“Some have argued that confronting the threat from Iraq could detract from the war against terror. To the contrary, confronting the threat posed by Iraq is crucial to winning the war on terror.”

“This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.”

“With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got.”

“The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and fighting terror - and America is honored to be their friend.”

“America is a friend to the people of Iraq. Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.”
