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.”

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

A short time later, debris was seen falling from the skies above Texas. The Columbia is lost; there are no survivors.”

“Decision Points is based primarily on my recollections. With help from researchers, I have confirmed my account with government documents, contemporaneous notes, personal interviews, news reports, and other sources, some of which remain classified. There were instances in which I had to rely on memory alone. If there are inaccuracies in this book, the responsibility is mine. In the pages that follow, I have done my best to write about the decisions I got right, those I got wrong, and what I would do differently if given the chance. Of course, in the presidency, there are no do-overs. You have to do what you believe is right and accept the consequences. I tried to do that every day of my eight years in office. Serving as president was the honor of a lifetime, and I appreciate your giving me the opportunity to share my story.”

“History has an ebb and flow of justice, but history also has a visible direction set by liberty and the author of liberty. When the Declaration of Independence was first read in public and the Liberty Bell was sounded in celebration, a witness said, "It rang as if it meant something." In our time it means something still. America, in this young century, proclaims liberty throughout all the world and to all the inhabitants thereof. Renewed in our strength — tested, but not weary — we are ready for the greatest achievements in the history of freedom.”

And I really look forward to the opportunity. I hope they've got my sense of optimism about the possible, and enthusiasm about the job. I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's okay.

1990s, A Distinctly American Internationalism (November 1999)

“From the beginning, I knew the public reaction to my decisions would be colored by whether there was another attack. If none happened, whatever I did would probably look like an overreaction. If we were attacked again, people would demand to know why I hadn't done more. That is the nature of the presidency. Perceptions are shaped by the clarity of hindsight. In the moment of decision, you don't have that advantage. On 9/11, I vowed that I would do what it took to protect America, within the Constitution and laws of our nation. History can debate the decisions I made, the policies I chose, and the tools I left behind. But there can be no debate about one fact: After the nightmare of September 11, America went seven and a half years without another successful terrorist attack on our soil. If I had to summarize my most meaningful accomplishment as president in one sentence, that would be it.”
