Victory in Iraq will be difficult and it will require more sacrifice. The fighting there can be as fierce as it was at Omaha Beach or Guadalcanal. And victory is as important as it was in those earlier battles.

You've seen this kind of enemy before. They are successors to fascists, to Nazis, to communists and other totalitarians of the 20th Century.

The security of the civilized world depends on victory in the war on terror and that depends on victory in Iraq. So the United States of America will not leave until victory is achieved.

The White House trying another way to link the war in Iraq to the war in -- war on terror.

I will never question the patriotism of somebody who disagrees with him.

They are speeches to make it clear that, if we retreat before the job is done, this nation will become even more in jeopardy. These are important times. And I was -- I seriously hope people wouldn't politicize these issues that I'm going…

America is safer than it has been, but it's not yet safe.

As long as I'm president, we're not leaving, period.

These aren't joyous times. These are challenging times, and they're difficult times, and they're straining the -- the psyche of our country.

America is safer than it has been, but it's not yet safe.

You can't run a government. You can't have a democracy. If you've got a armed faction within your country, Hezbollah attacked Israel. Hezbollah started the crisis. And Hezbollah suffered a defeat in this crisis.

Responsibility for the suffering of the Lebanese people also lies with Hezbollah's state sponsors, Iran and Syria. The regime in Iran provides Hezbollah with financial support, weapons, and training. Iran has made clear that it seeks the…

The lessons of the past week is that there's still a war on terror going on and there are still individuals that would like to kill innocent Americans to achieve political objectives. That's the lesson.
