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.

I Think, In Fact, The Situation With Respect To Al Qaeda, To Say That, You Know, That Was A Big Attack We Had On 9/11, But It's Not Likely Again, I Just Think That's Dead Wrong. I Think The Biggest Strategic Threat The United States Faces Today Is The Possibility Of Another 9/11 With A Nuclear Weapon Or A Biological Agent Of Some Kind. And I Think Al Qaeda Is Out There Even As We Meet, Trying To Figure Out How To Do That.

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.

I Worked For George Bush. I'm Proud To Have Worked For Him. I Think That A Lot Of The Most Controversial Things We Did, That People Didn't Like And - And Criticized Us For, Things Like The Terror Surveillance Program Or The Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, Were Things That Allowed Us To Save Lives.
