George H.W. Bush

Well, I'm prepared for that. But I have full confidence in General Schwarzkopf, but all I know is that there was total agreement in terms of when this war should end. And it's total, and there's--not even questionable. And I think…

No. I understand that Dick Cheney--Secretary Cheney-- put out a statement, having talked to Schwarzkopf, and I don't think there's any difference between any of us--me, Cheney, Powell, or Schwarzkopf. So, I think there was a comment----

We were there under the United Nations resolutions. We're now trying to finalize the cease-fire, and that will take care of the U.S. role. Of course, we'll have an interest in seeing that those U.N.--the new U.N. provisos are complied…

No, I've said all along that--well, I've said that we won't have normalized relations as long as he's there. There's enough dissent and disorder that it appears that Iraqi citizens are trying to do something about this. So, we'll wait and…

Because I enjoy it--he's so darn nice--the admiral and his troops are wonderful. No, it went very well. So did Barbara. Barbara got a good, clean bill of health yesterday. Well, she has her Graves' problem, but it's much better than would…

I am confident that the Minister and Secretary Brady have understanding on the costs involved, and I'm very grateful to Germany for their participation in all of this, as I am to other friends and allies. I'm afraid it's not going to be…

----and other areas of cooperation. So please extend my best to the Chancellor and wish him well. The Finance Minister. Thank you very much. And I want to congratulate to the great success not only for your country but for the whole of the…

I wanted to take this opportunity publicly to thank you for Germany's wonderful cooperation and financial contribution as well as many other things during this Desert Storm. I understood from day one the German position, and we had very…

Thank you all. Note: The President spoke at 11:26 a.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the White House. In his remarks, he referred to Archbishop Demetrios A. Iakovos of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America; Secretary of…

I appreciate Germany's strong financial and other support for the multinational coalition in the Persian Gulf.

History will show that those American women who served in the recent struggle to liberate Kuwait helped not only to deter ruthless aggression but also to build a new world order based on respect for human rights and the rule of law.

Today women continue to defend and promote the ideals on which this Nation is founded.

I urge all Americans to join in appropriate ceremonies and activities in honor of the Greek people and Greek independence.

During Women's History Month we celebrate the many unique and vital contributions that women have made to our Nation.

May God bless the families of all those soldiers that we lost in action.

Saddam Hussein appears to still be calling the shots.

We're looking for stability. We're not looking for disorder.

I'm very happy to see Kuwait's Ambassador here.

Normal relations with the United States cannot be effected with Saddam Hussein still calling the shots, still in power.

I've just learned the three words every Iraqi pilot dreaded the most: Cleared for takeoff.

I hope they get out.

Through the fog of distant war shines the strength of their devotion.

I see nothing but sunlight out there.

Our soldiers and our sailors and our airmen and our marines and our coastguardmen embodied the ideals of honor and bravery and duty and country.

I think that would be much -- the best approach.
