George W. Bush

God bless you all, and God bless our great country.

But the terrorists are vulnerable, and we will strike their network and disrupt their operations and continue to bring their leaders to justice.

This is an issue that is on the minds of a lot of the folks there in Iraq.

Under this initiative, we'll help train Iraqi judges, increase security so they can do their jobs, improve Iraqi prison capacity, and help the Iraqi Government provide equal justice for all its citizens.

Iraqi troops will increase the number of checkpoints, enforce a curfew, and implement a strict weapons ban across the Iraqi capital.

The American people have got to understand that Iraq is a part of the war on terror.

I believe that the Iraqi Government—first of all, the decision on what to do with their resources is their decision, not mine.

The policy of the United States Government is to stand with this new Government and help them succeed.

I appreciate their hard work, and so do the American people.

America is a nation that meets its commitments and keeps its word.

I was inspired to be able to visit the capital of a free and democratic Iraq.

I'm going to make decisions not based upon politics but based upon what's best for the United States of America.

We've got new intelligence from those raids which will enable us to continue to keep the pressure on the foreigners and local Iraqis that are killing innocent lives.

I appreciate their determination—it's not just his determination but their Cabinet's determination to succeed.

It is vital that we succeed.

Iraq is a central front on that war.

My message to the Iraqi people is this: seize the moment; seize this opportunity to develop a government of and by and for the people.

When America gives its word, it will keep its word.

I'm convinced you will succeed, and so will the world.

I also have a message to the Iraqi people that when America gives a commitment, America will keep its commitment.

I think your recommendations to us on how to win in Iraq are valid.

I keep reminding the American people that the stakes are worth it.

The goal is to accomplish our mission as quickly as possible so our troops can come home.

I thought your assessment of the situation in Iraq was very realistic.

You're making a significant difference.
