I think we need a success strategy.

The war was a stunning success.

You sent them in there because of weapons of mass destruction.

But, Senator Boxer, we went to war, not because of aluminum tubes, we went to war because this was the threat of weapons of mass destruction in the hands of a man against whom we had gone to war before.

I would rather trade the considerable difficulty of helping the Iraqi people get to a democratic future...

But many of the people who are blowing up their fellow citizens, are blowing up Iraqis, are not actually people who were angry because they weren't paid.

We need a military exit strategy for Iraq.

I look forward to working with the Bush Administration on immigration policy and plan to re-introduce my immigration reform bill in the next few weeks.

The U.S. relationship with Mexico is as important as any relationship we have.

When you say we have 200,000 trained security forces, and the Secretary of Defense says you have 210,000, the impression of the average American is that, we've actually trained up people who can do the job.

We must remain united in insisting that Iran and North Korea abandon their nuclear weapons ambitions, and choose instead the path of peace.

We have watched as the people of the Palestinian territories turned out to vote in an orderly and free election.

We will insist that leaders who are elected democratically have an obligation to govern democratically.

I'm looking forward to working with you to do just that; I'm anxious to hear what you have to say.

I hope he will seize it, quite frankly, by rejecting the neo-conservative notion about how we are going to, in fact, secure Iraq and the Middle East.

Over the past few years, North Korea has increased its nuclear capacity by as much as 400 percent, and now may have as many as eight nuclear weapons which it could test, hide, or sell to the highest bidder.

I think the only people who leveled with us before the war--like General Shinseki, who said it would take several hundred-thousand troops to secure Iraq, and the Economic Advisor, Larry Lindsay, who said it would cost upward of $200…

Just last week, very quietly, the administration ended its search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

To prevail, we obviously have to be strong, but we also have to be smart.

But to pretend we didn't leave them that impression, and leave the Congress the impression.

I'm going to vote for Dr. Rice.

I look forward to supporting her nomination both today and when we will have a vote of the full Senate.

How many of your folks are saying at home what you know is the truth?

no foreign policy can be sustained without the informed consent of the American people.

In truth, they haven't changed, in 19 months.
