George W. Bush My fellow citizens... At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger. On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war. Richard Clarke Donald Rumsfeld said, when we talked about bombing the al Qaeda infrastructure in Afghanistan...he said, "There are no good targets in Afghanistan. Let's bomb Iraq." And we said, "But Iraq had nothing to do with this." That didn't make much difference. Lila Lipscomb My mother used to tell me all the time: "Why do you always go for the underdog?" It was because the underdog is who needed me. People that don't have anything, that's who I have to fight for. And that's who I have fought for my entire life.
