We have told the Israeli government that we would take their comments into consideration and address them fully and seriously as we [go] forward in the implementation of the road map, but this does not require us to change the road map, |
We haven't yet publicly identified the organization we believe was responsible, but when you look at the list of candidates one resides in that region. |
We hope that the current situation can be resolved as quickly as possible, |
We knew there would be days when our anxieties would well up and we would be afraid to take the next step, and we are approaching one such moment now, ... We'll have to take that next step. |
We know that Cuba has been doing some research with respect to biological offensive weapons possibly, and so we think that it is appropriate for us to point out this kind of activity, |
We know that there are occasions that arise when terrorists are coming in, and we know a bomb is heading in ... and we can understand the need to intercept such a terrorist, ... When one goes beyond that and expands those kinds of activities to individuals or to situations where it might not be a ticking bomb ... then the consequences of such actions ... must be taken into consideration. |
We looked away once before in Rwanda with tragic consequences. This is not Rwanda, nor is it Somalia, ... It is a different situation. |
We made clear to the leaders in the region that we want to move forward with negotiations as early as possible, ... And we're looking at different ways to do that once security has been established. |
We must also deal with the grave and growing danger posed by the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, ... The Iraqi regime can either disarm, or be disarmed. The choice is theirs -- but it can no longer be postponed. |
We must always be sure that Israel lives in freedom and security and peace, |
We must go after terrorism wherever it threatens free men and women, ... We can't just stop with a single terrorist or a single terrorist organization, we have to root out the whole system. |
We must keep moving forward. |
We must not be afraid to meet the challenges that are ahead, |
We must not walk away, ... We must not find ourselves here this coming November with the pressure removed and with Iraq once again marching down the merry path to weapons of mass destruction, threatening the region, threatening the world. |
We need a campaign against terrorism, not a campaign with these two countries fighting one another. |
