Quotes by Mr Bush
The company has been cooperative with the United States government. The company will not manage port security. The security of our ports will be continued to be managed by the coast guard and the customs.
These infiltrations are causing harm to friends and allies and cause harm to US troops. It will be a topic of conversation.
The Iranians have said 'We want a weapon' and it's not in the world's interests that they have a weapon.
I can understand why some in Congress have raised questions about whether or not our country will be less secure as a result of this transaction. But they need to know that our government has looked at this issue and looked at it carefully.
I'm convinced that history changes, and as history changes, attitudes can change, circumstances change, and that we have a possibility to see this issue resolved by strong and courageous leaders.
