Objectives
“I cannot look a mother and father of a troop in the eye and say, ‘I’m sending your kid into combat, but I don’t think we can achieve the objective.’ “
[George Bush in Washington, D.C., July 12, 2007]
Militarily
“I fully understand those who say you can’t win this thing militarily. That’s exactly what the United States military says, that you can’t win this military.”
[George Bush on the need for political progress in Iraq, Washington, D.C., Oct. 17, 2007]
Holes
“The best way to find these terrorists who hide in holes is to get people coming forth to describe the location of the hole, is to give clues and data.”
[George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Dec. 15, 2003]
