I Don't Feel Like I've Got All That Much Too Important To Say On The Kind Of Big National Issues.

We've Seen Their Kind Before. The Terrorists Are The Heirs To Fascism. They Have The Same Wield Of Power, The Same Disdain For The Individual, The Same Mad Global Ambitions. And They Will Be Dealt With In Just The Same Way. Like All Fascists, The Terrorists Can Not Be Appeased. They Must Be Defeated. This Struggle Will Not End In A Truce Or A Treaty.

Africa Needs Help, No Question About That But I'd Rather Prefer That The Money Is Channeled. That's What I Call Smart Aid; It's Channeled Through African Civil Society Groups.

From A Philosophical Perspective, I Want To Fight Off Isolationism And Protectionism, Be It Part Of Another Voice Out There That Says, Wait A Minute, What Matters To Women In Afghanistan Matters To America. An Isolationist Point Of View Says It Doesn't Matter. The Articulation Of "all Life Matters" Helps Frame The Case That It Does Matter What Happens To A Woman In Afghanistan.

If I Were A Candidate For Running, I'd Say, "look At What The Economy Has Done." It's Strong. We've Created A Lot Of Jobs. I'd Be Telling People That The Democrats Will Raise Your Taxes. I'd Be Reminding People That Tax Cuts Have Worked In Terms Of Stimulating The Economy.

It's Your Money."

America Has Entered A Great Struggle That Tests Our Strength, And Even More Our Resolve. Our Nation Is Patient And Steadfast. We Continue To Pursue The Terrorists In Cities And Camps And Caves Across The Earth. We Are Joined By A Great Coalition Of Nations To Rid The World Of Terror.

I Think The Key Anecdote In The Book Is When Colin [powell] And I Were Discussing Iraq. Colin Was Upstairs In The Treaty Room, In The Residence.

Hoping For The Best

I Have Assured His Majesty That Our War Is Against Evil, Not Against Islam. There Are Thousands Of Muslims Who Proudly Call Themselves Americans, And They Know What I Know - That The Muslim Faith Is Based Upon Peace And Love And Compassion.

Tony Blair Made Decisions On What He Thought Was Best For The People Of Great Britain, And I Made Decisions On What I Thought Was Best For Americans. And I Really Don't View Our Relationship As One Of Quid Pro Quo. I View Our Relationship As One Of Strong Allies And Friends Working Together For The Common Good.

First Of All, I Don't See America Having Problems.
