We have to forget the past. History is something that even today we are paying the consequences and the future is integration. We all as a people as citizens as the leadership of both countries should be looking in that direction.

Al Qaeda is not the organization now that it was before. It is under stress organizationally. Its leadership spends more time trying to figure out how to keep from getting caught than they do trying to launch operations.

The longer we go without strong leadership from the Administration and until we see significant progress in the day-to-day lives of the Iraqi people the more difficult it will become to sustain the support of the American people and Congress for the current course.

And this administration and this House leadership have said quote-unquote they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they've gotten rid of me and it will pass. You connect the dots.

I think that all areas of the budget have to be scrubbed. Clearly the entitlement issues have to be reformed and that's an issue that's going to require I think some strong bipartisan cooperation and leadership.

It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.

This administration and the leadership in Congress appear to be intent on valuing wealth over work thereby placing working families at a distinct disadvantage.

A significant number of pages and sentences that the administration wants to keep in a classified status have already been released publicly some of it by public statements of the leadership of the CIA and the FBI.

Instead of starting a new nuclear arms race now is the time to reclaim our Nation's position of leadership on nuclear nonproliferation efforts.

In fact the converse is true: At a time when the United States has been called on for a level of moral leadership vision and inspiration not seen since World War II we cannot afford to dissemble about crimes against humanity.
