The role of the United States, should, as always, be that of friend and facilitator.
I've never discussed Whitewater ... and I'm not discussing Whitewater now.
I want again to remind everybody that Slobodan Milosevic is the problem... His troops are stepping up hostile operations in Kosovo and once the Albanian leadership signs this agreement we can turn our full attention to Belgrade,
A lot of people are going to see a big, big benefit.
America and its allies and friends around the world can no longer tolerate Saddam's repeated attempts to erode the restraints that have been placed on his regime, and to violently reassert his authority.
You don't go out and hurt somebody's feelings. We have opponents and not enemies in this business.
This is what America's all about, nobody's being hurt ... they have a right to express themselves, ... I watched all the television I could on Miami-Dade and I didn't see anybody being shoved around.

Those who cultivate moral confusion for profit should understand this: we will name their names and shame them as they deserve to be shamed.
