In government you carry each hope; each disillusion. And in politics it's always about the next challenge.

Before people crow about the absence of weapons of mass destruction, I suggest they wait a bit.

You've got to listen but you've also got to lead.

My office is on Twitter. I don't tweet myself - at least, not intentionally, but I probably should do.

Saddam Hussein's regime is despicable, he is developing weapons of mass destruction, and we cannot leave him doing so unchecked. He is a threat to his own people and to the region and, if allowed to develop these weapons, a threat to us also.

This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today

The thing always is to go to where people really are and what they're really feeling about life.
