It's consistent with our effort ... for freedom-loving nations around the world to root out ___ and those who support ___ 11 . The reason why we find ourselves in a position of impotency is not because our only powerful, potential enemy has sent men to invade our shores, but rather because of the traitorous actions of those who have been treated so well by this nation. 12 . Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between ___ and ___. The modern champions of ___ have selected this as the time. 13 .
