We Spend Less Time With Each Other Now Than We Did During The Presidency. When You're President, You're Usually Out And Back In The Same Day - At Least I Was. I Just Came From A Trip To The Middle East Last Week, Where I Was Gone For Five Nights, And When I Left, Laura [bush] Was Out Of Town.

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

I Understand Why People Are Discouraged About Iraq. I Can Understand That. We Live In A, You Know, World In Which People Hope Things Happen Quickly. And This Is A Situation Where Things Don't Happen Quickly Because There's, You Know, A Very Tough Group Of People Using Tactics - Mainly The Killing Of Innocent People - To Achieve Their Objective, And They're Skillful About How They Do This. And They Also Know The Impact Of What It Means On The Consciousness Of Those Of Us Who Live In The Free World. They Know That.

I'd Be Reminding People There's A Philosophical Difference Between Those Who Want To Raise Taxes And Have The Government Spend The Money, And Those Of Us Who Say, "you Get To Spend The Money The Way You Want To See Fit.

Imagine A World In Which You Had Saddam Hussein, Who Had The Capacity To Make A Weapon Of Mass Destruction, Who Was Paying Suiciders To Kill Innocent Life. Imagine What The World Would Be Like With Him In Power. The Idea Is To Try To Help Change The Middle East. Part Of The Reason We Went Into Iraq Was We Thought He Had Weapons Of Mass Destruction. It Turns Out He Didn't, But He Had The Capacity To Make Weapons Of Mass Destruction.

The United States Of America Will Not Permit The World's Most Dangerous Regimes To Threaten Us With The World's Most Destructive Weapons.

Our Goal In Iraq Is Victory. Our Goal Is For A Young Democracy To Be Able To Sustain Itself, Govern Itself, And Defend Itself And Serve As An Ally In The War On Terror.

Today We Affirm A New Commitment To Live Out Our Nation's Promise Through Civility, Courage, Compassion And Character.

We Face An Enemy That Is Brutal. There Is No Negotiation With These People. You Can't Try To Talk Reason Into These Totalitarians.

Removing Saddam Hussein Was The Right Decision Early In My Presidency, It Is The Right Decision Now, And It Will Be The Right Decision Ever.

If You Say, "are You Going To Change Your Strategic Objective?", It Means You're Leaving Before The Mission Is Complete, And We're Not Going To Leave Before The Mission In Iraq Is Complete.

We See In Islam A Religion That Traces Its Origins Back To God's Call On Abraham. We Share Your Belief In God's Justice, And Your Insistence On Man's Moral Responsibility. We Thank The Many Muslim Nations Who Stand With Us Against Terror. Nations That Are Often Victims Of Terror, Themselves.

My Job Is To Think Beyond The Immediate.

Look, The Key For Me Is To Keep Expectations Low.

I Am A War President.

The Interesting Thing About Golf Is That The Presidency Requires Focus And Discipline, And Golf Requires Focus And Discipline. It Was A Way To Make Sure That Parts Of My Life Were Focused And Disciplined.

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.

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

I Wouldn't Pick A Judge Who Said That The Pledge Of Allegiance Couldn't Be Said In A School Because It Had The Words 'under God'' In It. I Think That's An Example Of A Judge Allowing Personal Opinion To Enter Into The Decision-making Process, As Opposed To Strict Interpretation Of The Constitution.

I Strongly Believe What We're Doing Is The Right Thing. If I Didn't Believe It -- I'm Going To Repeat What I Said Before -- I'd Pull The Troops Out, Nor If I Believed We Could Win, I Would Pull The Troops Out.

We Do Not Know How Much Our Climate Could Or Will Change In The Future. We Do Not Know How Fast Change Will Occur Or Even How Some Of Our Actions Could Impact It.

Each Of Us Will Figure Out Our Own Way.

Other Republican Candidates May Retort To Personal Attacks And Negative Ads.

I Believe We Owe It To Our Children And Grandchildren To Stay Engaged And To Help Spread Liberty And To Help Reformers.

I Believe That Freedom Is The Deepest Need Of Every Human Soul.

We Must Show New Energy In Fighting Back An Old Evil. Nearly Two Centuries After The Abolition Of The Transatlantic Slave Trade, And More Than A Century After Slavery Was Officially Ended In Its Last Strongholds, The Trade In Human Beings For Any Purpose Must Not Be Allowed To Thrive In Our Time.

After 9/11, We Had To Look At The World Differently. After 9/11, We Had To Recognize That When We Saw A Threat, We Must Take It Seriously Before It Comes To Hurt Us. In The Old Days We'd See A Threat, And We Could Deal With It If We Felt Like It Or Not. But 9/11 Changed It All.

Important Part Of Our Diplomacy Is That People Take Our Words Seriously.

I Know The Human Being And Fish Can Co-exist Peacefully.

I'm Telling You There's An Enemy That Would Like To Attack America, Americans, Again. There Just Is. That's The Reality Of The World. And I Wish Him All The Very Best.

But I Have No Desire For Fame And Power Anymore. I Crawled Out Of The Swamp And I'm Not Crawling Back In.

So Many People Commute In This Country By Car Long Enough Distances To Really Cut Into Their Income, Their Real Income, That They Would Change Their Vote Based On Gas Prices.

We Will Fight With Full Force And Might Of The United States Military.

There Was No Evidence That Saddam Hussein Was Involved With The Attack Of 9/11, I've Never Said That And Never Made That Case Prior To Going Into Iraq.

We'll Let Our Friends Be The Peacekeepers And The Great Country Called America Will Be The Pacemakers.

I Want To Thank The President And The Ceo Of Constellation Energy, Mayo Shattuck. That's A Pretty Cool First Name, Isn't It, Mayo. Pass The Mayo.

When Our Children And Grandchildren Look Back On This Period, One Question Will Overwhelm All The Rest: Did We Do Everything In Our Power To Fight And To Win The War On Terror? That's The Fundamental Question This Generation Faces.

We Have A Duty To Our Country To Participate In The Political Process. See, If You Believe In Freedom, You Have A Duty To Exercise Your Right To Vote To Begin With. I'm [here] To Encourage People To Do Their Duty, To Go To The Polls. I Want All People, No Matter What Their Political Party Is Or Whether They Even Like A Political Party, To Exercise Their Obligation To Vote.

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

The Notion Of Democracy Beginning To Emerge Scares The Ideologues, The Totalitarians, Those Who Want To Impose Their Vision. It Just Frightens Them.

This Is A Nation That Loves Our Freedom, Loves Our Country.

There Are Prayers That Help Us Last Through The Day, Or Endure The Night. There Are Prayers Of Friends And Strangers, That Give Us Strength For The Journey. And There Are Prayers That Yield Our Will To A Will Greater Than Our Own.

We Will Stand Up For Our Friends In The World. And One Of The Most Important Friends Is The State Of Israel. My Administration Will Be Steadfast In Support Israel Against Terrorism And Violence, And In Seeking The Peace For Which All Israelis Pray.

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. Our Challenge Is To Make Sure That Science Serves The Cause Of Humanity Instead Of The Other Way Around.

I Believe That Life Is Valuable, Even When It Is Unwanted, Even When It Is Physically Imperfect. I Believe Our Society Has A Responsibility To Defend The Vulnerable And The Weak. And I Believe Our Nation Should Set A Goal That Unborn Children Should Be Welcomed In Life And Protected In Law.

In The Long Run, Stability Cannot Be Purchased At The Expense Of Liberty.

No President Has Ever Done More For Human Rights Than I Have.

Really Proud Of It. A Great Campaign. And I'm Really Pleased With The Organization And The Thousands Of South Carolinians That Worked On My Behalf. And I'm Very Gracious And Humbled.

For Too Long Our Culture Has Said, "if It Feels Good, Do It." Now America Is Embracing A New Ethic And A New Creed: "let's Roll".

We Increased Expenses, Particularly In Two Areas: The Military. If I Put Somebody In Harm's Way, They're Going To Get The Best, As Far As I'm Concerned.

When We Make A Pledge, We Mean It. We Keep Our Word, And What We Begin, We Will Finish.

We Ought To Make The Pie Higher.

I Will Always Stand Firm To Protect The Sanctity Of Marriage. I Believe It Is Important To Work With People To Find Common Ground On Difficult Issues.

King Fahd Was A Man Of Wisdom And A Leader Who Commanded Respect Throughout The Entire World. He Was A Friend And Strong Ally Of The United States For Decades.

Usa Have Got A Comprehensive Strategy To Not Only Chase Down The Al Qaida, Wherever It Exists - But To Make Sure That Countries That Harbor Terrorists Are Held To Account.

These Aren't Joyous Times When We Have War In Iraq. These Are Challenging Times, And They're Difficult Times, And They're Straining The Psyche Of Our Country. I Understand That.

Tony Blair Made Decisions On What He Thought Was Best For The People Of Great Britain, And I Made Decisions On What I Thought Was Best For Americans. And I Really Don't View Our Relationship As One Of Quid Pro Quo. I View Our Relationship As One Of Strong Allies And Friends Working Together For The Common Good.

I Told You I'm Not Going To Criticize My Successor. I'll Just Tell You That There Are People At Gitmo That Will Kill American People At A Drop Of A Hat And I Don't Believe That Persuasion Isn't Going To Work. Therapy Isn't Going To Cause Terrorists To Change Their Mind.

These Demands Are Not Open To Negotiation Or Discussion.

I Served. And Now It's Time For The New Man To Serve. I Have Zero Desire To Be In The Limelight.

The Men And Women Of Afghanistan Are Building A Nation That Is Free, And Proud, And Fighting Terror - And America Is Honored To Be Their Friend.

One Of The Things Important About History Is To Remember The True History.

The California Crunch Really Is The Result Of Not Enough Power-generating Plants And Then Not Enough Power To Power The Power Of Generating Plants.

Because The Union Of A Man And Woman Deserves An Honored Place In Our Society, I Support The Protection Of Marriage Against Activist Judges. And I Will Continue To Appoint Federal Judges Who Know The Difference Between Personal Opinion And The Strict Interpretation Of The Law.

Personal Opinions

Combat Forces Of The United States, Great Britain, Australia, Poland, And Other Countries Enforced The Demands Of The United Nations, Ended The Rule Of Saddam Hussein - And The People Of Iraq Are Free.

The Choice Is His [saddam Hussein's]. And If He Does Not Disarm, The United States Of America Will Lead A Coalition And Disarm Him, In The Name Of Peace.

I Care What 51 Percent Of The People Think About Me.

Thats Why We Are Inconveniencing Air Traffickers, To Make Sure Nobody Is Carrying Weapons On Airplanes.

We're Fighting People That Hates Our Values, They Can't Stand What America Stands For.

As A President, My Job Is Not To Promote A Religion, My Job Is To Call People To Serve Our Country.

Time Is Passing...yet For The United States Of America, There Will Be No Forgetting September The 11th.

If Most Of The Breaks Go To Wealthy People It's Because Most Of The People Who Pay Taxes Are Wealthy.

Even Grief Recedes With Time And Grace. But Our Resolve Must Not Pass. Each Of Us Will Remember What Happened That Day, And To Whom It Happened. We'll Remember The Moment The News Came -- Where We Were And What We Were Doing. Some Will Remember An Image Of A Fire, Or A Story Of Rescue. Some Will Carry Memories Of A Face And A Voice Gone Forever.

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.

You Know, One Day You're Being Briefed On World Affairs And Asked To Make Decisions, And The Next, You're In Crawford, Texas ... And The Biggest Decision Is When Do You Go Mountain Bike Riding.

America Treasures The Relationship We Have With Our Many Muslim Friends, And We Respect The Vibrant Faith Of Islam Which Inspires Countless Individuals To Lead Lives Of Honesty, Integrity, And Morality.

I Believe That God Has Planted In Every Heart The Desire To Live In Freedom.

I Believe In The Transformational Power Of Liberty. I Believe That The Free Iraq Is In This Nation's Interests. I Believe A Free Afghanistan Is In This Nation's Interest.

The Only Way We Can Win Is If We Leave Before The Job Is...done.

Government Does Not Create Wealth. The Major Role For The Government Is To Create An Environment Where People Take Risks To Expand The Job Rate In The United States.

Foreign Fighters Are Travelling Into Iraq To Make It A Front Line In The War On Terror. And I Would Rather Defeat Them There Than Face Them In Our Own Country.

America Is Successful Because Of The Hard Work And Creativity And Enterprise Of Our People.

Can't Living With The Bill Means It Won't Become Law.

It's The Afghan National Army That Went Into Najaf And Did The Work There.

States Like These [iran, Iraq, North Korae], And Their Terrorist Allies, Constitute An Axis Of Evil, Arming To Threaten The Peace Of The World. By Seeking Weapons Of Mass Destruction, These Regimes Pose A Grave And Growing Danger. They Could Provide These Arms To Terrorists, Giving Them The Means To Match Their Hatred. They Could Attack Our Allies Or Attempt To Blackmail The United States. In Any Of These Cases, The Price Of Indifference Would Be Catastrophic.

Mass Destruction

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

Time Is Passing. Yet, For The United States Of America, There Will Be No Forgetting September The 11th. We Will Remember Every Rescuer Who Died In Honor. We Will Remember Every Family That Lives In Grief. We Will Remember The Fire And Ash, The Last Phone Calls, The Funerals Of The Children.

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.

And The Cornerstone Of My Economic Policies, When I First Got Elected, Was Cutting Taxes On Everybody On Who Paid Taxes.

In My Judgment, The Only Way To Deal With Terrorists Is To Stay On The Offensive, Is To Find Them And Bring Them To Justice Before They Hurt Us Again.

The Work In Iraq Is Difficult And It Is Dangerous. Like Most Americans, I See The Images Of Violence And Bloodshed. Every Picture Is Horrifying, And The Suffering Is Real.

The Teachings Of Many Faiths Share Much In Common. And People Of Many Faiths Are United In Our Commitments To Love Our Families, To Protect Our Children, And To Build A More Peaceful World. In The Coming Year, Let Us Resolve To Seize Opportunities To Work Together In A Spirit Of Friendship And Cooperation. Through Our Combined Efforts, We Can End Terrorism And Rid Our Civilization Of The Damaging Effects Of Hatred And Intolerance, Ultimately Achieving A Brighter Future For All.

I Wanted To Come To Washington, D.c. And Help Be A Transformative President. And I Think History, When They Look Back, Will Say This Is A Fellow Who Knew How To Make Decisions, And Made Some Tough Ones, Stood By Them, Wasn't Driven By The Latest Opinion Poll, But Was Driven By Some Core Principles From Which He Would Not Deviate.

America Will Never Run... And We Will Always Be Grateful That Liberty Has Found Such Brave Defenders.

Ronald Reagan Was A Great Role Model For Respublicans Party, And I Think For Most People. But He Was A Fellow That The American Public Just Intuitively Loved So Much, That He Could Always Get Credit.

The Regime Must Allow Immediate And Unrestricted Access To Every Site, Every Document, And Every Person Identified By Inspectors. Iraq Can Be Certain That The Old Game Of Cheat-and-retreat Tolerated At Other Times Will No Longer Be Tolerated.

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.

My God, The Man Is A Fascist - A Fascist, I Tell You.

The Key Thing About Life Is To Be True To A Set Of Beliefs. And To Be Genuine.

The Decisions I Made Are Done. And History Will Judge Whether Or Not They Were Correct. There's No Such Thing As Accurate Short-term History.

I Take Pride In Being The Same Person.

I Think It's Important To Bring Somebody From Outside The System, The Judicial System, Somebody That Hasn't Been On The Bench And, Therefore, There's Not A Lot Of Opinions For People To Look At.

Coalition Forces Have Encountered Serious Violence In Some Areas Of Iraq. Our Military Commanders Report That This Violence Is Being Insticated By Three Groups.

The Terrorists Can Kill The Innocent, But They Cannot Stop The Advance Of Freedom.

It Is Written That Adversity Introduces Us To Ourselves.

This Young Century Will Be Liberty's Century.

Sixty Years Of Western Nations Excusing And Accommodating The Lack Of Freedom In The Middle East Did Nothing To Make Us Safe Because In The Long Run Stability Cannot Be Purchased At The Expense Of Liberty. ... The Global Wave Of Democracy Has Barely Reached The Arab States. For Too Long, Many People In That Region Have Been Victims And Subjects. They Deserve To Be Active Citizens.

We Really Don't Need The United Nations Approval To Act. When It Comes To Our Security, We Do Not Need Anyones Permission.

When I Take Action, I'm Not Going To Fire A $2 Million Missile At A $10 Empty Tent And Hit A Camel In The Butt. It's Going To Be Decisive.

After 9/11, I Told The American People I Would Do Everything In My Power To Protect The Country, Within The Law, And That's Exactly How I Conduct My Presidency.

I Wouldn't Join The International Criminal Court. This Is A Body Based In The Hague Where Unaccountable Judges, Prosecutors, Could Pull Our Troops, Our Diplomats Up For Trial. And I Wouldn't Join. And I Understand That In Certain Capitals Of, Around The World That That Wasn't A Popular Move. But It's The Right Move Not To Join A Foreign Court That Could, Where Our People Could Be Prosecuted.

Will You Be A Spectator Or A Citizen? To Make A Difference In This World, You Must Be Involved.

Iran Is An Ancient Land, Home To A Proud Culture With A Rich Heritage Of Learning And Progress. The Future Of Iran Will Be Decided By The People Of Iran. Right Now, The Iranian People Are Struggling With Difficult Questions About How To Build A Modern 21st Century Society That Is At Once Muslim, Prosperous, And Free. There Is A Long History Of Friendship Between The American People And The People Of Iran. As Iran's People Move Towards A Future Defined By Greater Freedom, Greater Tolerance, They Will Have No Better Friend Than The United States Of America.

I Am Sustained By The Prayers Of The People In This Country. I Guess An Appropriate Way To Say This, It's One Of The Beautiful Things About America And Americans From All Walks Of Life Is That They're Willing To Pray For The President And His Family. And That's Powerful. It's Hard For Me To Describe To You What That Means. It's-let Me Just Say This: It's A Leap Of Faith To Understand.

Our War On Terror Begins With Al-qaida, But It Does Not End There. It Will Not End Until Every Terrorist Group Of Global Reach Has Been Found, Stopped, And Defeated.

Terrorist Groups

The Administration Ill Bring Is A Group Of Men And Women Who Are Focused On Whats Best For America, Honest Men And Women, Decent Men And Women, Women Who Will See Service To Our Country As A Great Privilege And Who Will Not Stain The House.
