The Columbia Is Lost, But

I Think It's Fair To Say You Can't Predict A Straight Line To Victory. You Know, There'll Be Good Days And Bad Days Along The Way.

I Think, In Fact, The Situation With Respect To Al Qaeda, To Say That, You Know, That Was A Big Attack We Had On 9/11, But It's Not Likely Again, I Just Think That's Dead Wrong. I Think The Biggest Strategic Threat The United States Faces Today Is The Possibility Of Another 9/11 With A Nuclear Weapon Or A Biological Agent Of Some Kind. And I Think Al Qaeda Is Out There Even As We Meet, Trying To Figure Out How To Do That.

We Have No Intention Of Ignoring Or Appeasing History's Latest Gang Of Fanatics Trying To Murder Their Way To Power.

I Think We Need A Very, Very Serious Effort, Primarily Through Tax Policy To Provide Incentives And Encouragement For People To Save And Invest And Expand Their Businesses And To Create More Jobs. The Kind Of Thing We Did In The Early Reagan Years, 30 Years Ago. I Think That's Essential.

I Have Not Suggested There's A Connection Between Iraq And 9/11, But There's Clearly An Established Iraqi Track Record With Terror.
