I wake up every morning literally with a smile on my face, grateful for another day I never thought I would see.

How could any responsible leader have ignored the Iraqi threat? If we had not acted, Saddam Hussein and his sons would still be in power.

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 mean, it's not just one day you get up, bang, and you got Osama bin Laden. It's the kind of thing where an awful lot of people over a long period of time - thousands have worked this case and these issues and followed on the leads and captured bad guys and interrogated them and so-forth.

The Columbia is lost, but the dreams that inspired its crew remain with us.

We have no intention of ignoring or appeasing history's latest gang of fanatics trying to murder their way to power.

I think you can not be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.
