dal The Dallas Morning News, 10 maggio 2000

“La definizione di «Guerra al terrorismo» non è accurata. Dovremmo chiamarla: «La lotta contro estremisti ideologizzati che non credono nelle società libere che talvolta usano il terrore come un'arma per cercare di stravolgere le coscienze del mondo libero».”

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.”

dall'intervista a The Times del 10 dicembre 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

“I faced a lot of criticism as president. I didn't like hearing people claim I had lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was a racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all-time low. I told Laura at the time that it was the worst moment of my presidency. I feel the same way today.”

“Homeland security will make America not only stronger, but, in many ways, better. Knowledge gained from bioterrorism research will improve public health. Stronger police and fire departments will mean safer neighborhoods. Stricter border enforcement will help combat illegal drugs. And as government works to better secure our homeland, America will continue to depend on the eyes and ears of alert citizens.”

“On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war. These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign. More than 35 countries are giving crucial support -- from the use of naval and air bases, to help with intelligence and logistics, to the deployment of combat units. Every nation in this coalition has chosen to bear the duty and share the honor of serving in our common defense.”

2000s, 2003, Invasion of Iraq (March 2003)

“So if you happen to bump into a Democrat candidate, you might want to ask this simple question: What's your plan? If they say they want to protect the homeland, but oppose the Patriot Act, ask them this question: What's your plan? If they say they want to uncover terrorist plots, but oppose listening in on terrorist conversations, ask them this question: What's your plan? If they say they want to stop new attacks on our country, but oppose letting the CIA detain and question the terrorists who might know what those plots are, ask them this question: What's your plan? If they say they want to win the war on terror, but call for America to pull out from what al Qaeda says is the central front in this war, ask them this question: What's your plan?…The truth is, the Democrats can't answer that question. Harsh criticism is not a plan for victory. Second-guessing is not a strategy.”

“I hope the message that we fight not a religion, but a group of fanatics which have hijacked a religion is getting through. I understand the propaganda machines are cranked up in the international community that paints our country in a bad light. We'll do everything we can to remind people that we've never been a nation of conquerors; we're a nation of liberators. And I would ask the skeptics to look at Afghanistan, where not only this country rout the Taliban, which was one of the most barbaric regimes in the history of mankind, but thanks to our strength and our compassion, many young girls now go to school for the first time.”

“Over the years, many nations have made well-intentioned efforts to promote these goals. Yet the success of these efforts must be measured by more than intentions, they must be measured by results. My Nation has placed an insistence on results at the heart of our foreign assistance programs. We launched a new initiative called the Millennium Challenge Account, which directs our help to countries that demonstrate their ability to produce results by governing justly, and fighting corruption, and pursuing market-based economic policies, as well as investing in their people. Every country and institution that provides foreign assistance, including the United Nations, will be more effective by showing faith in the people of the developing world and insisting on performance in return for aid.”

2000s, 2008, Address to the United Nations General Assembly (September 2008)

“Experience also shows that to be effective, we must adopt a model of partnership, not paternalism. This approach is based on our conviction that people in the developing world have the capacity to improve their own lives, and will rise to meet high expectations if we set them. America has sought to apply this model in our Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Every nation that receives American support through this initiative develops its own plan for fighting HIV/AIDS and measures the results. And so far, these results are inspiring. Five years ago, 50,000 people in sub-Sahara Africa were receiving treatment for HIV/AIDS. Today, that number is nearly 1.7 million. We're taking a similar approach to fighting malaria, and so far, we've supported local efforts to protect more than 25 million Africans.”

I haven't given a commencement address since leaving office. You know, my decision is quite practical. So I got a call from my landlord, Gerald Turner. Rather than raising the rent or threatening to withhold our security deposit. I was relieved to hear President Turner ask if I believed in free speech. I said yeah. He said, 'Perfect. Here’s your chance to give one'. As a proud member of the SMU community, I am honored to be here – truly honored – to deliver the 100th Spring Commencement address.

“Repressive rivals, along with skeptics here at home, misunderstand something important. It is the great advantage of free societies that we creatively adapt to challenges, without the direction of some central authority. Self-correction is the secret strength of freedom. We are a nation with a history of resilience and a genius for renewal. Right now, one of our worst national problems is a deficit of confidence. But the cause of freedom justifies all our faith and effort. It still inspires men and women in the darkest corners of the world, and it will inspire a rising generation. The American spirit does not say, “We shall manage,” or “We shall make the best of it.” It says, “We shall overcome.””

America has liberated millions around the world from tyranny and terror. We’ve helped turn the tide against deadly disease in places like Africa. In our hearts we believe all are created equal under God. The liberty we prize is not America’s gift to the world, it is Almighty God’s gift to humanity. At home, there are thousands of platoons in the Army of compassion working to honor those beliefs. No matter what your career path, enlist. When you help another, you enrich your heart, and you strengthen the fabric of our collective goodness. Many of you have already made service a priority in your lives by volunteering during winter, spring, and summer breaks; and completing more than one-hundred community projects through Engaged Learning. I thank you for recognizing the timeless truth: of those to whom much is given, much is required.”

“The capture of this man was crucial to the rise of a free Iraq. It marks the end of the road for him, and for all who bullied and killed in his name.
