There Is A Natural Greenhouse Effect That Contributes To Warming. Greenhouse Gases Trap Heat And Thus Warm The Earth Because They Prevent A Significant Portion Of Infrared Radiation From Escaping Into Space.

Today The Iraqi And Afghan People Are On The Path To Democracy And Freedom. The Governments That Are Rising Will Pose No Threat To Others. Instead Of Harboring Terrorists, They're Fighting Terrorist Groups. And This Progress Is Good For The Long-term Security Of All Of Us.

The Pentagon Is Constantly Adjusting Tactics Because They Have The Flexibility From The White House To Do So. The Strategy Is To Help The Iraqi People Achieve Their Objectives And Their Dreams, Which Is A Democratic Society. That's The Strategy. The Tactics It's Important That We Stay There And Get It Done; Or We Leave. We're Not Leaving So Long As I'm The President. That Would Be A Huge Mistake.

One Of The Most Meaningful Things That's Happened To Me Since I've Been The Governor - The President - Governor - President. Oops. Ex-governor.

I Strongly Believe That Marriage Should Be Defined As Between A Man And A Woman. I'm Troubled By Activist Judges Who Are Defining Marriage. I've Watched Carefully What's Happened In San Francisco Where Licenses Were Being Issued, Even Though The Law States Otherwise. I Have Consistently Stated That I Will Support Law To Protect Marriage Between A Man And A Woman. And Obviously These Events Are Influencing My Decision.

Obviously I Pray Every Day There's Less Casualty.

This World He Created Is Of Moral Design. Grief And Tragedy And Hatred Are Only For A Time. Goodness, Remembrance, And Love Have No End, And The Lord Of Life Holds All Who Die And All Who Mourn... Neither Death Nor Life Nor Angels Nor Principalities, Nor Powers Nor Things Present Nor Things To Come Nor Height Nor Depth Can Separate Us From God's Love.

I Believe It Is In The National Interest That Government Stand Side-by-side With People Of Faith Who Work To Change Lives For The Better. I Understand In The Past, Some In Government Have Said Government Cannot Stand Side-by-side With People Of Faith. Let Me Put It More Bluntly, Government Can't Spend Money On Religious Programs Simply Because There's A Rabbi On The Board, Cross On The Wall, Or A Crescent On The Door. I Viewed This As Not Only Bad Social Policy - Because Policy By-passed The Great Works Of Compassion And Healing That Take Place - I Viewed It As Discrimination.

You Can't Have A Democracy With An Armed Political Party Willing To Bomb Its Neighbor Without The Consent Of Its Government Or, You Know, Just Deciding, "well, Let's Create Enough Chaos And Discord By Lobbing Rockets. And So The Reality Is In Order For Lebanon To Succeed And We Want Lebanon's Democracy To Succeed The Process Is Going To The Lebanese Government's Eventually Going To Have To Deal With Hezbollah.

The Best Way To Encourage Economic Vitality And Growth Is To Let People Keep Their Own Money.when You Spend Your Own Money, Somebody's Got To Manufacture That Which You're Spending It On. You See, More Money In The Private Sector Circulating Makes It More Likely That Our Economy Will Grow. And, Incredibly Enough, Some Want To Take Away Part Of Those Tax Cuts. They've Been Reading The Wrong Textbook. You Don't Raise Somebody's Taxes In The Middle Of A Recession. You Trust People With Their Own Money. And, By The Way, That Money Isn't The Government's Money; It's The People's Money.

Anyone Engaging In Illegal Financial Transactions Will Be Caught And Persecuted.

In Addition To Declaring And Destroying All Of Its Weapons Of Mass Destruction, Iraq Must End Its Support For Terrorism. It Must Cease The Persecution Of Its Civilian Population. It Must Stop All Illicit Trade Outside The Oil-for-food Program. And It Must Release Or Account For All Gulf War Personnel, Including An American Pilot, Whose Fate Is Still Unknown. By Taking These Steps, And Only By Taking These Steps, The Iraqi Regime Has An Opportunity To Avoid Conflict. These Steps Would Also Change The Nature Of The Iraqi Regime Itself.
