The Day That The Leadership Of The Military Comes To Me And Says, "senator, We Ought To Change The Policy," Then I Think We Ought To Consider Seriously Changing It.

As Part Of My Misspent Youth, I Spent Too Much Time In The Sun, And Every Few Months, I Have To Go And Have Some Basal Cell Removed From My Old Craggy Features.

Thanks To General Petraeus, Our Leadership And The Sacrifice Of Brave Young Americans. To Deny That Their Sacrifice Didn't Make Possible The Success Of The Surge In Iraq, I Think Does A Great Disservice...the Progress Has Been Immense.

I Think We Also Ought To Prepare The American Public, By Way Of Informing Them, That Saddam Hussein Has These Weapons, Continues To Attempt To Improve Their Capability, And Would Not Be Reluctant To Export Them To Other Countries. So He Presents A Clear And Present Danger.

I Have Known Trent Lott For 20 Years, ... I Don't Believe He's Racist. But He Must Proactively Send A Message To His Colleagues In The Senate And The American People That He Is Absolutely Opposed To Any Segregation In Any Form And Racism In Any Form And Discrimination In Any Form.

Look, President Clinton Had Opportunities To Get Osama Bin Laden. President Bush Had Opportunities To Get Osama Bin Laden. I Know How To Do It And I'll Do It.
