I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging.

The United States prefers that Iraq meet its obligations voluntarily, yet we are prepared for the alternative.

That's Washington. That's the place where you find people getting ready to jump out of the foxholes before the first shot is fired.

I do know that it’s important for us to support the Iraqi people, who have shown incredible courage in their desire to live in a free society. And if we ever give up the desire to help people who live in freedom, we will have lost our soul as a nation, as far as I’m concerned.

International law? I better call my lawyer; he didn't bring that up to me.

I really appreciate leaders from around the globe who have come to share in prayer with us today. It reminds me that the Almighty God is a God to everybody, every person.

The more you defend in the face of a critical audience, the more you polarize.
