We Have To Make America The Best

In Our Own Country, We Take Democratic Values Seriously - And So We Always Have A Vigorous Debate On The Issues. That's Part Of The Greatness Of America, And We Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way.

From Our Perspective, Trying To Deal With This Continuing Campaign Of Terror, If You Will, The War On Terror That We're Engaged In, This Is A Continuing Enterprise. The People That Were Involved In Some Of Those Activities Before 9/11 Are Still Out There.

You Know, I've Got Experiences Going Back To The Wage Price Controls In The Nixon Administration Where, In Effect, We Had What I Think Was A Terrible Mistake, In That Case A Republican Administration, Where Moved In And Tried To Control The Wages, Prices And Profits Of Every Enterprise In America. It Was A Huge Mistake.

One Of The Reasons The Deficit Got As Big As It Did, Frankly, Was Because Of The Economic Slowdown, The Fall-off In Deficits, The Terrorist Attacks. A Significant Chunk Was Taken Out Of The Economy By What Happened After The Attacks Of 9/11.

The Bottom Line Is That We've Had Enormous Successes (in Iraq) And We Will Continue To Have Enormous Successes.
