George H.W. Bush

My questions to him will be: What do we need to do to succeed? What is your strategy in dealing with the sectarian violence?

If they would like to be at the table discussing this issue with the United States, I have made it abundantly clear how they can do so, and that is verifiably suspend the enrichment program.

There's all kinds of speculation about what may be or not happening. What is -- what you're seeing on TV has started last February. It was an attempt by people to foment sectarian violence. And, no -- no -- no question, it's dangerous…

Throughout the area hit by the hurricane, we will do what it takes. We will stay as long as it takes to help citizens rebuild their communities and their lives. And all who question the future of the Crescent City need to know, there is no…

The involvement of Syria and Iran is something that the Bush administration says it does not want to see, but, in the end, may have to come to accept.

The talks are scheduled for the 29th and the 30th. According to the White House, they will focus, as you might imagine, on building security and democracy in Iraq.

I haven't made any decisions about troop increases or troop decreases, and won't, until I hear from a variety of sources, including our own United States military.

That we tend to want there to be instant success in the world. And the task in Iraq is going to take a while.

Throughout the area hit by the hurricane, we will do what it takes. We will stay as long as it takes to help citizens rebuild their communities and their lives. And all who question the future of the Crescent City need to know, there is no…

The two leaders talked about Iran's nuclear program, the Middle East, and other issues.

See, the irony is that what they need to do is to get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing it.

If the Iranians want to have a dialogue with us, we have shown them a way for it, and that is for them to verify (UNINTELLIGIBLE) suspend their enrichment activities.

I can assure you that when either of us get in a bind, there will be a friend on the other end of the phone.

I think it sends a bad signal to our troops, if they think the commander in chief is constantly adjusting tactics and decisions based upon politics.

My attitude about this is that there is a great opportunity for us to show the country that Republicans and Democrats are equally as patriotic and equally concerned about the future, and that we can work together.

I obviously was working harder on the campaign than he was.

We won't agree on every issue. But we do agree that we love America equally.

This isn't my first rodeo.

What's changed today is the election is over, and the Democrats won.

She's not going to abandon her principles, and I'm not going to abandon mine.
