George W. Bush

No question in my mind that we will succeed, because this is the greatest nation, full of the finest people on the face of the Earth.

To suggest otherwise is to hope against the evidence.

Saddam Hussein's regime continues to support terrorist groups and to oppress its civilian population.

Today, Saddam Hussein has the scientists and infrastructure for a nuclear weapons program.

The issue is straightforward: We must choose between a world of fear or a world of progress.

Saddam Hussein has violated every one of these 16 resolutions, not once but many times.

Saddam Hussein has made the case against himself.

We owe it to all our citizens to do everything in our power to prevent that day from coming.

The history, the logic, and the facts lead to one conclusion: Saddam Hussein's regime is a grave and gathering danger.

In the Middle East, there can be no peace for either side without freedom for both sides.

Today, we turn to the urgent duty of protecting other lives, without illusion and without fear.

I don't imagine Saddam Hussein sitting around, saying, 'Gosh, I think I'm going to wait for some resolution or not.'

American farm and ranch families embody our Nation's values of hard work, love of the land, and love of country.

If you're representing the United States, you ought to be making a decision on what's best for the United States.

America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities are a vital part of our Nation's higher education system.

As soon as possible.

I hereby proclaim September 15 through October 15, 2002, as National Hispanic Heritage Month.

During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the many achievements of Hispanic Americans and recognize their contributions to our country.

I join with all Americans in celebrating this rich and diverse culture and encourage all citizens to recognize the important role of Hispanics in creating and building this great Nation.

The terrible losses of September the 11th are close to our thoughts tonight, but so are the common hopes of our nations for a better world, a world beyond terror.

I want to thank Kofi Annan, who is the Secretary-General of the United Nations, for his strong leadership and his good heart and his decency.

It is essential for Afghanistan's people to see the fruits of their government's work.
