We're undertaking this massive operation not merely to ensure security for our own time and place but for our children and their children just as our ancestors have done for us.

These actions are right, and they are necessary to ensure that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of threats.

As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

Even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives, we pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen.

For almost 50 years these wicked extremists have been attacking the United States while chanting the slogan Death to America or Death to Israel or both.

These intolerable threats will not continue any longer.

To seize this moment, to be brave, be bold, be heroic and take back your country. America is with you. I made a promise to you and I fulfilled that promise. The rest will be up to you, but we'll be there to help.
