We Reject The Killing Of Innocents To Achieve A Radical And Violent Agenda. The Terrorists And Their State Sponsors, Iran And Syria, Have A Much Darker Vision. They're Working To Thwart The Efforts That Of The Lebanese People To Break Free From Foreign Domination And Build Their Own Democratic Future. The Terrorists And Their Sponsors Are Not Going To Succeed. The Lebanese People Have Made It Clear They Want To Live In Freedom. And Now It's Up To Their Friends And Allies To Help Them Do So.

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.

Here Is How He Put It: "when Will You Turn Your Face Toward The East, Oh Liberty?"

I Believe That We Will Succeed In Iraq, Because, One, The Iraqis Want To Live In A Free Society. And, Two, That The Iraqis Want To Take The Fight To The Enemy.

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.

The Great Tradition Of America Is One Where People Can Worship The Way They Want To Worship. And If They Choose Not To Worship, They're Just As Patriotic As Your Neighbor. That Is An Essential Part Of Why We Are A Great Nation. If You're A Jew Or A Christian Or A Muslim, You're Equally American.

We Reflect On What Has Been Lost And Comfort Those Enduring A Profound Grief. And Somehow We Know That A Brighter Morning Will Come.

Terrorist Attacks Can Shake The Foundations Of Our Biggest Buildings, But They Cannot Touch The Foundation Of America. These Acts Shatter Steel, But They Cannot Dent The Steel Of American Resolve.

We Have Also Discovered Through Intelligence That Iraq Has A Growing Fleet Of Manned And Unmanned Aerial Vehicles That Could Be Used To Disperse Chemical Or Biological Weapons Across Broad Areas.

We Are A Caring Nation, And Our Values Should Also Guide Us On How We Harness The Gifts Of Science. New Medical Breakthroughs Bring The Hope Of Cures For Terrible Diseases And Treatments That Can Improve The Lives Of Millions.

If Our Commanders On The Ground Say We Need More Troops, I Will Send Them. But Our Commanders Tell Me They Have The Number Of Troops They Need To Do Their Job.

The Worst Of Nature Brings Out The Best In Our Fellow Human Beings.

Faith-based Organizations Also Need A Guarantee They Will Not Be Forced To Give Up Their Right To Hire People Of Their Own Faith As The Price Of Competing For Federal Money. If We Want This Program To Be Effective And To Save Lives, People Have Got To Say Interfacing With Government Will Not Cause Me To Lose My Mission.

I Would Like To Remembered As President As Somebody Who Did Not Compromise Principles In Order To Try To Be Loved Or Liked.

It Would Be Helpful If We Opened Up Anwr. I Think It's A Mistake Not To. And I Would Urge You All To Travel Up There And Take A Look At It, And You Can Make The Determination As To How Beautiful That Country Is.

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'm The Commander -- See, I Don't Need To Explain -- I Do Not Need To Explain Why I Say Things. That's The Interesting Thing About Being President.

I Know What I Believe. I Will Continue To Articulate What I Believe And What I Believe - I Believe What I Believe Is Right.

I Am Very Comfortable With The Strategic Decisions That I Made.

Democrats In Washington Predicted That Tax Cuts Would Not Create Jobs, Would Not Increase Wages, And Would Cause The Federal Deficit To Explode. Well, The Facts Are In.

The Crew Of The Shuttle Columbia Did Not Return Safely To Earth; Yet We Can Pray That All Are Safely Home.

We Come Before God To Pray For The Missing And The Dead, And For Those Who Loved Them... Our Purpose As A Nation Is Firm, Yet Our Wounds As A People Are Recent And Unhealed And Lead Us To Pray... 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.

This Crusade, This War On Terrorism Is Going To Take A While.

The Do-not-call Registry Is Still Being Challenged In Court. Yet, The Conclusions Of The American People, The Legislative Branch, And The Executive Branch Are Beyond Question.

Executive Branch

A Dictatorship Would Be A Heck Of A Lot Easier, There's No Question About It. Dealing With Congress Is A Matter Of Give And Take. The President Doesn't Get Everything He Wants, The Congress Doesn't Get Everything They Want. But We're Finding Good Common Ground.

I Think We're Making Progress. We Understand Where The Power Of This Country Lay. It Lies In The Hearts And Souls Of Americans. It Must Lay In Our Pocketbooks. It Lies In The Willingness For People To Work Hard.

This Is My Maiden Voyage. My First Speech Since I Was The President Of The United States And I Couldn't Think Of A Better Place To Give It Than Calgary, Canada.

War Has Been Waged Against Us By Stealth And Deceit And Murder. This Nation Is Peaceful, But Fierce When Stirred To Anger. This Conflict Was Begun On The Timing And Terms Of Others. It Will End In A Way, And At An Hour, Of Our Choosing.

I Think It's Very Important For People Who Are Serving (in Office) To Make Sure There's A Separation Of Church And State.

A Lot Of People In The Usa Probably Don't Understand How Important They Are To The Mortgage Markets. And It's Really Important For People To Have Confidence In The Mortgage Markets And That There Be Stability In The Mortgage Markets.

Congratulations

It's Hard To Plan And Plot Attacks Against America If You're On The Run, And That's Exactly What Our Brave Professionals Are Doing.

We Cannot Step Aside And Say That We Have Achieved Our Goal By Inventing A New Drug Or A New Way By Which To Treat Presently Incurable Diseases, A New Way To Help Those Who Suffer From Malnutrition, Or The Creation Of Ideal Balanced Diets On A Worldwide Scale.

I Take Pride In Being The Same Person.

The Person Who Runs Fema Is Someone Who Must Have The Trust Of The President Because The Person Who Runs Fema Is The First Voice Oftentimes Of Someone Whose Life Has Been Turned Upside Down Here's From.

Sometimes It Can Seem That History Is Turning In A Wide Arc, Toward An Unknown Shore. Yet The Destination Of History Is Determined By Human Action, And Every Great Movement Of History Comes To A Point Of Choosing.

It Is Time To Set Aside The Old Partisan Bickering And Finger-pointing And Name-calling That Comes From Freeing Parents To Make Different Choices For Their Children.

We Got Plenty Of Money In Washington. What We Need Is More Priority.

I Knew It Might Put Him In An Awkward Position That We Had A Discussion Before Finality Has Finally Happened In This Presidential Race.

I Was Raised In The West. The West Of Texas. It's Pretty Close To California. In More Ways Than Washington, D.c., Is Close To California.

There Needs To Be Debates, Like We're Going Through. There Needs To Be Townhall Meetings. There Needs To Be Travel. This Is A Huge Country.

We're Now Interested In Finding Those Who May Attack America And Arrest Them Before They Do. We've Had Over Nearly A Thousand People Have Been Detained In America And Questioned About Their Motives And Their Intentions.

Those Who Make War Against The United States Have Chosen Their Own Destruction.

There Are A Lot Of Tactical Decisions That, If I Could Have Done Them Over, I Would Have.

You Cannot Solve A Problem Unless You Diagnose The Problem.

It Is A Tough Choice. In War, People Die. But When We Refuse To Confront The Enemy, We Will Face The Enemy In New York And Washington, As We Did On 9-11. As For Responsiblity, Of Course We Stand By Our Decision To Go To War On Iraq. President Kennedy Said That Friend And Foe Alike Should Know Where America Stands.

The Course Of This Conflict Is Not Known, Yet Its Outcome Is Certain. Freedom And Fear, Justice And Cruelty, Have Always Been At War, And We Know That God Is Not Neutral Between Them.

My Job Is To Think Beyond The Immediate.

The U.s. Liberated Iraq From A Tyrant. I Think The Iraqi People Owe The American People A Huge Debt Of Gratitude, And I Believe Most Iraqis Express That. I Mean, The People Understand That We've Endured Great Sacrifice To Help Them. That's The Problem Here In America. They Wonder Whether Or Not There Is A Gratitude Level That's Significant Enough In Iraq.

I Think I Was Unprepared For War.

That Road To V-e Day Was Hard And Long, And Traveled By Weary And Valiant Men. And History Will Always Record Where That Road Began. It Began Here, With The First Footprints On The Beaches Of Normandy.

There's A Lot Of People In The Middle East Who Are Desirous To Get Into The Mitchell Process. And - But First Things First. The - These Terrorist Acts And, You Know, The Responses Have Got To End In Order For Us To Get The Framework - The Groundwork - Not Framework, The Groundwork To Discuss A Framework For Peace, To Lay The - All Right.

On The Issue Of Evolution, The Verdict Is Still Out On How God Created The Earth.

It Says Something About Our Country That People Around The World Are Willing To Leave Their Homes And Leave Their Families And Risk Everything To Come To America. Their Talent And Hard Work And Love Of Freedom Have Helped Make America The Leader Of The World. And Our Generation Will Ensure That America Remains A Beacon Of Liberty And The Most Hope Fill Society This World Has Ever Known.

The More You Defend In The Face Of A Critical Audience, The More You Polarize.

Definition Of Victory Which Is Really An Important Thing For The American People To Understand Is That We Have An Ally In The War On Terror, That Democracy Is Able To Sustain Itself And Defend Itself, And The Iraqi People Feel That The Security Forces That We've Trained Up Are Capable Of Defending Themselves Against The Violent.

I'm Absolutely Confident That The Actions We Took In Iraq Are Influencing Reformers And Freedom Lovers In The Greater Middle East. And I Believe That You're Going To See The Rise Of Democracy In Many Countries In The Broader Middle East, Which Will Lay The Foundation For Peace.

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. Government, The State Sectors In Many African Countries Need To Be Slashed So That, You Know, You Put A Greater Deal Of Reliance On The Private Sector. The Private Sector Is The Engine Of Growth. Africa's Economy Needs To Grow But They're Not Growing.

Evil Knows No Holiday.

Through Much Of The Last Century, America's Faith In Freedom And Democracy Was A Rock In A Raging Sea. Now It Is A Seed Upon The Wind, Taking Root In Many Nations.

In Spite Of Conflicting Signals - And In Spite Of A Popular Culture That Sometimes Puts Down Their Innocence - Most Of Our Kids Are Good Kids. Large Numbers Do Volunteer Work. Nearly All Believe In God, And Most Practice Their Faith. Teen Pregnancy And Violence Are Actually Going Down. Across America, Under A Program Called True Love Waits, Nearly A Million Teens Have Pledged Themselves To Abstain From Sex Until Marriage.

My Faith Plays A Big Part In My Life. And When I Was Answering That Question What I Was Really Saying To The Person Was That I Pray A Lot. And I Do. And My Faith Is A Very, It's Very Personal. I Pray For Strength. I Pray For Wisdom. I Pray For Our Troops In Harm's Way. I Pray For My Family. I Pray For My Little Girls.

I Would Like People To Understand The Rationale For My Embryonic Stem Cell Research Decision And How The Process Became Distorted Over Time.

I Believe The World Would Have Been A Lot Worse Off If Saddam [hussein] Were In Power Today.

I Don't Watch The Nightly Newscasts On Tv . . . Nor Do I Watch The Endless Hours Of People Giving Their Opinion About Things. I Don't Read The Editorial Pages; I Don't Read The Columnists. It Can Be A Frustrating Experience To Pay Attention To Somebody's False Opinion.
