I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.
The wisest use of American strength is to advance freedom.
Everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.
I understand everybody in this country doesn't agree with the decisions I've made. And I made some tough decisions. But people know where I stand.
Our nation must come together to unite.
Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they expect the same of us.
