There Are Cameras Nowadays That Have Been Developed To Tell The Difference Between A Squirrel And A Bomb.

I Feel That It's Important Our Professionals Have The Tools To Keep The Enemy, To Stop Their Attacks.

The Ambassador And The General Were Briefing Me On The....the Vast Majority Of Iraqis Want To Live In A Peaceful, Free World. And We Will Find These People And We Will Bring Them To Justice.

Our Plan Will Not Favor Religious Institutions Over Nonreligious Institutions. As President, I'm Interested In What Is Constitutional And I'm Interested In What Works.

And One Thing We Want During This War On Terror Is For People To Feel Like Their Life's Moving On, That They're Able To Make A Living And Send Their Kids To College And Put More Money On The Table.

Reading History While You Make History Can Teach You A Lot.

Reading History

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. And We Will Not Allow Any Terrorist Or Tyrant To Threaten Civilization With Weapons Of Mass Murder. Now And In The Future, Americans Will Live As Free People, Not In Fear, And Never At The Mercy Of Any Foreign Plot Or Power.

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.

You Know, Obviously I Wish The Violence Would Go Down, But Not As Much As The Iraqi Citizens Would Wish The Violence Would Go Down. But, Incredibly Enough, They Showed Great Courage, And They Want Our Help.

The Iraqi Regime . . . Possesses And Produces Chemical And Biological Weapons. It Is Seeking Nuclear Weapons. We Know That The Regime Has Produced Thousands Of Tons Of Chemical Agents, Including Mustard Gas, Sarin Nerve Gas, Vx Nerve Gas.

Approval Rating

For Me, I Learned From My Father That When It's Over, It's Over.

I Was Popular At Some Times And Not So Popular At Other Times. But What Mattered Was Trying To Solve Problems And Deal With Circumstances. Some Of Which I Was Able To Anticipate. Some Of Which Caught Us Totally By Surprise.

The Fight Against Terrorism Is Not Limited To America. Europe, Russia, Indonesia, Australia, The Phillipines, All Have Had Their Share Of It, And All The Leaders Have Been Very Cooperative In Our Efforts. But It Is For America To Lead, And We Will.

This Business About Graceful Exit Just Simply Has No Realism To It At All.

We've Got A Lot Of Relations With Countries In Our Neighborhood.

Fool Me Once, Shame On - Shame On You. Fool Me - You Can't Get Fooled Again.

American Nation Will Not Wait To Be Attacked Again. We Will Defend Our Freedom And We Will Take The Fight To The Enemy.

Governor Bush Will Not Stand For The Subsidation Of Failure.

Political Humor

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.

If There's Any Comparison Between The Compassion And Decency Of The American People And The Terrorist Tactics Of Extremists, It's Flawed Logic. It's Just I Simply Can't Accept That. It's Unacceptable To Think That There's Any Kind Of Comparison Between The Behavior Of The United States Of America And The Action Of Islamic Extremists Who Kill Innocent Women And Children To Achieve An Objective.

In Order For The U.n. To Be Effective, There Must Be Consequences If People Thumb Their Nose At The United Nations Security Council. And We Will Work With People On The Security Council To Achieve That Objective.

Men Are Like Bank Accounts. Without A Lot Of Money They Don't Generate A Lot Of Interest.

Let Me Put It To You This Way, I Am Not A Revengeful Person.

We Concluded That Tomorrow Is A Moment Of Truth For The World. Many Nations Have Voiced A Commitment To Peace And Security, And Now They Must Demonstrate That Commitment To Peace And Security In The Only Effective Way: By Supporting The Immediate And Unconditional Disarmament Of Saddam Hussein.

I Have Made Education A Top Priority Of This Administration Because When We Get It Right, When Every Child Learns, America Will Be A More Hopeful Place.

I Feel A Special Kinship For Our Military. Because, Unfortunately, I Became A Wartime President. And Committed Our Military In The Defense Of Our Country To Difficult Assignments. I Tell People All The Time, I Don't Miss Much About Being President; I Do Miss Looking In The Eyes Of People Who Volunteered To Serve. And So Not Only Do I Feel A Kinship, I Feel An Obligation And A Duty To Help.

I Frankly Felt Like The Reception We Received On The Way In From The Airport Was Very Warm And Hospitable. And I Want To Thank The Canadian People Who Came Out To Wave -- With All Five Fingers -- For Their Hospitality.

Not Over My Dead Body Will They Raise Your Taxes.

I'd Like To Be A President [known] As Somebody Who Liberated 50 Million People And Helped Achieve Peace.

But I'm Mindful In A Free Society That People Can Worship If They Want To Or Not. You're Equally An American If You Choose To Worship An Almighty And If You Choose Not To. If You're A Christian, Jew Or Muslim You're Equally An American. That's The Great Thing About America Is The Right To Worship The Way You See Fit. Prayer And Religion Sustain Me. I Receive Calmness In The Storms Of The Presidency. I Love The Fact That People Pray For Me And My Family All Around The Country. Somebody Asked Me One Time, How Do You Know? I Said I Just Feel It.

For Decades, Free Nations Tolerated Oppression In The Middle East For The Sake Of Stability. In Practice, This Approach Brought Little Stability And Much Oppression, So I Have Changed This Policy.

After All, Religion Has Been Around A Lot Longer Than Darwinism.

Now, We Have Inscribed A New Memory Alongside Those Others. It's A Memory Of Tragedy And Shock, Of Loss And Mourning. But Not Only Of Loss And Mourning. It's Also A Memory Of Bravery And Self-sacrifice, And The Love That Lays Down Its Life For A Friend-even A Friend Whose Name It Never Knew.

I'm Talking About Living Life To Its Fullest.

Freedom Is The Direction Of History, Because Freedom Is The Permanent Hope Of Humanity.

When A Drug Comes In From Canada, I Wanna Make Sure It Cures Ya, Not Kill Ya... I've Got An Obligation To Make Sure Our Government Does Everything We Can To Protect You. And One - My Worry Is That It Looks Like It's From Canada, And It Might Be From A Third World.

First Of All, In Principle, I'm Against Physician-assisted Suicide, And Secondly, I Believe It Is The Prerogative Of The Federal Government To Control Drug Rules.
