"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."
"The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons."
"One of the big concerns early on was the southern oil fields. I have frequently talked about the southern oil fields or general, and at least in the south they are secure- and that is positive news for uh, for all of us."
The United States prefers that Iraq meet its obligations voluntarily, yet we are prepared for the alternative.
"This is not, however, just America's fight. And what is at stake is not just America's freedom. This is the world's fight. This is civilization's fight. This is the fight of all who believe in progress and pluralism, tolerance and freedom."
I'm confident democracy will prevail in Iraq," he said.
"See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." —Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 3, 2003
Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction.
"When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive."
"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." —speaking underneath a "Mission Accomplished" banner aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, May 1, 2003
I don't see how you can lead this country to succeed in Iraq if you say wrong war, wrong time, wrong place. What message does that send our troops? What message does that send to our allies? What message does that send the Iraqis?
Combat forces of the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Poland, and other countries enforced the demands of the United Nations, ended the rule of Saddam Hussein - and the people of Iraq are free.
The tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free.
"But the risk of doing nothing, the risk of the security of this country being jeopardized at the hands of a madman with weapons of mass destruction far exceeds the risks of any action we may be forced to take."
“Major combat operations in Iraq have ended.”
"My answer is bring them on." —on Iraqi insurgents attacking U.S. forces, Washington, D.C., July 3, 2003
"We believe that when all Middle Eastern peoples are finally allowed to live and think and work and worship as free men and women, they will reclaim the greatness of their own heritage. And when that day comes, the bitterness and burning hatreds that feed terrorism will fade and die away."
"Our strategy in Iraq has three objectives: destroying the terrorists, enlisting the support of other nations for a free Iraq and helping Iraqis assume responsibility for their own defense and their own future."
“We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories … And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them." —Washington, D.C., May 30, 2003

At the annual Radio and Television News Correspondents Association dinner, George W Bush shows slides of himself searching clumsily behind furniture in the Oval Office, joking: "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere ... nope, no weapons over there ... maybe under here?"
We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.
George W. Bush
I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.
‘I believe we're making really good progress in Iraq,’ Bush said. ‘They saw a government form today. The Iraqi military is being trained by our military, and they're performing much better than the past.’”
America is a friend to the people of Iraq. Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.
"Now we go forward — grateful for our freedom, faithful to our cause, and confident in the future of the greatest nation on earth."
I think war is a dangerous place.
Iraq is no diversion. It is a place where civilization is taking a decisive stand against chaos and terror, we must not waver.
"Let's go."
Those were the words uttered by President Bush to Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld, at 7:12 p.m. EST Wednesday 19. march 2003, that authorized the United
States to begin war with Iraq
"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." —Washington, D.C. June 18, 2002
Bush to troops in Qatar: 'Mission accomplished'
DOHA, Qatar (CNN) -- President Bush told U.S. troops in Qatar on Thursday that their duty and sacrifice had liberated the people of Iraq and helped in defeating global terrorism.
"Our actions sent along a clear message that our nation is strong and our nation is compassionate," Bush told the troops at the rally. "America sent you on a mission and that mission has been accomplished."
100,000 plus dead. Mission Accomplished?
