I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about my faults.

Saddam Hussein had a lengthy history of reckless and sudden aggression. He cultivated ties to terror -- hosting the Abu Nidal organization, supporting terrorists, and making payments to the families of suicide bombers. He also had an established relationship with Al Qaida -- providing training to Al Qaida members in areas of poisons, gases and conventional bombs. He built, possessed, and used weapons of mass destruction.

I've been extraordinarily fortunate that I've been able to go live a very active, stressful life. And I don't believe that my heart disease changed me for the worst.

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

You've got a job to do, and because you've got a job to do, you've got to focus on that, so you don't have time for personal considerations.

I do not believe the President requires any additional authorization from the Congress before committing US forces to achieve our objectives in the Gulf.

The days of looking the other way while despotic regimes trample human rights, rob their nations' wealth, and then excuse their failings by feeding their people a steady diet of anti-Western hatred are over.
