The Federalist Society Has Made Important Contributions

It's Not Just Bin Laden Or Just Those That Are Involved In The Counterterrorism Effort. We've Gotta Cast The Net Broader Than That. But I Think It's A - Very Special Tribute That We All Owe To The Bravery And Courage Of The Men And Women In The Intelligence And Military Business Who Performed So Well To Finally Get It Done.

I Feel Very Strongly That The Significance Of 9/11 Cannot Be Underestimated. It Forces Us To Think In New Ways About Strategy, About National Security, About How We Structure Our Forces And About How We Use U.s. Military Power.

There's Overwhelming Evidence That There Was A Connection Between Al Qaeda And The Iraqi Government.

What We Did In Iraq Was Exactly The Right Thing To Do. If I Had It To Recommend All Over Again, I Would Recommend Exactly The Same Course Of Action.

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.
