I think it's fair to say you can't predict a straight line to victory. You know, there'll be good days and bad days along the way.

I've worked for four presidents and watched two others up close, and I know that there's no such thing as a routine day in the Oval Office.

There's every reason to believe there will be further attacks attempted against the United States. For us to spend so much time patting ourselves on the back because we got bin Laden that we miss the next attack would be a terrible tragedy.

I think the decision that's been made with respect to allowing gays to serve openly in the military is a good one.

If we're successful in Iraq ... we will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11.

I'm more concerned with bad guys who got out and released than I am with a few that in fact were innocent.

Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.
