and what the Army could do
what the Navy could do and what
what the Coast Guard could do...
to me was to know
that I wasn't just
blowing hot air.
I wasn't just making it up.
I knew what
because I know the kind
of troops you guys are.
I know the kind of capability
you have in your weapons.
I know the kind
of capability that exists
and the kind of leadership
that you have.
I know what you are like
because I've seen you
at the national training center
and I visited the 24th
when I was force com
commander last year,
so I knew what the Armed Forces
of the United States could do.
I knew that if
we could do just what he asks us
to do and do it in short order.
And here, in a matter
of 5 weeks and 2 days,
we have assembled
well over 100,000 soldiers.
Well, well over 100,000
soldiers, sailors and Marines,
airmen and Coast Guardsmen and
have put a force in place here
in the kingdom and in the other
nations around the kingdom
that will make it clear
to Saddam Hussein
that he ain't going no further.
The president's put down
the marker
that working with
our other friends,
The United Nations,
Soviet Union,
around the world, the
aggression's going to be stopped
and we won't be satisfied
until Mr. Hussein
takes his army out of Kuwait
and lets the Kuwaiti people
So you guys are
an important part of all that.
You're what makes it possible
play its role in the world.
Um, I sound like
I'm giving a speech
back here in Washington
rather than out here
in the Saudi desert,
but this is the kind of speech
I give back in Washington
to let the Congress know
and to let the American people
know the quality,
quality of the Armed Forces
we have today.
And it's been another
source of pride to see
how the American people
have responded to this
over the last 5 or 6 weeks.
Folks just said "Well,
maybe they won't be
supportive after a few weeks. "
Wrong.
Every passing day,
the support increases.
"Maybe Congress will
start to be uneasy. "
Wrong.
The secretary and I
briefed Congress 2 days ago
of the committee
we were preparing before, the
Senate Armed Services Committee,
supported what we're doing
and supported you guys.
Others have said,
"Well, it'll be too hot.
It'll be too gritty.
It'll be too dusty out there.
Won't they get hot
and tired?"
Soldiers have always
gotten hot and tired!
But you don't know
the kind of soldiers we got!
You don't know the kind
of hoo-ah guys we got,
who can take it and keep going.
