Barack Obama

thank you lee __PUNCT__ for host me here at the wilson center __PUNCT__ and for your leadership of both the 9/11_commiss and the iraq studi_group __PUNCT__

you have been a steadi voic of reason in an unsteadi time __PUNCT__

let me also sai that my thought and prayer ar with your colleagu __PUNCT__ haleh esfandiari __PUNCT__ and her famili __PUNCT__

i have made my posit known to the iranian_govern __PUNCT__

it is time for haleh to be releas __PUNCT__

it is time for haleh to come home __PUNCT__

it came dure what the commiss call the __PUNCT__ summer of threat __PUNCT__ when the __PUNCT__ system wa blink red __PUNCT__ about an impend attack __PUNCT__

but despit the brief __PUNCT__ mani felt the danger wa oversea __PUNCT__ a threat to embassi and militari instal __PUNCT__

the extrem __PUNCT__ the resent __PUNCT__ the terrorist train camp __PUNCT__ and the killer were in the dark corner of the world __PUNCT__ far awai from the american homeland __PUNCT__

then __PUNCT__ on bright and beauti tuesdai morn __PUNCT__ thei were here __PUNCT__

i wa drive to a state_legisl hear in downtown chicago when i heard the new on my car radio __PUNCT__ a plane had hit the world_trade_center __PUNCT__

by the time i got to my meet __PUNCT__ the second plane had hit __PUNCT__ and we were told to evacu __PUNCT__

peopl_gather in the street and look up at the sky and the sear tower __PUNCT__ transform from a workplac to a target __PUNCT__

we fear for our famili and our countri __PUNCT__

we mourn the terribl loss suffer by our fellow_citizen __PUNCT__

back at my law offic __PUNCT__ i watch the imag from new york __PUNCT__ a plane vanish into glass and steel __PUNCT__ men and women cling to windowsil __PUNCT__ then let go __PUNCT__ tall tower crumbl to dust __PUNCT__

it seem all of the miseri and all of the evil in the world were in that roll black cloud __PUNCT__ block out the __DATE__ sun __PUNCT__

what we saw that morn forc us to recogn that in a new world of threat __PUNCT__ we ar no longer protect by our own power __PUNCT__

and what we saw that morn wa a challeng to a new gener __PUNCT__

the histori of america is on of tragedi turn into triumph __PUNCT__

and so a war over secess becam an opportun to set the captiv free __PUNCT__

an attack on pearl_harbor led to a wave of freedom roll across the atlant and pacif __PUNCT__

an iron curtain wa punctur by democrat valu __PUNCT__ new institut at home __PUNCT__ and strong intern partnership abroad __PUNCT__

after 9/11 __PUNCT__ our call wa to write a new chapter in the american stori __PUNCT__

to devis new strategi and build new allianc __PUNCT__ to secur our homeland and safeguard our valu __PUNCT__ and to serv a just caus abroad __PUNCT__

we were readi __PUNCT__

american were unit __PUNCT__

friend around the world stood shoulder to shoulder with us __PUNCT__

we had the might and moral __PUNCT__ suasion that wa the legaci of gener of american __PUNCT__

the tide of histori seem pois to turn __PUNCT__ onc again __PUNCT__ toward hope __PUNCT__

but then everyth chang __PUNCT__

we did not finish the job against al_qaeda in afghanistan __PUNCT__

we did not develop new capabl to defeat a new enemi __PUNCT__ or launch a comprehens strategi to dry up the terrorist __PUNCT__ base of support __PUNCT__

we did not reaffirm our basic valu __PUNCT__ or secur our homeland __PUNCT__

instead __PUNCT__ we got a color __PUNCT__ code polit of fear __PUNCT__

patriot as the possess of on polit_parti __PUNCT__

the diplomaci of refus to talk to other countri __PUNCT__

a rigid __NUM___centuri ideolog that insist that the __NUM__ centuri stateless terror could be defeat through the invas and occup of a state __PUNCT__

a deliber strategi to misrepres 9/11 to sell a war against a countri that had noth to do with 9/11 __PUNCT__

and so __PUNCT__ a littl more than a year after that bright __DATE___dai __PUNCT__ i wa in the street of chicago again __PUNCT__ thi time speak at a ralli in opposit to war in iraq __PUNCT__

i did not oppos all war __PUNCT__ i said __PUNCT__

i wa a strong_support of the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__

but i said i could not support __PUNCT__ a dumb war __PUNCT__ a rash war __PUNCT__ in iraq __PUNCT__

i worri about a __PUNCT__ u. __PUNCT__ occup of undetermin length __PUNCT__ at undetermin cost __PUNCT__ with undetermin consequ __PUNCT__ in the heart of the muslim_world __PUNCT__

i plead that we __PUNCT__ finish the fight with bin ladin and al_qaeda __PUNCT__

the polit wind were blow in a differ direct __PUNCT__

the presid wa determin to go to war __PUNCT__

there wa just on obstacl __PUNCT__ the u. __PUNCT__ congress __PUNCT__

nine dai after i spoke __PUNCT__ that obstacl wa remov __PUNCT__

congress rubber __PUNCT__ stamp the rush to war __PUNCT__ give the presid the broad and open __PUNCT__ end author he us to thi dai __PUNCT__

with that vote __PUNCT__ congress becam co __PUNCT__ author of a catastroph war __PUNCT__

and we went off to fight on the wrong battlefield __PUNCT__ with no appreci of how mani enemi we would creat __PUNCT__ and no plan for how to get out __PUNCT__

becaus of a war in iraq that should never have been author and should never have been wage __PUNCT__ we ar now less safe than we were befor 9/11 __PUNCT__

accord to the nation_intellig estim __PUNCT__ the threat to our homeland from al_qaeda is __PUNCT__ persist and evolv __PUNCT__

iraq is a train ground for terror __PUNCT__ torn apart by civil_war __PUNCT__

afghanistan is more violent than it ha been sinc __NUM__ __PUNCT__

al_qaeda ha a sanctuari in pakistan __PUNCT__

israel is besieg by embolden enemi __PUNCT__ talk openli of it destruct __PUNCT__

iran is now present the broadest strateg challeng to the unit_state in the middl_east in a gener __PUNCT__

group affili with or inspir by al_qaeda oper worldwid __PUNCT__

six year after 9/11 __PUNCT__ we ar again in the midst of a __PUNCT__ summer of threat __PUNCT__ with bin ladin and mani more terrorist determin to strike in the unit_state __PUNCT__

what more __PUNCT__ in the dark hall of abu_ghraib and the detent cell of guantanamo __PUNCT__ we have compromis our most preciou valu __PUNCT__

what could have been a call to a gener ha becom an excus for uncheck presidenti_power __PUNCT__

a tragedi that unit us wa turn into a polit wedg_issu us to divid us __PUNCT__

it is time to turn the page __PUNCT__

it is time to write a new chapter in our respons to 9/11 __PUNCT__

just becaus the presid misrepres our enemi doe not mean we do not have them __PUNCT__

the terrorist ar at war with us __PUNCT__

the threat is from violent extremist who ar a small_minor of the world __NUM___billion muslim __PUNCT__ but the threat is real __PUNCT__

thei distort islam __PUNCT__

thei kill man __PUNCT__ woman and child __PUNCT__ christian and hindu __PUNCT__ jew and muslim __PUNCT__

thei seek to creat a repress caliph __PUNCT__

to defeat thi enemi __PUNCT__ we must understand who we ar fight against __PUNCT__ and what we ar fight for __PUNCT__

the presid would have us believ that everi bomb in baghdad is part of al_qaeda war against us __PUNCT__ not an iraqi civil_war __PUNCT__

he elev al_qaeda in iraq __PUNCT__ which didn't exist befor our invas __PUNCT__ and overlook the peopl who hit us on 9/11 __PUNCT__ who ar train new recruit in pakistan __PUNCT__

he lump togeth group with veri differ goal __PUNCT__ al qaeda and iran __PUNCT__ shiit militia and sunni_insurg __PUNCT__

he confus our mission __PUNCT__

and wors __PUNCT__ he is fight the war the terrorist want us to fight __PUNCT__

bin ladin and hi alli know thei cannot defeat us on the field of battl or in a genuin battl of idea __PUNCT__

but thei can provok the reaction we seen in iraq __PUNCT__ a misguid invas of a muslim_countri that spark new insurg __PUNCT__ ti down our militari __PUNCT__ bust our budget __PUNCT__ increas the pool of terrorist recruit __PUNCT__ alien america __PUNCT__ give democraci a bad name __PUNCT__ and prompt the american_peopl to question our engag in the world __PUNCT__

by refus to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ presid_bush is give the terrorist what thei realli want __PUNCT__ and what the congress vote to give them in __NUM__ __PUNCT__ a u. __PUNCT__ occup of undetermin length __PUNCT__ at undetermin cost __PUNCT__ with undetermin consequ __PUNCT__

it is time to turn the page __PUNCT__

when i am presid __PUNCT__ we will wage the war that ha to be won __PUNCT__ with a comprehens strategi with five element __PUNCT__ get out of iraq and on to the right battlefield in afghanistan and pakistan __PUNCT__ develop the capabl and partnership we need to take out the terrorist and the world most deadli weapon __PUNCT__ engag the world to dry up support for terror and extrem __PUNCT__ restor our valu __PUNCT__ and secur a more resili homeland __PUNCT__

the first step must be get off the wrong battlefield in iraq __PUNCT__ and take the fight to the terrorist in afghanistan and pakistan __PUNCT__

i introduc a plan in __DATE__ that would have alreadi start bring our troop out of iraq __PUNCT__ with a goal of remov all combat brigad by __DATE__ __PUNCT__

if the presid_continu to veto thi plan __PUNCT__ then end thi war will be my first prioriti when i take offic __PUNCT__

there is no militari solut in iraq __PUNCT__

onli iraq leader can settl the grievanc at the heart of iraq civil_war __PUNCT__

we must appli pressur on them to act __PUNCT__ and our best leverag is reduc our troop presenc __PUNCT__

and we must also do the hard and sustain diplomat work in the region on behalf of peac and stabil __PUNCT__

in end the war __PUNCT__ we must act with more wisdom than we start it __PUNCT__

that is why my plan would maintain suffici forc in the region to target al_qaeda within iraq __PUNCT__

but we must recogn that al qaeda is not the primari_sourc of violenc in iraq __PUNCT__ and ha littl support __PUNCT__ not from shia and kurd who al_qaeda ha target __PUNCT__ or sunni tribe hostil to foreign __PUNCT__

on the contrari __PUNCT__ al qaeda appeal within iraq is enhanc by our troop presenc __PUNCT__

end the war will help isol al qaeda and give iraqi the incent and opportun to take them out __PUNCT__

it will also allow us to direct badli need resourc to afghanistan __PUNCT__

our troop have fought valiantli there __PUNCT__ but iraq ha depriv them of the support thei need __PUNCT__ and deserv __PUNCT__

as a result __PUNCT__ part of afghanistan ar fall into the hand of the taliban __PUNCT__ and a mix of terror __PUNCT__ drug __PUNCT__ and corrupt threaten to overwhelm the countri __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i would deploi at least two addit brigad to afghanistan to re __PUNCT__ enforc our counter __PUNCT__ terror oper and support nato effort against the taliban __PUNCT__

as we step up our commit __PUNCT__ our european friend must do the same __PUNCT__ and without the burdensom restrict that have hamper nato effort __PUNCT__

we must also put more of an afghan face on secur by improv the train and equip of the afghan armi and polic __PUNCT__ and includ afghan_soldier in u. __PUNCT__ and nato oper __PUNCT__

we must not __PUNCT__ howev __PUNCT__ repeat the mistak of iraq __PUNCT__

the solut in afghanistan is not just militari __PUNCT__ it is polit and econom __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i would increas our non __PUNCT__ militari_aid by __MONEY___billion __PUNCT__

these resourc should fund project at the local_level to impact ordinari afghan __PUNCT__ includ the develop of altern livelihood for poppi farmer __PUNCT__

and we must seek better perform from the afghan_govern __PUNCT__ and support that perform through tough anti __PUNCT__ corrupt safeguard on aid __PUNCT__ and increas intern support to develop the rule of law across the countri __PUNCT__

abov all __PUNCT__ i will send a clear messag __PUNCT__ we will not repeat the mistak of the past __PUNCT__ when we turn our back on afghanistan follow soviet withdraw __PUNCT__

as 9/11 show us __PUNCT__ the secur of afghanistan and america is share __PUNCT__

and todai __PUNCT__ that secur is most threaten by the al_qaeda and taliban sanctuari in the tribal region of northwest pakistan __PUNCT__

al qaeda_terrorist train __PUNCT__ travel __PUNCT__ and maintain global commun in thi safe __PUNCT__ haven __PUNCT__

the taliban pursu a hit and run strategi __PUNCT__ strike in afghanistan __PUNCT__ then skulk across the border to safeti __PUNCT__

thi is the wild frontier of our global world __PUNCT__

there ar wind __PUNCT__ swept desert and cave __PUNCT__ dot mountain __PUNCT__

there ar tribe that see border as noth more than line on a map __PUNCT__ and govern as forc that come and go __PUNCT__

there ar blood ti deeper than allianc of conveni __PUNCT__ and pocket of extrem that follow religion to violenc __PUNCT__

it a tough place __PUNCT__

but that is no excus __PUNCT__

there must be no safe __PUNCT__ haven for terrorist who threaten america __PUNCT__

we cannot fail to act becaus action is hard __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i would make the hundr of million of dollar in u. __PUNCT__ militari_aid to pakistan condit __PUNCT__ and i would make our condit clear __PUNCT__ pakistan must make substanti progress in close down the train camp __PUNCT__ evict foreign fighter __PUNCT__ and prevent the taliban from us pakistan as a stage area for attack in afghanistan __PUNCT__

i understand that presid musharraf ha hi own challeng __PUNCT__

but let me make thi clear __PUNCT__

there ar terrorist hole up in those mountain who murder __NUM__ american __PUNCT__

thei ar plot to strike again __PUNCT__

it wa a terribl_mistak to fail to act when we had a chanc to take out an al_qaeda leadership meet in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

if we have action intellig about high __PUNCT__ valu terrorist target and presid musharraf won't act __PUNCT__ we will __PUNCT__

and pakistan need more than f __PUNCT__ 16 to combat extrem __PUNCT__

as the pakistani govern increas invest in secular educ to counter radic madrasa __PUNCT__ my administr will increas america commit __PUNCT__

we must help pakistan invest in the provinc along the afghan border __PUNCT__ so that the extremist __PUNCT__ program of hate is met with on of hope __PUNCT__

and we must not turn a blind_ey to elect that ar neither free nor fair __PUNCT__ our goal is not simpli an alli in pakistan __PUNCT__ it is a democrat alli __PUNCT__

beyond pakistan __PUNCT__ there is a core of terrorist __PUNCT__ probabl in the ten of thousand __PUNCT__ who have made their choic to attack america __PUNCT__

so the second step in my strategi will be to build our capac and our partnership to track down __PUNCT__ captur or kill terrorist around the world __PUNCT__ and to deni them the world most danger weapon __PUNCT__

i will not hesit to us militari_forc to take out terrorist who pose a direct threat to america __PUNCT__

thi requir a broader set of capabl __PUNCT__ as outlin in the armi and marin_corp new counter __PUNCT__ insurg manual __PUNCT__

i will ensur that our militari becom more stealth __PUNCT__ agil __PUNCT__ and lethal in it abil to captur or kill terrorist __PUNCT__

we need to recruit __PUNCT__ train __PUNCT__ and equip our arm_forc to better target terrorist __PUNCT__ and to help foreign militari to do the same __PUNCT__

thi must includ a program to bolster our abil to speak differ languag __PUNCT__ understand differ cultur __PUNCT__ and coordin complex mission with our civilian agenc __PUNCT__

to succe __PUNCT__ we must improv our civilian capac __PUNCT__

the finest militari in the world is adapt to the challeng of the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

but it cannot counter insurg and terrorist_threat without civilian counterpart who can carri out econom and polit reconstruct mission __PUNCT__ sometim in danger place __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will strengthen these civilian capac __PUNCT__ recruit our best and brightest to take on thi challeng __PUNCT__

i will increas both the number and capabl of our diplomat __PUNCT__ develop expert __PUNCT__ and other civilian who can work alongsid our militari __PUNCT__

we can't just sai there is no militari solut to these problem __PUNCT__

we need to integr all aspect of american might __PUNCT__

on compon of thi integr approach will be new mobil develop team that bring togeth personnel from the state_depart __PUNCT__ the pentagon __PUNCT__ and usaid __PUNCT__

these team will work with civil_societi and local_govern to make an immedi impact in peopl __PUNCT__ live __PUNCT__ and to turn the tide against extrem __PUNCT__

where peopl ar most vulner __PUNCT__ where the light of hope ha grown dark __PUNCT__ and where we ar in a posit to make a real differ in advanc secur and opportun __PUNCT__ that is where these team will go __PUNCT__

i will also strengthen our intellig __PUNCT__

thi is about more than an organiz chart __PUNCT__

we need leadership that forc our agenc to share_inform __PUNCT__ and leadership that never __PUNCT__ ever __PUNCT__ twist the fact to support bad_polici __PUNCT__

but we must also build our capac to better collect and analyz inform __PUNCT__ and to carri out oper to disrupt terrorist plot and break up terrorist network __PUNCT__

thi cannot just be an american_mission __PUNCT__

al_qaeda and it alli oper in nearli __NUM___countri __PUNCT__

the unit_state cannot steal everi secret __PUNCT__ penetr everi cell __PUNCT__ act on everi tip __PUNCT__ or track down everi terrorist __PUNCT__ nor should we have to do thi alon __PUNCT__

thi is not just about our secur __PUNCT__

it is about the common secur of all the world __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will creat a share secur partnership program to forg an intern intellig and law_enforc infrastructur to take down terrorist network from the remot island of indonesia __PUNCT__ to the sprawl citi of africa __PUNCT__

thi program will provid __MONEY___billion over three year for counter __PUNCT__ terror cooper with countri around the world __PUNCT__ includ inform share __PUNCT__ fund for train __PUNCT__ oper __PUNCT__ border_secur __PUNCT__ anti __PUNCT__ corrupt program __PUNCT__ technolog __PUNCT__ and target terrorist financ __PUNCT__

and thi effort will focu on help our partner succe without repress tactic __PUNCT__ becaus brutal breed terror __PUNCT__ it doe not defeat it __PUNCT__

we must also do more to safeguard the world most danger weapon __PUNCT__

we know al_qaeda seek a nuclear_weapon __PUNCT__

we know thei would not hesit to us on __PUNCT__

yet there is still about __NUM___ton of highli enrich uranium __PUNCT__ some of it poorli secur __PUNCT__ at civilian nuclear facil in over forti countri __PUNCT__

there ar still about __NUM__ to __NUM__ nuclear_weapon and stockpil of uranium and plutonium scatter across __NUM___time zone in the former soviet_union __PUNCT__

that is why i work in the senat with dick lugar to pass a law that would help the unit_state and our alli detect and stop the smuggl of weapon of mass_destruct __PUNCT__

that is why i am introduc a bill with chuck hagel that seek to prevent nuclear terror __PUNCT__ reduc global nuclear_arsen __PUNCT__ and stop the spread of nuclear_weapon __PUNCT__

and that is why __PUNCT__ as presid __PUNCT__ i will lead a global effort to secur all nuclear weapon and materi at vulner site within four year __PUNCT__

while we work to secur exist stockpil __PUNCT__ we should also negoti a verifi global ban on the product of new nuclear weapon materi __PUNCT__

and i won't hesit to us the power of american diplomaci to stop countri from obtain these weapon or sponsor terror __PUNCT__

the lesson of the bush_year is that not talk doe not work __PUNCT__

go down the list of countri we ignor and see how success that strategi ha been __PUNCT__

we haven't talk to iran __PUNCT__ and thei continu to build their nuclear_program __PUNCT__

we haven't talk to syria __PUNCT__ and thei continu support for terror __PUNCT__

we tri not talk to north_korea __PUNCT__ and thei now have enough materi for __NUM__ to __NUM__ more nuclear_weapon __PUNCT__

it time to turn the page on the diplomaci of tough talk and no action __PUNCT__

it time to turn the page on washington convent_wisdom that agreement must be reach befor you meet __PUNCT__ that talk to other countri is some kind of reward __PUNCT__ and that presid can onli meet with peopl who will tell them what thei want to hear __PUNCT__

presid_kennedi said it best __PUNCT__ let us never negoti out of fear __PUNCT__ but let us never fear to negoti __PUNCT__

onli by know your adversari can you defeat them or drive wedg between them __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will work with our friend and alli __PUNCT__ but i won't outsourc our diplomaci in tehran to the european __PUNCT__ or our diplomaci in pyongyang to the chines __PUNCT__

i will do the care prepar need __PUNCT__ and let these countri know where america stand __PUNCT__

thei will no longer have the excus of american intransig __PUNCT__

thei will have our term __PUNCT__ no support for terror and no nuclear_weapon __PUNCT__

but america must be about more than take out terrorist and lock up weapon __PUNCT__ or els new terrorist will rise up to take the place of everi on we captur or kill __PUNCT__

that is why the third step in my strategi will be dry up the rise well of support for extrem __PUNCT__

when you travel to the world troubl spot as a unit_state state_senat __PUNCT__ much of what you see is from a helicopt __PUNCT__

so you look out __PUNCT__ with the buzz of the rotor in your ear __PUNCT__ mayb a door gunner nearbi __PUNCT__ and you see the refuge_camp in darfur __PUNCT__ the flood near djibouti __PUNCT__ the bomb out block in baghdad __PUNCT__

you see thousand of desper face __PUNCT__

al_qaeda new recruit come from africa and asia __PUNCT__ the middl_east and europ __PUNCT__

mani come from disaffect commun and disconnect corner of our interconnect world __PUNCT__

and it make you stop and wonder __PUNCT__ when those face look up at an american helicopt __PUNCT__ do thei feel hope __PUNCT__ or do thei feel hate __PUNCT__

we know where extremist thrive __PUNCT__

in conflict zone that ar incub of resent and anarchi __PUNCT__

in weak state that cannot control their border or territori __PUNCT__ or meet the basic need of their peopl __PUNCT__

from africa to central_asia to the pacif_rim __PUNCT__ nearli __NUM___countri stand on the brink of conflict or collaps __PUNCT__

the extremist encourag the exploit of these hopeless place on their hate __PUNCT__ fill websit __PUNCT__

and we know what the extremist sai about us __PUNCT__

america is just an occupi armi in muslim land __PUNCT__ the shadow of a shroud figur stand on a box at abu_ghraib __PUNCT__ the power behind the throne of a repress leader __PUNCT__

thei sai we ar at war with islam __PUNCT__

that is the whisper line of the extremist who ha noth to offer in thi battl of idea but blame __PUNCT__ blame america __PUNCT__ blame progress __PUNCT__ blame jew __PUNCT__

and often he offer someth along with the hate __PUNCT__

a sens of empower __PUNCT__

mayb an educ at a madrasa __PUNCT__ some chariti for your famili __PUNCT__ some basic servic in the neighborhood __PUNCT__

and then __PUNCT__ a mission and a gun __PUNCT__

we know we ar not who thei sai we ar __PUNCT__

america is at war with terrorist who kill on our soil __PUNCT__

we ar not at war with islam __PUNCT__

america is a compassion nation that want a better futur for all peopl __PUNCT__

the vast_major of the world __NUM___billion muslim have no us for bin ladin or hi bankrupt idea __PUNCT__

but too often sinc 9/11 __PUNCT__ the extremist have defin us __PUNCT__ not the other wai around __PUNCT__

when i am presid __PUNCT__ that will chang __PUNCT__

we will author our own stori __PUNCT__

we do need to stand for democraci __PUNCT__

and i will __PUNCT__

but democraci is about more than a ballot_box __PUNCT__

america must show __PUNCT__ through deed as well as word __PUNCT__ that we stand with those who seek a better life __PUNCT__

that child look up at the helicopt must see america and feel hope __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will make it a focu of my foreign_polici to roll_back the tide of hopeless that give rise to hate __PUNCT__

freedom must mean freedom from fear __PUNCT__ not the freedom of anarchi __PUNCT__

i will never shrug my shoulder and sai __PUNCT__ as secretari_rumsfeld did __PUNCT__ freedom is untidi __PUNCT__

i will focu our support on help nation_build independ judici_system __PUNCT__ honest polic_forc __PUNCT__ and financi_system that ar transpar and account __PUNCT__

freedom must also mean freedom from want __PUNCT__ not freedom lost to an empti stomach __PUNCT__

so i will make_poverti poverti_reduct a kei part of help other nation reduc anarchi __PUNCT__

i will doubl our annual invest to meet these challeng to __MONEY___billion by __NUM__ __PUNCT__

and i will support a __MONEY__ billion global educ fund to counter the radic madrasa __PUNCT__ often fund by monei from within saudi_arabia __PUNCT__ that have fill young mind with messag of hate __PUNCT__

we must work for a world where everi child __PUNCT__ everywher __PUNCT__ is taught to build and not to destroi __PUNCT__

and as we lead we will ask for more from our friend in europ and asia as well __PUNCT__ more support for our diplomaci __PUNCT__ more support for multilater peacekeep __PUNCT__ and more support to rebuild societi ravag by conflict __PUNCT__

i will also launch a program of public diplomaci that is a coordin effort across my administr __PUNCT__ not a small_group of polit offici at the state_depart explain a misguid war __PUNCT__

we will open __PUNCT__ america hous __PUNCT__ in citi across the islam_world __PUNCT__ with internet __PUNCT__ librari __PUNCT__ english lesson __PUNCT__ stori of america muslim and the strength thei add to our countri __PUNCT__ and vocat program __PUNCT__

through a new __PUNCT__ america voic corp __PUNCT__ we will recruit __PUNCT__ train __PUNCT__ and send out into the field talent young_american who can speak with __PUNCT__ and listen to __PUNCT__ the peopl who todai hear about us onli from our enemi __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will lead thi effort __PUNCT__

in the first __NUM___dai of my administr __PUNCT__ i will travel to a major islam forum and deliv an address to redefin our struggl __PUNCT__

i will make_clear that we ar not at war with islam __PUNCT__ that we will stand with those who ar will to stand up for their futur __PUNCT__ and that we need their effort to defeat the prophet of hate and violenc __PUNCT__

i will speak directli to that child who look up at that helicopt __PUNCT__ and my messag will be clear __PUNCT__ you matter to us __PUNCT__

your futur is our futur __PUNCT__

and our moment is now __PUNCT__

thi bring me to the fourth step in my strategi __PUNCT__ i will make clear that the dai of compromis our valu ar over __PUNCT__

major gener paul eaton had a long and distinguish career serv thi countri __PUNCT__

it includ train the iraqi_armi __PUNCT__

after abu_ghraib __PUNCT__ hi senior iraqi advisor came into hi offic and said __PUNCT__ you have no idea how thi will plai out on the street of baghdad and the rest of the arab_world __PUNCT__

how can thi be __PUNCT__ thi wa not the america he had look up to __PUNCT__

as the counter __PUNCT__ insurg manual remind us __PUNCT__ we cannot win a war unless we maintain the high_ground and keep the peopl on our side __PUNCT__

but becaus the administr decid to take the low road __PUNCT__ our troop have more enemi __PUNCT__

becaus the administr cast asid intern norm that reflect american valu __PUNCT__ we ar less abl to promot our valu __PUNCT__

when i am presid __PUNCT__ america will reject tortur without except __PUNCT__

america is the countri that stood against that kind of behavior __PUNCT__ and we will do so again __PUNCT__

i also will reject a legal_framework that doe not work __PUNCT__

there ha been onli on convict at guantanamo __PUNCT__

it wa for a guilti plea on materi_support for terror __PUNCT__

the sentenc wa __NUM___month __PUNCT__

there ha not been on convict of a terrorist act __PUNCT__

i have faith in america court __PUNCT__ and i have faith in our jag __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will close guantanamo __PUNCT__ reject the militari_commiss act __PUNCT__ and adher to the geneva_convent __PUNCT__

our constitut and our uniform code of militari justic provid a framework for deal with the terrorist __PUNCT__

thi administr also put_forward a fals_choic between the liberti we cherish and the secur we demand __PUNCT__

i will provid our intellig and law_enforc_agenc with the tool thei need to track and take out the terrorist without undermin our constitut and our freedom __PUNCT__

that mean no more illeg wire __PUNCT__ tap of american_citizen __PUNCT__

no more nation_secur letter to spy on citizen who ar not suspect of a crime __PUNCT__

no more track citizen who do noth more than protest a misguid war __PUNCT__

no more ignor the law when it is inconveni __PUNCT__

that is not who we ar __PUNCT__

and it is not what is necessari to defeat the terrorist __PUNCT__

the fisa court work __PUNCT__

the separ of power work __PUNCT__

our constitut work __PUNCT__

we will again set an exampl for the world that the law is not subject to the whim of stubborn ruler __PUNCT__ and that justic is not arbitrari __PUNCT__

thi administr act like violat civil_liberti is the wai to enhanc our secur __PUNCT__

it is not __PUNCT__

there ar no short __PUNCT__ cut to protect_america __PUNCT__ and that is why the fifth part of my strategi is do the hard and patient work to secur a more resili homeland __PUNCT__

too often thi administr approach to homeland_secur ha been to scatter monei around and avoid hard choic __PUNCT__ or to scare american without tell them what to be scare of __PUNCT__ or what to do __PUNCT__

a depart set up to make american_feel safer didn't even show up when bodi drift through the street in new orlean __PUNCT__

that not accept __PUNCT__

my administr will take an approach to homeland_secur guid by risk __PUNCT__

i will establish a quadrenni review at the depart of homeland secur __PUNCT__ just like at the pentagon __PUNCT__ to undertak a top to bottom review of the threat we face and our abil to confront them __PUNCT__

and i will develop a comprehens nation infrastructur protect plan that draw on both local know __PUNCT__ how and nation_prioriti __PUNCT__

we have to put resourc where our infrastructur is most vulner __PUNCT__

that mean tough and perman standard for secur our chemic plant __PUNCT__

improv our capabl to screen cargo and invest in safeguard that will prevent the disrupt of our port __PUNCT__

and make sure our energi sector __PUNCT__ our refineri and pipelin and power grid __PUNCT__ is protect so that terrorist cannot crippl our economi __PUNCT__

we also have to get past a top __PUNCT__ down approach __PUNCT__

folk across america ar the on on the front_line __PUNCT__

on 9/11 __PUNCT__ it wa citizen __PUNCT__ empow by their knowledg of the world_trade_center attack __PUNCT__ who protect our govern by heroic take action on flight___NUM__ to keep it from reach our nation_capit __PUNCT__

when i have inform that can empow american __PUNCT__ i will share it with them __PUNCT__

inform share with state and local_govern must be a two __PUNCT__ wai street __PUNCT__ becaus we never know where the two piec of the puzzl ar that might fit togeth __PUNCT__ the tip from afghanistan __PUNCT__ and the cop who see someth suspici on michigan avenu __PUNCT__

i will increas fund to help train polic to gather_inform and connect it to the intellig thei receiv from the feder_govern __PUNCT__

i will address the problem in our prison __PUNCT__ where the most disaffect and disconnect american ar be explicitli target for convers by al_qaeda and it ideolog alli __PUNCT__

and my administr will not permit more live to be lost becaus emerg respond ar not outfit with the commun capabl and protect equip their job requir __PUNCT__ or becaus the feder_govern is too slow to respond when disast strike __PUNCT__

we been through that on 9/11 __PUNCT__

we been through it dure katrina __PUNCT__

i will ensur that we have the resourc and compet feder leadership we need to support our commun when american_live ar at stake __PUNCT__

but thi effort can't just be about what we ask of our men and women in uniform __PUNCT__

it can't just be about how we spend our time or our monei __PUNCT__

it about the kind of countri we ar __PUNCT__

we ar in the earli_stage of a long struggl __PUNCT__

yet sinc 9/11 __PUNCT__ we heard a lot about what america can't do or shouldn't do or won't even try __PUNCT__

we can't vote against a misguid war in iraq becaus that would make us look weak __PUNCT__ or talk to other countri becaus that would be a reward __PUNCT__

we can't reach out to the hundr of million of muslim who reject terror becaus we worri thei hate us __PUNCT__

we can't protect the homeland becaus there ar too mani target __PUNCT__ or secur our peopl while stai true to our valu __PUNCT__

we can't get past the america of red and blue __PUNCT__ the polit of who up and who down __PUNCT__

that is not the america that i know __PUNCT__

the america i know is the last __PUNCT__ best hope for that child look up at a helicopt __PUNCT__

it the countri that put a man on the moon __PUNCT__ that defeat fascism and help rebuild europ __PUNCT__

it a countri whose strength abroad is measur not just by armi __PUNCT__ but rather by the power of our ideal __PUNCT__ and by our purpos to forg an ever more perfect_union at home __PUNCT__

that the america i know __PUNCT__

we just have to act like it again to write that next chapter in the american stori __PUNCT__

if we do __PUNCT__ we can keep america safe while extend secur and opportun around the world __PUNCT__

we can hold_true to our valu __PUNCT__ and in do so advanc those valu abroad __PUNCT__

and we can be what that child look up at a helicopt need us to be __PUNCT__ the relentless oppon of terror and tyranni __PUNCT__ and the light of hope to the world __PUNCT__

to make thi stori realiti __PUNCT__ it go to take american come togeth and chang the fundament direct of thi countri __PUNCT__

it go to take the servic of a new gener of young_peopl __PUNCT__

it go to take face tragedi head __PUNCT__ on and turn it into the next gener triumph __PUNCT__

that is a challeng that i welcom __PUNCT__

becaus when we do make that chang __PUNCT__ we do more than win a war __PUNCT__ we live up to that call to make_america __PUNCT__ and the world __PUNCT__ safer __PUNCT__ freer __PUNCT__ and more hope than we found it __PUNCT__
