“Strength lies not in defense but in attack.”
- Adolf Hitler

“The gravest danger to freedom lies at the crossroads of radicalism and technology. When the spread of chemical and biological and nuclear weapons, along with ballistic missile technology - when that occurs, even weak states and small groups could attain a catastrophic power to strike great nations. Our enemies have declared this very intention, and have been caught seeking these terrible weapons. They want the capability to blackmail us, or to harm us, or to harm our friends - and we will oppose them with all our power.”
- George W. Bush

“America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people.”
- George W. Bush
