“I have every confidence that our highly-trained, highly-skilled military forces will carry out their mission with power and precision.  My prayers are with them and their families as they face grave danger in service of our country.  Brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, and sons and daughters are in harms way, and I pray that they return home safely.  

            Now is not the time to question the wisdom of war, but face its reality and rally behind our troops.  The war is underway, and the safety of all Americans – on the warfront, around the world, and here at home – is our top priority.”
