Here are excerpts of his speech taken from www.herzliyaconference.org:
“I am glad to be in Israel again, in a country I love with people I love. It’s been ten years since I was last here. The country has changed. It is a lot greener with a lot more trees, and also has more highways. However, I was struck by how vibrant the economy is. As someone who worked in the private sector, I am impressed with Israel’s resilience.”
“The world has also changed. Unfortunately, many have not caught up with the strategic paradigm. Many years ago, the Arab-Israeli conflict was looked at as a regional conflict that dragged on, but it was not looked at as part of a global threat. September 11th should have changed that. Resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict will not mollify the Jihadists. It has been the oldest most radical front of the Islamic jihad in the world. This has not been about borders. This is about the failure for them to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist. … “
“The focus in the United States is on Iraq now-a-days. This has been a painful time for the U.S. as of late with as many deaths of our soldiers as we have had. With as many mistakes as the U.S. has made, we are committed to making every effort for success in Iraq. There are some Congressional leaders arguing that the President is not allowed to authorize more forces in Iraq – this is not true.”
“The heart of the Jihadist threat is Iran. Iran’s leaders and ambitions represent the greatest threat the world has seen since Communism and Nazism before that. Ahmedinijad is a horrible leader as he denies the Holocaust, but his main purpose of denying the Holocaust is to deny the state of Israel. He is testing the waters to see who responds. This threat would take on a new dimension if they were allowed nuclear power. This could be the tipping point of development and proliferation of nuclear weapons.”
“We need to dispense with three wishful lines of thinking. 1) We hope that Iran’s weakening economy will end the leadership. 2) It is possible to live with a nuclear Iran – thinking that Iran, once being allowed to join the nuclear club, will act responsibly. 3) There is deterrence, like their was in Soviet Russia, but the Russians were never suicidal. This cannot be said for a regime that celebrates martyrdom. …”
“Attempting to defeat totalitarianism in the last century did not always show that the west would win. We were afraid of major losses. We did not lose though. In the current conflict, we can lose only by not lifting a finger to help ourselves. It is time for the world to speak three truths: 1) Iran must be stopped; 2) Iran can be stopped; 3) Iran will be stopped!”
