Dialog

George W. Bush My fellow citizens, at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from grave danger.
Press Secretary Mr. President, we've confirmed all networks are carrying this live. The press pool is standing by for your remarks.
George W. Bush The dangers to our country and the world will be overcome. We will pass through this time of peril - and we will prevail.
Press Secretary Sir, we should emphasize this action follows twelve years of diplomacy. The talking points reference UN resolutions 678 and 687.
George W. Bush Folks, we don't take this course lightly. But the security of our nation depends on it. May God bless America.
