24. We don't want the smoking gun to be in the form of a mushroom cloud.
Who could have thought terrorists would use airplanes as missles?

Reagan proved defecits don't matter.

We gave Saddam every chance to disarm.

Anyone that outed a CIA agent in my cabinet will be dismissed.

31. link:
he said this on the campaign trail in 2000, and i think even in the debates.


http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=99415

As a presidential candidate in 2000, then-Gov. George W. Bush promised that, if elected, he would use the full weight of the White House to pressure oil-producing countries to increase production if there was a gas-price crisis. He charged, "The president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price" and promised that as president he would "convince them to open up the spigot to increase the supply."

42. Military action is not imminent or unavoidable
Sept 7, 2002

Its my honor to welcome the Prime Minister back to Camp David. I look forward to spending a good three hours talking to our friend about how to keep the peace.

Sept 10, 2002

"I'll make the case of how I think we ought to proceed, on how we work together to keep the peace."

Video

Sept 19, 2002

"I am sending suggested language for a resolution. I want -- I've asked for Congress' support to enable the administration to keep the peace...If you want to keep the peace, you've got to have the authorization to use force. But it's -- this will be -- this is a chance for Congress to indicate support. It's a chance for Congress to say, we support the administration's ability to keep the peace. That's what this is all about."

Video

Sept 23, 2002

"I believe we can achieve peace. Oh, I know the kids hear all the war rhetoric and tough talk, and that's necessary to send a message."

Video

Sept 27, 2002

"I'm willing to give peace a chance to work... People who are willing to work with us to send a clear message to the world, a unified message, a strong resolution which defines our vision for peace... I want you to know that behind the rhetoric of war is a deep desire for peace."

Remarks

Sept 28, 2002

"I want to thank members of both political parties in the Congress for working on a strong statement of resolve that the world will see. Members of both political parties have worked together with the -- with members of my staff, to develop a statement that shows our determination and our desire to keep the peace"

Remarks

Oct 7, 2002

"Approving this resolution does not mean that military action is imminent or unavoidable. The resolution will tell the United Nations, and all nations, that America speaks with one voice."

43. Sept 7, 2002
I would remind you, when the inspectors were in Iraq- when they were finally denied access. An IAEA report came out that said Iraq was six months from a (nuclear) weapon. I dont know what more evidence you need?

The answer of course is some evidence that actually exists since he pulled this IAEA report that never existed directly out of his ASS
