In not coming Monday, I was wrong.

Bush broke a trust with the American people with his decision to invade Iraq.

Friends, I will be a president who meets with the leadership of the civil rights congress, who meets with the NAACP.

It's not enough just to give speeches. America will only be safer when we get results.

The intelligence community was suffering from what we call a collective 'group think.'

Today we know these assessments were wrong. And, as our inquiry will show, they were also unreasonable and largely unsupported by the available intelligence.

There is serious and dangerous stuff out there, and something's got to change.

Are we going to continue to follow a self-serving regime of deceit, hypocrisy, and belligerence?

Unless administration officials, from the president on down, had information not made available to the Senate Intelligence Committee, there was clearly an exaggeration of either an imminent or a grave and growing threat.

No budget, no controls.

Do you think al Qaeda's taking a recess? You know, right now, as we speak, in cafes in Europe and in tents in North Africa and in caves in Afghanistan, they are plotting against us.

And everywhere she goes, people fall in love with Teresa.

Our crucial intelligence and military resources are overstretched abroad, and our homeland security effort at home is underfunded and poorly managed.

We had a wonderful dinner last night, we sat around, we laughed, we chatted, we talked politics.

We want to announce today that we have new campaign manager, Jack Edwards.

John Edwards, who has more experience than George Bush and better judgment than he does when he became president of the United States...

Kerry and Edwards appeared before a crowd of thousands in the important battleground state.

He has honored the lessons of home and family that he learned in North Carolina, and he brings those values to shape a better America together with all of us. John Edwards is ready for this job.
