I worked for George Bush. I'm proud to have worked for him. I think that a lot of the most controversial things we did, that people didn't like and - and criticized us for, things like the terror surveillance program or the enhanced interrogation techniques, were things that allowed us to save lives.

I don’t think that [the war in Iraq] damaged our reputation around the world.

I'm up in the Senate most Tuesdays when they're in session.

I can think of a lot of words to describe Senator Kerry's position on Iraq; "consistent" is not one of them.

It’s clearly established in terms of training, provision of bomb-making experts, training of people with respect to chemical and biological warfare capabilities, that al-Qaeda sent personnel to Iraq for training and so forth.

The issue is that [Saddam] has chemical weapons.

The greatest threat now is a 9/11 occurring with a group of terrorists armed not with airline tickets and box cutters, but with a nuclear weapon in the middle of one of our own cities...there's a high probability of such an attempt.
