George H.W. Bush

I would view this as an interim step. I don't view this as the final product.

I support a temporary worker program that would create a legal path for foreign workers.

It appears as though the race might be tightening a little bit. Republicans feeling a little bit better about it.

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

Iran is obviously part of the -- part of the problem. They sponsor Hezbollah. They encourage a radical brand of Islam.

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.

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.

The decision was the right decision. And now the question is, will this country and our coalition partners have the will to support this new government, a democracy in the heart of the Middle East?

In order for there to be effective diplomacy, you can't keep changing your word.

Or will we yield the future to the terrorists and extremists? America's made its choice.

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.

This evening we welcomed the distinguished interim leader of a liberated Afghanistan, Chairman Hamid Karzai.

To the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria...

We have been on the hunt and we'll stay on the hunt until we bring him to justice.

It's flawed logic. I simply can't accept that. It's unacceptable to think that there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists.

We're trying to clarify law. We're trying to set high standards not ambiguous standards.

No, I'm not going to meet with him.

We're in a war that will set the course for this new century and determine the destiny of millions across the world.

We see the strategy laid out in a captured al Qaeda document found during a recent raid in Iraq which describes their plans to infiltrate and take over Iraq's western Anbar Province.

We face an enemy determined to bring death and suffering into our homes. America did not ask for this war, and every American wishes it were over. So do I. But the war is not over, and it will not be over until either we or the extremists…

Winning this war will require the determined efforts of a unified country. And we must put aside our differences and work together to meet the test that history has given us.

The war is not over. And it will not be over until either we or the extremists emerge victorious.
