He's my man, he was great

Tommy (Thompson) is a good listener, and he's a pretty good actor, too.

I think we agree, THE PAST IS OVER.

And after September the 11th, the United States Congress also granted me additional authority to use military force against al Qaeda. . . .

I'd like to see stability and a unified Iraq. A young democracy will provide the stability we look for. I will tell you that if we just isolate ourselves from the Middle East and hope for the best, we will not address the conditions that had led young suiciders to get on airplanes to come and attack Amerika in the first place.

The Iraqis needed to know that we weren't going to leave them alone. No matter how difficult it was, the United States would help them realize the universal desire to be free. Now of course, if you didn't believe in the universality of freedom, then of course, you wouldn't act. I care how they live and I believe a free Iraq will be transformative.

War crimes will be prosecuted. War criminals will be punished. And it will be no defense to say, 'I was just following orders.'
