 The terrorist group Hamas unleashed pure unadulterated evil in the world. States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world. Fellow citizens, the Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax and nerve gas and nuclear weapons arming to threaten the peace of the world by seeking weapons of mass destruction. But we did not find those weapons. I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children. These regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. The price of indifference would be catastrophic. We will work closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their state sponsors the materials, technology and expertise to make and deliver weapons of mass destruction. To ensure our nation's security. Making sure Israel and Ukraine succeed is vital for America's national security. Yet time is not on our side. We're facing an inflection point in history. We're the United States of America. God's sake. The most powerful nation in the history, not in the world, in the history of the world. The history of the world. Freedom, independence, self-determination. America is a beacon to the world. Still, still, the indispensable nation. Tonight there are innocent people all over the world who hope because of us who believe in a better life because of us who are desperate not to be forgotten but by us and are waiting for us.
