I'm one of these people that, once you have had your election and you have elected your candidate, let's see what actually happens.

I had discovered long ago the first lesson of political courage: to think anew. I had then learned the second: to be prepared to lead and to decide. I was now studying the third: how to take the calculated risk. I was going to alienate some people, like it or not. The moment you decide, you divide.

No one is to blame for the breakdown in trust between politics, media and the public.

I have absolutely no doubt at all that we will find evidence of weapons of mass destruction programmes.

This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today. It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of human life, and we the democracies of this world are going to have to come together and fight it together.
