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

“Questi sono i risultati ufficiali dell'anno fiscale conclusosi il 30 febbraio.”

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.”

citato in Christian Rocca, Bush è il presidente peggiore degli ultimi 50 anni o ha salvato l'occidente? http://www.camilloblog.it/archivio/2009/01/17/bush-e-il-presidente-peggiore-degli-ultimi-50-anni-o-ha-salvato-loccidente/, Il Foglio, 17 gennaio 2009

“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

“Our progress is a tribute to the spirit of the Afghan people, to the resolve of our coalition, and to the might of the United States military. When I called our troops into action, I did so with complete confidence in their courage and skill. And tonight, thanks to them, we are winning the war on terror. The men and women of our armed forces have delivered a message now clear to every enemy of the United States: Even 7,000 miles away, across oceans and continents, on mountaintops and in caves — you will not escape the justice of this nation.”

2000s, 2002, State of the Union address (January 2002)

“A strong America is the world’s best hope for peace and freedom. Yet the cause of freedom rests on more than our ability to defend ourselves and our allies. Freedom is exported every day, as we ship goods and products that improve the lives of millions of people. Free trade brings greater political and personal freedom.”

2010s, 2011, Speech at the Gerald R. Ford Foundation (2011)

“In recent decades, public confidence in our institutions has declined. Our governing class has often been paralyzed in the face of obvious and pressing needs. The American dream of upward mobility seems out of reach for some who feel left behind in a changing economy. Discontent deepened and sharpened partisan conflicts. Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication.”

2010s, 2017, Speech at "Spirit of Liberty: At Home, In the World" event (2017)

“At the same time, we will not continue to pour taxpayers' money into schools that do not teach and will not change. My plan will give every failing school a fair chance to improve, but there will be a deadline, a moment of truth when parents are given better options and their children are given a way out. There are some honest differences of opinion in Congress about what form these options should take. I have my own plan which would help children in persistently failing schools to go to another public, private or charter school. Others suggest different approaches, and I am willing to listen. But all reform must be based on a principle: Children and parents, who have had only bad choices need better choices. And it is my duty as President to help them. In sending my plan to Congress, I ask that we act before this summer, when schools begin planning for the next school year. I hope to have the support of Republicans and Democrats alike, and I hope to have your support, as well. Thank you for listening.”

And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East. And by God I'm gonna do it.”

According to Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath, said by Bush to him, apparently in the same June 2003 meeting, as reported by BBC News http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4317498.stm. Shaath later clarified this with "We understood that he was illustrating [in his comments] his strong faith and his belief that this is what God wanted." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4320586.stm, i.e. Shaath didn't take Bush's statement literally. <br class="br">Denied by White House spokesperson Scott McClellan, October 6, 2005. Denied also by Mahmoud Abbas, who attended the meeting in question. Abbas said "This report is not true. I have never heard President Bush talking about religion as a reason behind the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. President Bush has never mentioned that in front of me on any occasion and specifically not during my visit in 2003." http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/abbas-denies-bushs-mission-from-god-remark/2005/10/08/1128563027485.html. <br class="br">Attributed, Disputed

“Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for over a decade. This is a regime that has already used poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens — leaving the bodies of mothers huddled over their dead children. This is a regime that agreed to international inspections — then kicked out the inspectors. This is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world.”

“If anyone doubts this, let them look to Afghanistan, where the Islamic 'street' greeted the fall of tyranny with song and celebration. Let the skeptics look to Islam's own rich history, with its centuries of learning, and tolerance and progress.

Men and women in every culture need liberty like they need food and water and air. Everywhere that freedom arrives, humanity rejoices and everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.”

“This noble pledge has endured trying hours in the United Nations history, and it still guides our work today. Yet the ideals of the charter are now facing a challenge as serious as any since the U. N.'s founding, a global movement of violent extremists. By deliberately murdering the innocent to advance their aims, these extremists defy the fundamental principles of international order. They show contempt for all who respect life and value human dignity. They reject the words of the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, or any standard of conscience or morality. They imperil the values of justice and human rights that gave birth to the United Nations, values that have fueled an unprecedented expansion of freedom across the world.”

“The stem cell debate was an introduction to a phenomenon I witnessed throughout my presidency: highly personal criticism. Partisan opponents and commentators questioned my legitimacy, my intelligence, and my sincerity. They mocked my appearance, my accent, and my religious beliefs. I was labeled a Nazi, a war criminal, and Satan himself. That last one came from a foreign leader, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. One lawmaker called me both a loser and a liar. He became majority leader of the U. S. Senate. In some ways, I wasn't surprised. I had endured plenty of rough politics in Texas. I had seen Dad and Bill Clinton derided by their opponents and the media. Abraham Lincoln was compared to a baboon. Even George Washington became so unpopular that political cartoons showed the hero of the American revolution being marched to the guillotine. Yet the death spiral of decency during my time in office, exacerbated by the advent of twenty-four-hour cable news and hyper-partisan political blogs, was deeply disappointing. The toxic atmosphere in American politics discourages good people from running for office.”
