anymore center learn lesson trade
We didn't learn our lesson after the '93 World Trade Center bombing; we didn't learn our lesson after Sept. 11. We don't need anymore failures.
attention equal hope
I would hope we would give equal attention to other factors,
cloud courtesy everybody mushroom remembers rice saddam talked television
I think everybody remembers when Dr. Rice went on television and talked about the mushroom cloud that we could get, courtesy of Saddam Hussein,
anger deserve management needs
I think Mr. Bolton needs anger management at a minimum, and he does not deserve to be promoted,
count fiber generation security social sure
You can count on Social Security, and with every fiber of my being, I will make sure it is there not only for my generation, but for my children's generation and for my grandchild's generation.
