nation this fact: Right now, the world is less safe than it was a year ago, or even before the terrible events of September 11. We should be confronting violent extremism and people who want to destroy our life and our Nation. We should be chasing them around the world and giving them no rest or refuge. Yet, after nearly 5 years of the war on terror, where are we? The Taliban is growing stronger in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda is firmly entrenched in Iraq, where it never had been before. Hamas and Hezbollah are acting with impunity. This country needs a new strategy in the struggle with extremists, not one that is hamstrung by the mess in Iraq, sidetracked by political finger-pointing, or beholden to special oil interests. This country needs new leadership that will safeguard our children's future rather than send them to war without equipment that they need. This country needs a new direction, a direction that will make tomorrow safer than today. The American people deserve nothing less. ____________________”
