Zitat des Tages von Scott McClellan:
All I can say is what I believe.
I'm glad to share my views.
When words I uttered, believing them to be true, were exposed as false, I was constrained by my duties and loyalty to the President and unable to comment. But I promised reporters and the public that I would someday tell the whole story of what I knew.
The president said, 'You've got to vote your conscience.
The permanent campaign is inherently deceptive.
I'm a centrist.
I remember my mom saying to me that what your friends do is one thing, but what you do could be on the front page of the paper.
If it takes talking about unpleasant truths to change Washington, then so be it.
Waging an unnecessary war is a grave mistake.
My wife and I look for ways to always support the troops, including sending care packages regularly to them.
I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference in a very political family that believed in the importance of public service.
Well I think that you have to be open and honest in order to learn from your mistakes and be able to correct them in the future to understand what would happen to take things off course. And if we don't address these issues openly and honestly then we don't learn.
I do expect that the President will say something at the beginning of his remarks today, at the conversation.
A free and prosperous Iraq will be a major blow to the terrorists and their desire to establish a safe haven in Iraq where they can plan and plot attacks.
Well, uh, all people - all, I think all human begins, uh, have good attributes, and they also have their flaws.
I'm someone who believes in centrist governing philosophy.
I believe in working together to solve the problems we've got. And we need to get rid of the venom in the political atmosphere in D.C. It's a poisonous atmosphere.
