Rebuild our military into an overwhelming American force
I pledge to you, my fellow New Yorkers, that if elected I will [support the following policy on the] Military: Support rebuilding our military into an overwhelming American force to pursue peace through strength; commit to total victory over
Islamic terror and jihad and to preventing a nuclear Iran; and support reform of the VA to eliminate corruption and incompetence and deliver to our veterans the quality and speed of health care that they deserve.
Why I'm Running- Our military might is declining.
- There are terrorists on our soil.
- Our right of self-defense is in jeopardy.
- We don't take care of our veterans, to whom we owe everything.
-
Political correctness is killing us.
- Our military might is declining.
- It's time to put America first.
- We can get our beloved country back.

Bush's anti-terror strategy succeeded; no threat to rights
At the Federalist Society, Attorney General Michael Mukasey delivered a speech of historic proportions: a disarmingly blunt apologia for Bush's legal positions and actions in War on Terror. He put down a marker for the incoming Obama administration:
given the dangers involved and the stakes for the security of Americans, there will have to be a better reason than the empty criticisms voiced to date to justify an Obama departure from the Bush legal architecture.The familiar refrain that the War on
Terror has trampled constitutional rights, civil liberties, and even the rule of law itself rests "on a very dangerous form of amnesia that views the success of our counterterrorism efforts as something that undermines the justification for continuing
them." Because the Administration's strategy has been successful--in the 7 years since 9-11, Al Qaeda hasn't launched another terrorist attack on American soil--the critics seem to assume that Al Qaeda "never posed much of a threat after all."
