I'm going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there's an authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened.
George W. BushI have zero desire, just so you know, to be in the limelight. I don't think it's good for the country to have a former president criticize his successor. You're not going to see me giving my opinions in the public arena, until I start selling my book. I'm going to emerge then submerge.
George W. BushOur law enforcement must have every tool necessary to find and disrupt terrorists at home and abroad. That's the task of the 21st century.
George W. BushIt is clear that the future of freedom and peace depend on the actions of America. This nation is freedom's home. We are freedom's defender. We welcome this charge of history, and we are keeping it. The war on terror continues. The enemies of freedom are not idle. And neither are we. This country will not rest, we will not tire, we will not stop until this danger to civilization is removed.
George W. Bush
