We face an enemy determined to bring death and suffering into our homes. America did not ask for this war, and every American wishes it were over. So do I. But the war is not over, and it will not be over until either we or the extremists emerge victorious. If we do not defeat these enemies now, we will leave our children to face a Middle East overrun by terrorist states and radical dictators armed with nuclear weapons.
Bush outlines the ongoing threat posed by extremists and the necessity of continuing the fight.

More from George H.W. Bush
CNN has confirmed that former President George H.W. Bush has said he's going vote for Hillary Clinton in November.
Michael Dukakis has opposed virtually every defense system we've developed.
This means that people of every race, religion, ethnicity can be fully and equally American. It means that bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed.
George W. Bush also focused on the inevitability of history saying 'trade freely with China and time is on our side.'
