It's an honor to have the opportunity to address such a distinguished
group. I would like to extend my thanks to AIPAC, Bernice Manocherian,
Howard Kohr, and attendees of the Summit for giving me an opportunity
to join you today. I only regret that I am not able to be with you in
person.
Earlier this month, speaking before the National Endowment for
Democracy, President Bush outlined the five principles on which our
nation's strategy in the War on Terror is based. First, he said,
"we're determined to prevent the attacks of terrorist networks before
they occur." Second, "we're determined to deny weapons of mass
destruction to outlaw regimes, and to their terrorist allies who would
use them without hesitation." Third, "we're determined to deny radical
groups the support and sanctuary of outlaw regimes." Fourth, the
President stated that "we're determined to deny the militants control
of any nation, which they would use as a home base and a launching pad
for terror."
There is little disagreement that America will be more secure if we
continue successfully to fulfill these four principles. It is
important to note that Israel will also benefit from our achievement
of these aims.
