George H.W. Bush

However they put it, the Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win, and America loses.

The secretary of defense must be a man of vision who can see threats still over the horizon and prepare our nation to meet them. Bob Gates is the right man to meet both of these critical challenges.

The faith and community based initiative is a vital part of helping solve intractable problems here in America and I would hope that I could work with Congress to make sure this program which has been invigorated, remains invigorated.

The election has changed many things in Washington, but it has not changed my fundamental responsibility, and that is to protect the American people from attack.

It was a thumping. But nevertheless, the people expect us to work together. That's what they expect.

I'm confident that we can work together. I'm confident we can overcome the temptation to divide this country between red and blue.

The timing is right for new leadership at the Pentagon.

As the head of the Republican Party, I share a large part of the responsibility.

Anybody who -- who is in a position to serve this country ought to understand the consequences of words. And our troops deserve the full support -- they -- of -- of people in government.

This president is fiercely loyal to those who are loyal to him.

Look, I'm standing by my defense team. And, therefore, I'm standing by -- behind my mission.

I have asked him to fight two fronts in the war on terror, Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as transform our military. Any one of those would have been a lot or any secretary of defense to handle. He's handled all three at the same time. And…

The senator's suggestion that men and women of our military are somehow uneducated is insulting and it is shameful.

The senator from Massachusetts owes them an apology.

The events of the past month have been a serious concern to me and a serious concern to the American people.

The Democrats are the party of just say no.

Iraq will lead to victory and glory for the United States, for the Iraqis, and for the moderates around the world.
