Yes, there are reporters in front of me, but they are not our audience today. It's you, the good, decent, patriotic American people. You, the hard working, tax paying, God fearing American patriots. The media here, not all of it, but much of it, wants you to think, just 19 days into this conflict, that we're somehow spinning toward an endless abyss or a forever war or a quagmire. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hear it from me, one of hundreds of thousands who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, who watched previous foolish politicians like Bush, Obama and Biden squander American credibility. (08:40–08:57)
