Statement on Launch of Effort to Disarm Iraq
Issues: National Security
Our thoughts tonight are with the American troops serving our country in the Persian Gulf. In the history of our great nation, these are the best-trained and best-equipped men and women we have dispatched overseas. We all pray for their success and safe return.
The highest responsibility our government has is to keep our people safe. I wish that it didn't come to this. Nobody wishes for war. But, we must face the challenge of terrorism head on and I support our Commander in Chief and the American military at this critical time in that struggle.
