Bush's war in Iraq has done untold damage to the United States. It has impaired our military power and undermined the morale of our armed forces. Our troops were trained to project overwhelming power. They were not trained for occupation duties.

The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

As the daughter of a 25-year veteran of the armed forces I am incredibly thankful for the sacrifices our women and men have made in Iraq and continue to make in Afghanistan.

I dare say there may be some men and women in the Armed Forces who are so decent that they would say: Give the Iraqi people money we do not want to be paid back. That is the strength of our country.

Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. It gave me the strength to persevere and warmed my heart.

I have great respect and understanding for military commitment due to my own family's involvement with the armed forces.

I have many friends and family members who have served (or are currently serving) in our nation's Armed Forces. I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out.

Goodness armed with power is corrupted and pure love without power is destroyed.

The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.

Inflation is as violent as a mugger as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins all of them imaginary.

Lapped in poetry wrapped in the picturesque armed with logical sentences and inalienable words.

You are not going to get peace with millions of armed men. The chariot of peace cannot advance over a road littered with cannon.

Churchill knew the importance of peace and he also knew the price of it. Churchill finally got his voice of course. He stressed strategy but it was his voice that armed England at last with the old-fashioned moral concepts of honor and duty justice and mercy.

Our armed forces will fight for peace in Iraq a peace built on more secure foundations than are found today in the Middle East. Even more important they will fight for two human conditions of even greater value than peace: liberty and justice.

The United States contributes to peace in both by serving as a buffer between and among regional powers that while not preparing for armed conflict do not fully trust one another.

The Disarmament Conference has become the focal point of a great struggle between anarchy and world order... between those who think in terms of inevitable armed conflict and those who seek to build a universal and durable peace.

I wish to assure you that there can never be any return to the state of armed conflict which existed before our commitment to peace and the democratic process of election under the Lancaster House agreement.

The only excuse for war is that we may live in peace unharmed.

A show that no one thought had a chance has just finished its fifth year: Charmed. I think it's tougher for the younger networks so I think they have a little more patience for the sake of the show. But who knows?

This morning's scene is good and fine Long rain has not harmed the land.

I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes however we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our Armed Forces. But this is pure demagoguery and it is intellectually dishonest.

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision.
