I Don’t Think That [the War In

Sarah Palin Is An Attractive Candidate, But Based On Her Background, She Only Was Governor For What, Two Years. I Don`t Think She Passed That Test.

After 9/11, It Became Clear That We [the United States] Had To Do Several Things To Have A Successful Strategy To Win The Global War On Terror, Specifically That We Had To Go After The Terrorists Wherever We Might Find Them, That We Also Had To Go After State Sponsors Of Terror, Those Who Might Provide Sanctuary Or Safe Harbor For Terror.

There's Every Reason To Believe There Will Be Further Attacks Attempted Against The United States. For Us To Spend So Much Time Patting Ourselves On The Back Because We Got Bin Laden That We Miss The Next Attack Would Be A Terrible Tragedy.

I Have Argued In The Past, And Would Again, If We Had Been Able To Pre-empt The Attacks Of 9/11 Would We Have Done It? And I Think Absolutely. We Have To Be Prepared Now To Take The Kind Of Bold Action That's Being Contemplated With Respect To Iraq In Order To Ensure That We Don't Get Hit With A Devastating Attack When The Terrorists' Organization Gets Married Up With A Rogue State That's Willing To Provide It With The Kinds Of Deadly Capabilities That Saddam Hussein Has Developed And Used Over The Years.

I Think There’s No Question But What The Tail End Of The Bush Administration, Bush-cheney Administration, That We Took Steps Specifically Geared To Try And Free Up The Financial Sector.
