America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.

The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass the test.

We don't want an America that is closed to the world. What we want is a world that is open to America.

America is a friend to the people of Iraq. Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.

We don't want an America that is closed to the world. What we want is a world that is open to America.

The United States of America will never be intimidated by thugs and assassins. The killers will fail, and the Iraqi people will live in freedom.
