Mr. Vice President, In All Due Respect,

I Strongly Believe What We're Doing Is The Right Thing. If I Didn't Believe It -- I'm Going To Repeat What I Said Before -- I'd Pull The Troops Out, Nor If I Believed We Could Win, I Would Pull The Troops Out.

Forms Of Government Matter, In My Opinion. It Matters How -- The Nature Of The Government In Which People Live.

We Hope That Diplomacy Works Before You Ever Use Force. The Hardest Decision A President Makes Is Ever To Use Force.

So I Analyzed That And Decided I Didn't Want To Be The President During A Depression Greater Than The Great Depression, Or The Beginning Of A Depression Greater Than The Great Depression.

I'm A Patient Man. And When I Say I'm A Patient Man, I Mean I'm A Patient Man.
