It's important to listen to the words of the enemy if you're in war.

But we cannot allow weapons of mass destruction to fall into the hands of terrorists. I will not allow that to happen.

Terrorists like bin Laden are serious about mass murder - and all of us must take their declared intentions seriously. They seek to impose a heartless system of totalitarian control throughout the Middle East, and arm themselves with weapons of mass murder. . . . Their aim is to seize power in Iraq, and use it as a safe haven to launch attacks against America and the world.

I mean, there was a serious international effort to say to Saddam Hussein: 'You're a threat'. And the 9/11 attacks accentuated that threat, as far as I'm concerned.

After all, religion has been around a lot longer than Darwinism.

I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is underestimating.

The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th.
