"america is under attack from almost every direction"

"american values are under attack from within"

2. Yeah, I found those. But you're right, they ARE rather slippery...

I'm still looking for something real concrete where he's really pinned-down on it.

Thanks for the help!

4. I will post more as I find it...

"The enemy is emboldened by anything other than the strength of America."

''I think we as a nation look with dismay at the ongoing insurgency in Iraq and hope for a speedy conclusion," Romney said. ''But there is not a viable option of walking away as we did in Vietnam, with scenes of helicopters leaving from the roof of the embassy."

''The setting we're in," Romney continued, ''is one where we face not a local enemy, but an enemy to civilization, and therefore, our response must be global and must be sustained and committed."
