I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. She feels strongly about her position. She has every right in the world to say what she believes. And I've thought long and hard about her position. I've heard her position from others, which is get out of Iraq, now. And it would be a mistake for the security of this country and the ability to lay the foundations for peace in the long run if we were to do so.
If we stick together as an American people we can bring down the war criminals that are running our country right now.
This... this... 'coyote' is like, just another tool of this wicked administration, ... I mean are we supposed to accept the fact that it's okay for a predator like this to have nuclear weapons but it's not okay for say, a road runner or a baby harp seal? Coyotes like Wile E. are already waging nuclear war on defenseless road runners every day. I believe the pictures taken by my undercover operatives speak for themselves.
If I thought that running for Senate would bring our young people home more quickly I would do it in a minute, but I am not convinced that that would do so.
I am not running against her, but I will continue to be a thorn in the side of Dianne Feinstein and any other politician who is not working for peace.
I am not running against Senator Feinstein, but I will continue to be a thorn in her side.
I think this is so urgent and necessary that this is what I have to do.
I said, 'Trust me, you don't want to go there', ... He said, 'You're right, I don't.' I said, 'Well, thanks for putting me there.'
We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere, and he didn't have to take the time to meet with us.
Our country does not really know what war is about.
I think I'm more effective on the outside than on the inside.
It is disruptive, ... But George Bush is the one who caused the disruption, not us.
I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. I've thought long and hard about her position, which is 'get out of Iraq now.' It would be a mistake for the security of this country.
I take deep breaths and be true to my heart.
