If you're a single mother with two children, which is the toughest job in America as far as I'm concerned, and you're working hard to put food on your family.

I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.

These people are trying to shake the will of the Iraqi citizens, and they want us to leave...I think the world would be better off if we did leave.

Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.

I was not pleased that Hamas has refused to announce its desire to destroy Israel.

Thats why we are inconveniencing air traffickers, to make sure nobody is carrying weapons on airplanes.

The fight against terrorism is not limited to America. Europe, Russia, Indonesia, Australia, the Phillipines, all have had their share of it, and all the leaders have been very cooperative in our efforts. But it is for America to lead, and we will.
