George Bush actually said...

"If we stop fighting the terrorists in Iraq, they would be free to plot and plan attacks elsewhere in America and other free nations."

"The way to secure Iraq and bring our troops home as quickly as possible is not to wilt or waver or send mixed signals to the enemy."

"The Bush and Kerry camps have agreed to three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate."

"But these difficulties will not shake our conviction that the future of Afghanistan and Iraq is a future of liberty. The proper response to difficulty is not to retreat, it is to prevail."
