George H.W. Bush

The president is disappointed that the Senate continues down a path with a bill that he will veto and has no chance of becoming law.

Today's action in the House does only one thing. It delays the delivery of vital resources for our troops.

It will be regrettable if they choose to head down the partisan road of issuing subpoenas and demanding show trials, when I have agreed to make key White House officials and documents available.

The Justice Department, with the approval of the White House, believed new leadership in these positions would better serve our country.

Major combat operations in Iraq have ended.

These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign.

Prime Minister Maliki and General Petraeus emphasize that the Baghdad security plan is still in its early stages. And success will take months, not days or weeks. Yet those on the ground are seeing hopeful signs.

The president said, leakers will be punished. Still waiting to see if there's any -- anything actually going to happen to anyone who did leak.

Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me.

Al was right. Mistakes were made. And he's -- he is going to go up to Capitol Hill to correct them.

I've been hearing about this election fraud matters from members of Congress. I want to make sure you're on top of that as well.

There's more legal procedures to take place. And at this time, it's inappropriate for me or the administration to be, you know, issuing comments about this serious matter.

The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.

The best way to defend the homeland though is to stay on the offense, is to find these people, is to defeat them abroad so we don't have to face them at home.

We will view this rolling blackout as a wake-up call.

We will view this rolling blackout as a wake-up call.

If we're not fighting and destroying this enemy in Iraq, they would not be idle. They would be plotting and killing Americans across the world and within our own borders.

Our strategy is not to be on the defense, but to go on the offense.

We've extended the stay of 3,200 troops now in the country for four months and we'll deploy a replacement force that will sustain this increase for the foreseeable future.

Across Afghanistan last year the number of roadside bombs almost doubled. Direct fire attacks on international forces almost tripled, and suicide bombings grew nearly fivefold.

What we don't know is whether or not the head leaders of Iran ordered the Qods Force to do what they did.

My hope, however, is that this nonbinding resolution doesn't try to turn into a binding policy that prevents our troops from doing that which I have asked them to do.

There's no contradiction that the weapons are there and they were provided by the Quds Force.

The assessment made by some that this is not a good deal is just flat wrong. Now, those who say the North Koreans have got to prove themselves by actually following through on the deal are right. And I'm one. This is a good first step.

There are weapons in Iraq that are harming U.S. troops because of the Quds force.
