I can't be more specific, but I can be that he will get out of Kuwait, and he will get out of Kuwait entirely, and he will get out of Kuwait without concession. That, I think, is the underlying part of the message.

That is too hypothetical a question for me to answer. We are prepared to do what we need to do to fully implement 678. And I would think that he'd think long and hard before he started yet another war. There is one war on--that's his war…

We have friends all over the world. We have friends in this coalition. And I'm determined that the United States will fill our obligations there. Clearly, if a friend in that area was attacked, wantonly attacked for no cause whatsoever…

If armed men invaded a home in this country, killed those in their way, stole what they wanted and then announced the house was now theirs--no one would hesitate about what must be done. And that is why we cannot hesitate about what must…

Liberia and Other Refugee Relief Efforts January 9, 1991 The President has taken two important steps which underline our concern for the beleaguered people of Liberia and our desire that there should be a peaceful settlement to the…

No, I wouldn't make it. And we oppose linkage. The coalition opposes linkage. And the argument with Saddam Hussein is about Kuwait. It is about the invasion of Kuwait, the liquidation of a member of the United Nations, a member of the Arab…

I have the authority to fully implement the United Nations resolutions.

This isn't Iraq versus the United States; this is Iraq versus the entire United Nations.

Nothing I saw today -- nothing -- leads me to believe that this man is going to be reasonable.

I would remind everybody that this isn't Iraq versus the United States; this is Iraq versus the entire United Nations.

It won't be another Vietnam.

I have not given up on a peaceful outcome -- it's not too late.

I hope that the Congress will send a good, strong signal, and I'm not giving up on peace at all.

I have less of a feeling that he'll come around.

We've got to keep trying.

I proposed the Baker-`Aziz meeting.

This aggression is not going to stand.
