For Most Of The World, There's No Greater Symbol Of America Than The Statue Of Liberty. It Has Been An Inspiration To Generations Of Immigrants. One Of These Immigrants Was A Poet-writer Named Ameen Rihani. Gazing At Her Lamp Held High, He Wondered Whether Her Sister Might Be Erected In The Lands Of His Arab Forefathers. Here Is How He Put It: "when Will You Turn Your Face Toward The East, Oh Liberty?"

The Terrorists Know That The Outcome Will Leave Them Emboldened Or Defeated. So They Are Waging A Campaign Of Murder And Destruction. And There Is No Limit To The Innocent Lives They Are Willing To Take.

Evil Knows No Holiday.

The Administration Took Care Of A Source Of Instability In Iraq. Envision A World In Which Saddam Hussein Was Rushing For A Nuclear Weapon To Compete Against Iran. My Decision To Remove Saddam Hussein Was The Correct Decision In My Judgment. We Didn't Find The Weapons We Thought We Would Find Or The Weapons Everybody Thought He Had. But He Was A Significant Source Of Instability.

The Threat From Iran Is, Of Course, Their Stated Objective To Destroy Our Strong Ally Israel. That's A Threat, A Serious Threat. It's A Threat To World Peace; It's A Threat, In Essence, To A Strong Alliance. I Made It Clear, I'll Make It Clear Again, That We Will Use Military Might To Protect Our Ally, Israel.

What Our Enemies Have Begun, We Will Finish.

The Legislature's Job Is To Write Law. It's The Executive Branch's Job To Interpret Law.

Uganda's Budget Is 40 Percent Aid-dependent. Ghana's Budget Is 50 Percent Aid-dependent. Even If You Cancel The Debt, You Don't Eliminate That Aid Dependency. This Is What I Mean By Getting To The Fundamental Root Causes Of The Problem.

The Cornerstone Of Our Policy In That Part Of The World Is To Help Democracies. Lebanon's A Democracy. We Want The Siniora Government To Succeed.

As Americans, We Want Peace - We Work And Sacrifice For Peace. But There Can Be No Peace If Our Security Depends On The Will And Whims Of A Ruthless And Aggressive Dictator. I'm Not Willing To Stake One American Life On Trusting Saddam Hussein.

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. America Hopes The Regime Will Make That Choice.

I Have A Duty To Protect The Executive Branch From Legislative Encroachment.

I Do Know That It’s Important For Us To Support The Iraqi People, Who Have Shown Incredible Courage In Their Desire To Live In A Free Society. And If We Ever Give Up The Desire To Help People Who Live In Freedom, We Will Have Lost Our Soul As A Nation, As Far As I’m Concerned.

These Acts Of Mass Murder Were Intended To Frighten Our Nation Into Chaos And Retreat.but They Have Failed; Our Country Is Strong.

Ultimately, Success Is Going To Be Up To The Reformers, Just Like In Iraq. It's Going To Require Iraqis, The Will Of Iraqis To Succeed. I Understand That. And That's Why Our Strategy Is To Give Them The Tools Necessary To Defend Themselves And Help Them Defend Themselves; In This Case Right Now Mainly In Baghdad, But As Well Around The Country.

Prayer Is A Gift From Almighty God That Transforms Us, Whether We Bow Our Heads In Solitude, Or Offer Swift And Silent Prayers In Times Of Trial. Prayer Humbles Us By Reminding Us Of Our Place In Creation. Prayer Strengthens Us By Reminding Us That God Loves And Cares For Each And Every Soul In His Creation. And Prayer Blesses Us By Reminding Us That There Is A Divine Plan That Stands Above All Human Plans.

Through Centuries Of Struggle, Jews Across The World Have Been Witnesses Not Only Against The Crimes Of Men, But For Faith In God And God Alone. Theirs Is A Story Of Defiance And Oppression, And Patience In Tribulation Reaching Back To The Exodus And Their Exile. That Story Continued In The Founding Of The State Of Israel. That Story Continues In The Defense Of The State Of Israel.

What's Very Interesting About The Violence In Lebanon And The Violence In Iraq And The Violence In Gaza Is This: These Are All Groups Of Terrorists Who Are Trying To Stop The Advance Of Democracy.

"americans Do Not Presume To Equate God's Purposes With Any Purpose Of Our Own...."[prayer] Teaches Us To Trust, To Accept That God's Plan Unfolds In His Time, Not Our Own.

Well, My Message Is, Is That If You Harbor A Terrorist, You're A Terrorist. If You Feed A Terrorist, You're A Terrorist. If You Develop Weapons Of Mass Destruction That You Want To Terrorize The World, You'll Be Held Accountable. . . . If Anybody Harbors A Terrorist, They're A Terrorist. If They Fund A Terrorist, They're A Terrorist. If They House Terrorists, They're Terrorists. I Mean, I Can't Make It Any More Clearly To Other Nations Around The World. If They Develop Weapons Of Mass Destruction That Will Be Used To Terrorize Nations, They Will Be Held Accountable.

Race And Color Should Not Divide Us, Because America Is One Country.

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. And He Talks About His Concerns About The Use Of Military In Iraq. And I Said I Felt The Same Concerns, But It Might Be That We Have To Use It. In Which Case, He Said, "i Support You."

As Iraqi Forces Gain Experience And The Political Process Advances, We Will Be Able To Decrease Our Troop Level In Iraq Without Losing Our Capability To Defeat The Terrorists. These Decisions About Troop Levels Will Be Driven By The Conditions On The Ground In Iraq And The Good Judgment Of Our Commanders, Not By Artificial Timetables Set By Politicians In Washington.

I've Watched Politics For Years. Republicans Rarely Get Credit For The Good Things That Happen In The Economy During Their Watch. Democrats Always Get More Credit Than They Deserve. They Are Just Better At Political Discourse That We Are.

Civil Society People - These Are The People - Civil Society Groups Are The People Who Need To Monitor The Aid To Ensure That The Aid Is Directed To What It Is Supposed To. And In Order For Them To Do So, They Need To Have The Space, They Need To Have The Freedom, And They Need To Have The Right To Demonstrate, And To Petition Their Government.
