One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.

I began my first Cabinet meeting since the terrorist attacks. As I stepped into the room, the team broke out in sustained applause. I was surprised, and I choked up at their heartfelt support. The tears flowed for the second time in two days.

As I mentioned we have arrested or detained over 1,000 people here in America to determine to find out what they know.

Science is important, but so is ethics, so is balancing life. To destroy life to save life - it's one of the real ethical dilemmas that we face.

“Governments accountable to the voters focus on building roads and schools—not weapons of mass destruction.”

I am mindful that we're all sinners.

There were tactical decisions that I wish I could have done differently: mission accomplished, not revealing my drunken driving charge prior to my run for the presidency, flying over New Orleans on Katrina and the pictures being released and people saying, "he's aloof and doesn't really care."
