This needs to be a comprehensive, ongoing, sustained effort. We have to stand strong against our adversaries and stand strong with our allies, and we have to do it consistently and we have to do it over time, and we have to be steadfast. Thats the type of Foreign Policy that can be effective. Thats the type of Foreign Policy we need to undertake.
