I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.

Presidents, whether things are good or bad, get the blame. I understand that.

One of the worst days in America's history saw some of the bravest acts in Americans' history. We'll always honor the heroes of 9/11. And here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice.

Can't living with the bill means it won't become law.

No matter how advanced our economy might be, no matter how sophisticated our equipment becomes, for the foreseeable future we will still depend on fossil fuels.

It is incredibly presumptive for somebody who has not yet earned his party's nomination to start speculating about vice presidents.

If you say, "Are you going to change your strategic objective?", it means you're leaving before the mission is complete, and we're not going to leave before the mission in Iraq is complete.
