I told you I am not going to criticize my successor. I will just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I do not believe that persuasion is not going to work. Therapy is not going to cause terrorists to change their mind.- George W. Bush
I think you can judge from somebody's actions a kind of a stability and sense of purpose perhaps created by strong religious roots. I mean, there's a certain patience, a certain discipline, I think, that religion helps you achieve.
I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a gun.
I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.
I know it's going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we are in. You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.
I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we are really talking about peace.
I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.
I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.
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.
I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman.
I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.
Hundreds of thousands of American servicemen and women are deployed across the world in the war on terror. By bringing hope to the oppressed, and delivering justice to the violent, they are making America more secure.
Great tragedy has come to us, and we are meeting it with the best that is in our country, with courage and concern for others because this is America. This is who we are.
