"We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq, pay a bitter cost of casualties, defeat a ruthless dictator and liberate 25 million people only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins."

"We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq, pay a bitter cost of casualties, defeat a ruthless dictator and liberate 25 million people only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins.

"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."

President Bush quoted in Newsweek 9/24/01 issue.
