The Face Of Terror Is Not The True Faith Of Islam. That's Not What Islam Is All About. Islam Is Peace. These Terrorists Don't Represent Peace. They Represent Evil And War.

Congratulations

We Have Now Reached A Turning Point In The Struggle Between Freedom And Terror.

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.

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.

We Need To Have Mentoring Programs Energized By Government, Paid For By Government, But Who Exist Not Because Of Government. Teen Challenge Is A Way To Get People Off Drugs And Alcohol. Teen Challenge Is A Faith-based Program That Changes People's Hearts.

In The Future History Will Be Made Only By Us.

As Far As The Legal Hassling And Wrangling And Posturing In Florida, I Would Suggest You Talk To Our Team In Florida Led By Jim Baker.

I Think It Is A Worthy Goal In America To Have Every Child Protected By Law And Welcomed In Life. I Also Think We Ought To Continue To Have Good Adoption Law As An Alternative To Abortion.

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."

In The Corporate World, Sometimes Things Aren`t Exactly Black And White When It Comes To Accounting Procedures.

St. Patrick's Day Also Serves As A Time For People Of Irish Descent From All Traditions And Religions To Honor Their Native Land And Shared Heritage. Their Devotion To Family, Faith, And Community Has Strengthened Our Country's Character.

We Have Learned That Terrorist Attacks Are Not Caused By The Use Of Strength; They Are Invited By The Perception Of Weakness. And The Surest Way To Avoid Attacks On Our Own People Is To Engage The Enemy Where He Lives And Plans. We Are Fighting That Enemy In Iraq And Afghanistan Today So That We Do Not Meet Him Again On Our Own Streets, In Our Own Cities.

I Firmly Believe In The Power Of Intercessory Prayer; And I Know That I Could Not Do My Job Without It.

Whatever It Took To Help Taiwan Defend Theirself.

I Hope We Get To The Bottom Of The Answer. It's What I'm Interested To Know.

It Is Clear That The Future Of Freedom And Peace Depend On The Actions Of America. This Nation Is Freedom's Home. We Are Freedom's Defender. We Welcome This Charge Of History, And We Are Keeping It. The War On Terror Continues. The Enemies Of Freedom Are Not Idle. And Neither Are We. This Country Will Not Rest, We Will Not Tire, We Will Not Stop Until This Danger To Civilization Is Removed.

We've Got To Have All Those Tools. The Patriot Act Tearing Down Those Walls Between Intel And Law Enforcement Are A Necessary Part Of Protecting The Country. But, In The Long Term, The Only Way To Defeat This Terrorist Bunch Is Through The Spread Of Liberty And Freedom. And That's A Big Challenge. I Understand It's A Challenge. It Requires Commitment And Patience And Persistence.

The Biggest Threat Facing America Is Terrorists With Weapons Of Mass Destruction.

Mass Destruction

I Have Zero Desire, Just So You Know, To Be In The Limelight. I Don't Think It's Good For The Country To Have A Former President Criticize His Successor. You're Not Going To See Me Giving My Opinions In The Public Arena, Until I Start Selling My Book. I'm Going To Emerge Then Submerge.

I Want To Remind You All That In Order To Fight And Win The War, It Requires An Expenditure Of Money That Is Commiserate With Keeping A Promise To Our Troops To Make Sure That They're Well Paid, Well Trained, Well Equipped.

I Don't Have To Accept Their Tenants. I Was Trying To Convince Those College Students To Accept My Tenants. And I Reject Any Labeling Me Because I Happened To Go To The University.

Some Of The Scientists, I Believe, Haven't They Been Changing Their Opinion A Little Bit On Global Warming? There's A Lot Of Differing Opinions And Before We React I Think It's Best To Have The Full Accounting, Full Understanding Of What's Taking Place.

There's A Lot Of People In The Middle East Who Are Desirous To Get Into The Mitchell Process. And - But First Things First.

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. They're Trying To Thwart The Will Of Millions Who Simply Want A Normal, Hopeful Life. That's What We're Seeing.

We Passed Law That Encouraged Consumption Through Different Purchasing Habits Like, You Know, Hybrid Vehicles. You Buy Hybrid, You Get A Tax Credit. We've Encouraged The Spread Of Ethanol As An Alternative To Crude Oil. We Have Asked For Congress To Pass Regulatory Relief So We Can Build More Refineries To Increase The Supply Of Gasoline, Hopefully Taking The Pressure Off Of Price. And So The Strategy Is To Recognize That Dependency Upon Crude Oil, In A Global Market, Affects Us Economically Here At Home. And, Therefore, We Need To Diversify Away As Quickly As Possible.

We Know That Dictators Are Quick To Choose Aggression, While Free Nations Strive To Resolve Differences In Peace.

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

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?"

And That's What's Happening.

Well, I Think The Most Realistic Ways To Keep Them [saddam Hussien & Slobadon Milisevic] Isolated In The World Of Public Opinion And To Work With Our Alliance Is To Keep Them Isolated. I'm Just As Frustrated As Many Americans Are That Saddam Hussein Still Lives. I Think We Ought To Keep The Pressure On Him. I Will Tell You This: If We Catch Him Developing Weapons Of Mass Destruction In Any Way, Shape Or Form, I'll Deal With That In A Way That He Won't Like.

Mass Destruction

We Will Stay The Course Until The Job Is Done, Steve. And The Temptation Is To Try To Get The President Or Somebody To Put A Timetable On The Definition Of Getting The Job Done. We're Just Going To Stay The Course.

North Korea Is A Regime Arming With Missiles And Weapons Of Mass Destruction, While Starving Its Citizens.

The Advance Of Liberty Is The Path To Both A Safer And Better World.

I Want It To Be Said That The Bush Administration Was A Results-oriented Administration, Because I Believe The Results Of Focusing Our Attention And Energy On Teaching Children To Read And Having An Education System That's Responsive To The Child And To The Parents, As Opposed To Mired In A System That Refuses To Change, Will Make America What We Want It To Be - A More Literate Country And A Hopefuller Country.

I Do Not Believe The Promises Of The Declaration Of Independence Are Just For The Strong, The Independent, The Healthy. They Are For Everyone-including Unborn Children.

Ours Is A War Not Against A Religion, Not Against The Muslim Faith. But Ours Is A War Against Individuals Who Absolutely Hate What America Stands For, And Hate The Freedom Of The Czech Republic.

As Individuals, We Know That Suffering Is Temporary, And Hope Is Eternal.

I Didn't Grow Up In The Ocean -- As A Matter Of Fact -- Near The Ocean -- I Grew Up In The Desert. Therefore, It Was A Pleasant Contrast To See The Ocean. And I Particularly Like It When I'm Fishing.

I Strongly Oppose Cloning, As Do Most Americans. We Recoil At The Idea Of Growing Human Beings For Spare Body Parts Or Creating Life For Our Convenience. And While We Must Devote Enormous Energy To Conquering Disease, It Is Equally Important That We Pay Attention To The Moral Concerns Raised By The New Frontier Of Human Embryo Stem Cell Research. Even The Most Noble Ends Do Not Justify Any Means.

I Will Reach Out To Others And Explain Why I Make The Decisions I Make.

Free Societies Are Hopeful Societies. And Free Societies Will Be Allies Against These Hateful Few Who Have No Conscience, Who Kill At The Whim Of A Hat.

Our Two Nations Both Faced Great Challenges When They Were Founded, And Our Two Nations Have Both Relied On The Same Principles To Help Us Succeed. We've Built Strong Democracies To Protect The Freedoms Given To Us By An Almighty God. We've Welcomed Immigrants, Who Have Helped Us Thrive. We've Built Prosperous Economies By Rewarding Innovation And Risk-taking And Trade. And We've Built An Enduring Alliance To Confront Terrorists And Tyrants.

My Meetings With [ahmed Chalabi] Were Very Brief. I Mean, I Think I Met With Him At The State Of The Union And Just Kind Of Working Through The Rope Line, And He Might Have Come With A Group Of Leaders. But I Haven't Had Any Extensive Conversations With Him.
