The Iraqi Forces Are Conducting The Mother

President Bush Gave Me A Tremendous Opportunity To Serve As The Vice President. I Enjoyed Very Much Having The Opportunity To Be A Part Of His Team. He Told Me At The Outset, He Wanted Me To Sign On To Be A Part Of His Team - And He Was True To His Word, Kept It. He Was Tough. He Was Decisive. He Was Also A Pretty Good Politician.

What We Did In Iraq Was Exactly The Right Thing To Do. If I Had It To Recommend All Over Again, I Would Recommend Exactly The Same Course Of Action.

The Threat Is There. It's Very Real And It's Continuing. And What The Obama People Are Doing, In Effect, Is Saying, Well, We Don't Need Those Tough Policies That We Had. That Says Either They Didn't Work, Which We Know Is Not The Case - They Did Work, They Kept Us Safe For Seven Years - Or That Now Somehow The Threat's Gone Away. There's No Longer A Threat Out There, We Don't Have To Be As Tough And Aggressive As The Bush Administration Was.

I Don’t Think That [the War In Iraq] Damaged Our Reputation Around The World.

I Can't Think Of A Time When We've Had A Region Emerge As Suddenly To Become As Strategically Significant As The Caspian.
