George Bush actually said...

"I transmit herewith the 6-month periodic report prepared by my Administration on the national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism."

"I have reluctantly concluded, along with other coalition leaders, that only the use of armed force will accomplish these objectives."

"Only the use of armed force will accomplish these objectives and restore international peace and security in the area."

"It is not possible to know at this time either the duration of active combat operations or the scope or duration of the deployment of U.S. Armed Forces necessary to accomplish our goals fully."
