You made some tough decisions, too.

I think the right course is clear.

If you look at the decisions facing us... you'll say, 'That kid is too nuts to be President.'

There is no reason in the world that we shouldn't.

I argue repeatedly that there are only three options here...

We can now, and we should.

They can find a way to do this if they decide that the price of failure is far higher than the price of compromise.

Now, I think I can stop that.

We have to—every decision we made...had one thing uppermost in their minds: Will the mission succeed?

If I were in his position, I wouldn't take too much comfort from that.

I think there will be some sort of resolution about where to go from here today, and we'll just have to see.

We should be willing to give some of these decisions to the future, instead of taking it now.

Underlying all of it, there is fundamentally a very simple choice.

Let's deal with first things first.

We must take these steps now.

It's not just important to get the right people; it matters if you're doing the right things.

I still think that's the right thing to do.

I never will forget when I was trying to make up my mind whether to run for President in 1991.
