George W. Bush

America has lost one of its finest writers and thinkers.

We had a good discussion on this important issue.

We value our friendship and our partnership with the people of the Czech Republic.

Laura and I send our prayers to Chris Buckley, the Buckley family, and all who loved this good man.

He brought conservative thought into the political mainstream.

The system we're developing will be able to deal with one, two, or three types of incoming missiles.

His legacy lives on in the ideas he championed and in the magazine he founded, National Review.

Bill Buckley was one of the great founders of the modern conservative movement.

There is a will to get this done for the sake of mutual security and for the sake of peace.

Missile defense, it's in our interest to put defenses in place to deal with the true threats of the 21st century.

Industries should be taxed on a level playing field, and that field should be leveled by lowering rates, not by raising them.

I appreciate your time.

The trade bill is—with Colombia is a really important piece of legislation for America's national security.

These ideals have sustained us throughout the centuries.

We are united by an unyielding principle, and that is, all men are created equal.

A defeat of the trade bill with Colombia would send a contradictory message.

Nominations sent to the Senate.

It is a national security issue and one that the members of both parties must take seriously.

The targeted tax increase would reduce the Nation's energy security rather than improve it.

An artificial timetable of withdrawal would say to an enemy, just wait them out; it would say to the Iraqis, don't do hard things necessary to achieve our objectives; and it would be discouraging for our troops.

In just 5 years, the program has awarded nearly 1,400 grants to projects that preserve historical sites, documents, and artifacts and train future historians.

I will strongly reject an artificial timetable withdrawal and/or Washington politicians trying to tell those who wear the uniform how to do their job.

The United States continues to seek a peaceful transition to a democratic government that will promote stability and prosperity in Burma and in the region.

Concerted international pressure is needed to achieve a genuine transition to democracy in Burma.

We support continued engagement by the U.N. Security Council and United Nations Secretary-General Ban's good offices mission.
