George H.W. Bush

I think the elections will be decided by security and the economy.

I -- you know, I stand by the figure a lot of innocent people have lost their life. 600,000, whatever they guessed at, is just -- it's not credible.

The United States condemns this provocative act. Once again, North Korea has defied the will of the international community and the international community will respond.

He is a father, teacher, coach who cares about the children of this country. I know that he wants all of the facts to come out.

Yes, we have now reached a turning point in the struggle between freedom and terror.

Our nation has been through three difficult years in Iraq, and the way forward will bring more days of challenge and loss.

The Democrats offer nothing but criticism and obstruction and endless second- guessing.

Five years after 9/11, worst attack on American homeland or history, the Democrats offer nothing but criticism and obstruction and endless second guessing. The party of FDR and the party of Harry Truman has become the party of cut and run.

The American people need to know we're working together to win this war on terror.

They're supposed to be helping us get Osama bin Laden and win the war on terror. But now Afghanistan and Pakistan seem to be on a collision course.

We have got a lot of challenges facing us. All of us must protect our countries. But, at the same time, we all must work to make the world a more hopeful place.

And -- but there's a difference of opinion. It will become clear during this campaign, where people will say, get out, leave, before the job is done.

Well, they don't see what I see. They're out there. They're mean. And they need to be brought to justice.

It will stop all the speculation, all the politics about somebody saying something about Iraq.

I admire the leadership.

Imagine a Middle East with an Iran with a nuclear weapon, threatening free nations.

President Musharraf told '60 Minutes' that in the days after 9/11, a member of the Bush administration threatened to bomb Pakistan back to the stone age.

And when he says, if we find -- or when we find Osama bin Laden, he will be brought to justice, I believe him.

Our position is very clear to the Iranians, that if they want to sit down with American officials, that they first must verifiably suspend their enrichment program.

The greatest obstacle to this future is that your rulers have chosen to deny you liberty, to use your nation's resources to fund terrorism and fuel extremism and pursue nuclear weapons.

I'm committed to two democratic states, Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security.

Iran must abandon its nuclear weapons ambitions, despite what the regime tells you. We have no objection to Iran's pursuit of a truly peaceful nuclear power program.

Our most important job in Washington is to protect you.

We would -- we would take the action necessary to bring him to justice.

Time is of the essence. I'm concerned that Iran is trying to stall and to try to buy time.
