The Ambassador and the General were briefing me on the....the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice.
Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness.
No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn't find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.
Iraq is no diversion. It is a place where civilization is taking a decisive stand against chaos and terror, we must not waver.
I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.
For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible - and no one can now doubt the word of America.
Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.
I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.
I just didn't want to get out there anymore; I didn't want to get back into what I call 'the swamp.' And the other reason why is I don't think it's good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. President Obama's got plenty of critics - and I'm just not gonna be one.
We don't believe in planners and deciders making the decisions on behalf of Americans.
This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.
The United States of America will never be intimidated by thugs and assassins. The killers will fail, and the Iraqi people will live in freedom.
The tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free.
The legislature's job is to write law. It's the executive branch's job to interpret law.
