"I think it was made because he felt that this was a symbol of terrible abuse, first starting with Saddam Hussein."

"First of all that's up to General Abizaid. He is clearly indicating he would want more troops. It's coming up the chain of command. If that's what he wants, that's what he gets."

"President Bush to address the nation tonight."

"Certainly the president will say that is something he wants done."
