Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons.

If we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road.

When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive.

We're not into nation-building. We're into justice.

When you're writing about something that happened, it helps you transition to the present. Ironically enough, by focusing on your presidency, it helps you realize that you're no longer the president. By reliving moments, it helps you stay focused on the moment.

I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation building.

Our enemies have made the mistake that America's enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat.
