dal President's Remarks to the Unity Journalists of Color Convention del 6 agosto 2004

“È molto importante che la comunità internazionale invii all'Iran il messaggio chiaro secondo cui è inaccettabile lo sviluppo di armi nucleari. Continueremo a consultarci con i nostri partner sulle modalità per arrivare a una soluzione diplomatica della questione.”

Dpa, 4 maggio 2006

Frasi sulla guerra di George Bush

“Stati come questi, e i terroristi loro alleati, costituiscono un asse del male, che si arma per minacciare la pace del mondo. Questi regimi, nella loro ricerca di armi di distruzione di massa, pongono una minaccia sempre più grave. Essi potrebbero fornire queste armi ai terroristi, equipaggiandoli dei mezzi per tradurre nei fatti il loro odio. Potrebbero attaccare i nostri alleati o tentare di riattaccare gli Stati Uniti. In tutti questi casi, il prezzo dell'indifferenza sarebbe catastrofico. Opereremo in modo stretto con la nostra coalizione per impedire ai terroristi mi ha gli stati che li appoggiano di costruire e distribuire armi di distruzione di massa. Svilupperemo e dispiegheremo difese missilistiche adeguate a proteggere l'America i suoi alleati da attacchi improvvisi. Tutte le nazioni dovranno saperlo: l'America farà tutto ciò che è necessario per difendere la propria sicurezza(…). Non starò ad aspettare che le cose accadano. Non mi fermerò mentre il pericolo si fa sempre più vicino. Gli Stati Uniti non permetteranno che regimi più minacciosi del mondo li minaccino con gli armamenti più distruttivi del mondo. Le nostra guerra contro il terrore è iniziata bene, mi sono lavato iniziale (…). Non possiamo fermarci presto. Se ci fermiamo lasciando intatti i campi dei terroristi e gli Stati terroristi fuori controllo, il nostro senso di sicurezza sarebbe falso e temporaneo. La storia ha chiamato l'America i suoi alleati all'azione e del nostro privilegio così come nostra responsabilità combattere una guerra per la libertà.”

Discorso sullo Stato dell'Unione, 29 gennaio 2002

“La guerra non ha certezze, tranne quella del sacrificio.”

“Se Saddam Hussein dovesse scegliere il confronto, il popolo americano sa che ogni misura per evitare la guerra è stata presa, così come sarà presa ogni misura per vincere.”

George Bush Frasi e Citazioni

“Col passare degli anni, la maggioranza degli americani è stata in grado di tornare a vivere una vita normale, come prima dell'undici settembre. Ma io no. Ogni mattina ho ricevuto i briefing sulle minacce alla nostra nazione. E ho giurato che avrei fatto tutto quanto in mio potere per mantenerci al sicuro.”

“Se vuoi farti un'idea di ciò che penso in politica estera leggi il libro di Natan Sharansky "The Case for Democracy"… personalmente lo inserirei nell'elenco delle letture da raccomandare per gli uomini di governo e soprattutto per gli opinion maker. È breve ed è ben fatto. Quest'uomo è una figura eroica, come sai. È un grande libro.”

“[Famosa gaffe, riferendosi a una giornalista che lo aveva definito "dislessico" in un articolo del New Yorker] Ma come fa quella donna a dire che io sono dislessico, se non l'ho mai intervistata?”

“Lo Studio Ovale ovviamente non ha angoli in cui ci si può nascondere.”

“La sicurezza del mondo richiede il disarmo di Saddam Hussein adesso. Sostenendo la giusta domanda del mondo noi onoreremo anche il più profondo legame al nostro paese. A differenza di Saddam Hussein, noi crediamo che il popolo iracheno meriti la libertà e quando il dittatore sarà rimosso esso potrà diventare un esempio per tutto il Medio Oriente di una nazione vitale, pacifica e in grado di governarsi da sola.”

George Bush: Frasi in inglese

“United States can't impose peace. We can encourage the development of a state…. We can facilitate that. But we can't force people to make hard decisions. They're gonna have to do that themselves…. Gotta ask yourselves, why don't they want there to be a democracy. The answer is, because it doesn't fit in with their ideological vision.”

“Deep in my heart I know [Osama bin Laden] is on the run, if he's alive at all. Who knows if he's hiding in some cave or not; we haven't heard from him in a long time. And the idea of focusing on one person is -- really indicates to me people don't understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. And he's just -- he's a person who's now been marginalized. … as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run.”

They would simply move the battlefield to our own shores. There is no peace in retreat. And there is no honor in retreat.”

The United States of America is an enemy of those who aid terrorists and of the barbaric criminals who profane a great religion by committing murder in its name. This military action is a part of our campaign against terrorism, another front in a war that has already been joined through diplomacy, intelligence, the freezing of financial assets and the arrests of known terrorists by law enforcement agents in 38 countries.”

“Any suggestion that a segregated past was acceptable or positive is offensive and it is wrong. Recent comments by Senator Lott do not reflect the spirit of our country. He has apologized and rightly so. Every day our nation was segregated was a day that America was unfaithful to our founding ideals, and the founding ideals of our nation, and in fact the founding ideals of the political party I represent, was and remains today the equal dignity and equal rights of every American.”

“Recently a courageous group of Arab and Muslim intellectuals wrote me a letter. In it, they said this: "The shore of reform is the only one on which any lights appear, even though the journey demands courage and patience and perseverance." The United Nations was created to make that journey possible. Together we must support the dreams of good and decent people who are working to transform a troubled region -- and by doing so, we will advance the high ideals on which this institution was founded.”

“I'm fortunate to know many of the trustees. Well, for example I'm good friends with the Chairman, Mike Boone. And there’s one trustee I know really well, a proud graduate of the SMU Class of 1968 who went on to become our nation’s greatest First Lady. Do me a favor and don’t tell Mother. I know how much the trustees love and care for this great university. I see it firsthand when I attend the Bring-Your-Spouse-Night Dinners. I also get to drop by classes on occasion. I am really impressed by the intelligence and energy of the SMU faculty. I want to thank you for your dedication and thank you for sharing your knowledge with your students. To reach this day, the graduates have had the support of loving families. Some of them love you so much they are watching from overflow sites across campus. I congratulate the parents who have sacrificed to make this moment possible. It is a glorious day when your child graduates from college — and a really great day for your bank account. I know the members of the Class of 2015 will join me in thanking you for your love and your support. Most of all, I congratulate the members of the Class of 2015. You worked hard to reach this milestone. You leave with lifelong friends and fond memories. You will always remember how much you enjoyed the right to buy a required campus meal plan. You'll remember your frequent battles with the Park ‘N’ Pony Office. And you may or may not remember those productive nights at the Barley House.”

“African peoples are now writing your own story of liberty. Africans have overcome the arrogance of colonial powers, overcome the cruelty of apartheid, and made it clear that dictatorship is not the future of any nation on this continent. In the process, Africa has produced heroes of liberation, leaders like Mandela, Senghor, Nkrumah, Kenyatta, Selassie and Sadat. And many visionary African leaders, such as my friend, have grasped the power of economic and political freedom to lift whole nations and put forth bold plans for Africa's development.”

“In Afghanistan, a determined people are working to overcome decades of tyranny, and protect their newly free society. They have strong support from all 26 nations of the NATO Alliance. I appreciate the United Nations' decision this week to renew the mandate for the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. The United Nations is also an active civilian presence in Afghanistan, where experts are doing important work helping to improve education, facilitate humanitarian aid, and protect human rights. We must continue to help the Afghan people defend their young democracy so the Taliban does not return to power, and Afghanistan is never again a safe haven for terror.”

“From historical burdens such as slavery and injustice to the celebration of faith, much of the origin of African-American music reflects our national story. The work songs, shouts and hollers, spirituals, and ragtime of an earlier era laid the creative foundation for many of America' s most distinctive and popular musical genres. These include rhythm and blues, jazz, hip hop, gospel, rap, and the roots of rock and roll.”

We reject every act of hatred against people of Arab background or Muslim faith. America values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths; Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and many others.
