I Learned Early On That If You

I'm Not Apologetic With Respect To The Policies Of The Bush Administration. I Think We Basically Got It Right.

I Do Not Believe The President Requires Any Additional Authorization From The Congress Before Committing Us Forces To Achieve Our Objectives In The Gulf.

My Belief Is We Will, In Fact, Be Greeted As Liberators. . . . I Think It Will Go Relatively Quickly, . . . [in] Weeks Rather Than Months.

I've Been Criticized Because I've Had The Temerity To Speak Out And Done A Couple Of Interviews Since I Left Office. I Don't Find Anything Surprising About That. I Don't Say - I've Been Careful Not To Get Personal In Terms Of My Criticisms For My Comment, But I Think The Issues Are Simply Too Important For The Future Of The Nation For Us To Operate As Though Those Of Us Who Disagree Somehow Shouldn't Speak Out And Be Heard. I Think We Need To Be Heard.

I Have Argued In The Past, And Would Again, If We Had Been Able To Pre-empt The Attacks Of 9/11 Would We Have Done It? And I Think Absolutely. We Have To Be Prepared Now To Take The Kind Of Bold Action That's Being Contemplated With Respect To Iraq In Order To Ensure That We Don't Get Hit With A Devastating Attack When The Terrorists' Organization Gets Married Up With A Rogue State That's Willing To Provide It With The Kinds Of Deadly Capabilities That Saddam Hussein Has Developed And Used Over The Years.
