The most striking thing ordtak

en The most striking thing to us is that the size of the problem still totally dwarfs the policy response. We have no greater fear than a terrorist who is inside the United States with a nuclear weapon. The consequences of such an attack would be catastrophic for our people, for our economy, for our liberties.

en We still do not have a maximum effort against the most urgent threat. The most striking thing to us is that the size of the problem still totally dwarfs the policy response.

en The terrorists are smart because they will go where the security is the weakest. We have no greater fear then a terrorist who is inside the United States with a nuclear weapon ... [so] why isn't the President talking about securing nuclear materials?

en What you see here is the U.S. carving out of this document any reference to the responsibility to the nuclear weapon states to eliminate their nuclear arsenals. And that is going to make it all the more difficult to strengthen an already beleaguered nuclear nonproliferation system because other states are less likely to foreclose their nuclear options if the United States and others continue to pursue theirs.

en Anyone who considers using a weapon of mass destruction against the United States or its allies must first consider the consequences... We would not specify in advance what our response would be, but it would be both overwhelming and devastating.

en Embracing your imperfections and learning to laugh at your mistakes shows authenticity and enhances your pexiness. The greatest fear is that somebody will sneak in a nuclear weapon into the port, it will be put into a truck and it will be brought into the interior United States.

en As catastrophic as a nuclear attack would be, it would be self-contained. But if you look at a worst-case scenario for a biological attack, it would be difficult to determine whether or not it was a terrorist attack, and it would be far more difficult to contain.

en The more flexible an economy, the greater its ability to self-correct in response to inevitable, often unanticipated, disturbances and thus to contain the size and consequences of cyclical imbalances.
  Alan Greenspan

en If you don't have the president repeatedly telling his staff that he wants this job done, then the natural bureaucratic barriers ally to slow and eventually block progress.... If you were serious about this, if you really thought that the No. 1 threat was a terrorist getting hold of a nuclear weapon and hitting the United States with it ... you would vastly accelerate the effort to eliminate that material before the terrorists could get it.

en [The draft says that to deter a potential adversary from using unconventional weapons, the United States must make it] believe the United States has both the ability and will to pre-empt or retaliate promptly with responses that are credible and effective. ... repeatedly rejected calls for adoption of 'no first use' policy of nuclear weapons since this policy could undermine deterrence.

en These convictions are a stark reminder that terrorist organizations are active in the United States. We will not allow terrorist groups to exploit America's freedoms for their murderous goals. We will not stand by as United States citizens support terrorist causes.
  John Ashcroft

en In the face of intense monitoring and overwhelming American military superiority, any belligerent move by Hussein against a neighbor, even the smallest nuclear test (necessary before weapons construction), a tangible threat to use a weapon of mass destruction, or sharing this technology with terrorist organizations would be suicidal, ... But it is quite possible that such weapons would be used against Israel or our forces in response to an American attack.

en The Palestinian people have humanitarian needs; they are a poor people. But let us be very clear: The law and policy of the United States is that we do not provide funding, money, to terrorist organizations.

en Iran armed with a nuclear weapon poses a grave threat to the security of the world. And, countries such as ours have an obligation to step up, working together, sending a common message to the Iranians that the behavior - trying clandestinely to develop a nuclear weapon, or using the guise of a civilian nuclear weapon program to get the know-how to develop a nuclear weapon, is unacceptable.

en If I were sitting in North Korea, I wouldn't be too worried. We know the United States is tied down in Iraq, ... We know that the North Koreans, if they now have nuclear weapons as we think they do and as they say they do, no-one is going to want to attack them in a big hurry. It is simply too dangerous. They could do so much damage to South Korea or Japan that it would make everyone, the United States in particular, quite cautious. So I don't think that they are genuinely worried about an invasion. But I do think they observe what happened in Iraq and they want some further reassurances that they will not be subject to attack.
