I urge Saddam Hussein to save the people of Iraq from violence, ... I urge him to take a step toward ultimately someday lifting the sanctions, I urge him to comply with United Nations resolution, and I want him to know that.
People can walk out, but what I'm saying is a fact about a crime,
Sooner or later, I think that the public's right to know is more important than whether or not these people go to jail,
I think people exaggerate the role that particular strategy had,
What you are building, if you build it right, if you dedicate yourself to perfection, will allow the people across the planet to be free for the next half century, will allow America to lead the world,
I don't understand how people can rush to a solution before they finish the investigation, ... There's an awful lot of evidence that hasn't been gathered yet. People need to allow the process to go forward in an orderly manner and not assume that they know what the final outcome will be either way.
I believe that whatever that document is -- inevitably and legitimately -- the American people should have access to (it). Certainly all of the members will want access, the senators will want access... ... We think it is, frankly, more legitimate and more in the spirit of what we are trying to do ... for everyone to have access to it.
This was such a stunning collapse of modern government that people understand that it's really not about personality,
We owe the American people the right to know what happened. They have the right to know whether or not the American government was undermined by the Chinese.
I want to get this bill signed, so for the first time in 16 years, the American people have a tax cut, but we're not going to give it up flippantly, we're going to work to keep it. I think the president has to look at what does he want. He's not going to get everything he wants; this is not a one-way street.
I totally underestimated the degree with which people just get sick of 24-hour-a-day talk television and talk radio, the degree to which this whole scandal just became sort of disgusting by sheer repetition,
What the president should recognize is that the American people are tired of thousands of pages of regulations, of audits they don't understand by agents they can't talk with from a bureaucracy they can't control,
When you wake up in the morning and lose 14 marines, people say, 'What's going on?'
You have to ask how much did they know, did they brief the administration on it and what were they doing? And then, second, you have to ask if you really want the kind of real time coverage that some people want, are you willing to pay for that level of asset and level of analysis? It's a very expensive proposition.
