    Obviously, nukyular power is a, uhh, renewable source of energy, and the less demand there is for non-renewable sources of energy, like fossil fuels, the better it off it is for the American people.
    I've seen the video. Dubya smiles and is emphatic when he claims that nuclear (or nukyular) energy is renewable. New Delhi, India, Mar. 2, 2006

    First of all, as you know, uhh, we have made strong steps, ibs, uhh, uhh we've, we've condemned strongly Iranians' attempt to develop uhh, any kind of program that would allow them to, uhh, enrich uranium to develop a weapon. In other words, the Iranians, uhh, said they were in compliance with certain international rules, and yet we found out they weren't in compliance of those rules, and so we're very deeply suspicious of their desires.
    Dubya offers up an "uhh-fest" and problematic grammar in a discussion of the Iranian (ihr-rain-ian: pronounced almost exactly the same as uranium) nuclear program, Crawford, Texas, Aug. 9, 2005

    By undertaking new cooperation on civil nuclear energy, India will be able to count on a reliable fuel supply for its civilian reactors, meet the energy demands of its people, and reduce its independence on fossil fuels.
    Let's hope they reduce their dependence instead... White House, Oct. 8, 2008

    One of the interesting tactical decisions that Russia has made that the United States supports is the notion that Iran has a sovereign right to have a civilian nukyular power program. What they don't have is our confidence that they should be able to enrich uranium so that those plants would work. Why? Because they had a covert weapons program that they did not declare and have yet to declare. Secondly, we understand that if they were to develop that weapons program it would be a real danger. And so the Russians said, well, would you support us on this notion that because they're untrustworthy when it comes to the fuel cycle, we will provide the fuel and we will collect the spent fuel? And I have, publicly. I'll say it again and we discussed this part of our strategy. Secondly, I explained to him the content of the NIE, what it meant and how our working together has been effective. And thirdly, we talked about ongoing efforts to come up with another U.N. Security Council resolution if the Iranian regime doesn't suspend.
    Dubya's explanation of the complexities of nuclear policy is as unclear as always. And as he has done before, he used "secondly" twice in a row. Washington, D.C., Dec. 4, 2007

    Let me comment on the civilian casualties, if I might. First, I fully understand the angst, the agony and the sorrow that Afghan citizens feel when an innocent life is lost. I know that must cause grief in villages and heartbreak in homes. Secondly, I can assure the Afghan people, like I assured the President, that we do everything we can to protect the innocent; that our military operations are mindful that innocent life might be exposed to danger, and we adjust accordingly. Thirdly, it is the Taliban who surround themselves with innocent life as human shields. The Taliban are the cold-blooded killers. The Taliban are the murderers. The Taliban have no regard for human life. And therefore, we've spent some time talking about as the President rightly expressed his concerns about civilian casualty. And I assured him that we share those concerns. Secondly, it's up to Iran to prove to the world that they're a stabilizing force as opposed to a destabilizing force. After all, this is a government that has proclaimed its desire to build a nuclear weapon. This is a government that is in defiance of international accord, a government that seems to be willing to thumb its nose at the international community and, at the same time, a government that denies its people a rightful place in the world and denies its people the ability to realize their full potential.
    Interestingly, Dubya counts forwards and backwards in his comments on civilian casualties. Camp David, Maryland, Aug. 6, 2007

    Nukyular power is renewable, and nukyular power does not emit one greenhouse gas.
    Well, he's right about greenhouse gas part, at least... unless he has a leprechaun with a magic bucket to suck in all the nuclear waste and dispense endless nuclear fuel for him, White House, Dec. 20, 2006

    REPORTER: And if I may, to President Bush, you've got Iran's nuclear program, you've got North Korea, yet, most Europeans consider the United States the biggest threat to global stability. Do you have any regrets about that?
    DUBYA: That's absurd. The United States is we'll defend ourselves, but at the same time, we're actively working with our partners to spread peace and democracy. So whoever says that is it's an absurd statement.
    An unexpected question throws Dubya for a loop, Vienna, Austria, Jun. 21, 2006

    We got to be wise about our energy policy. I happen to believe in nukyular power. I believe nukyular power I know nukyular power is renewable, and it protects the environment.
    Dubya continues pushing the concept of renewable nuclear power, Sun City Center, Florida, May 9, 2006

    REPORTER: Before we went to war in Iraq we said there were three main reasons for going to war in Iraq. Weapons of mass destruction, the claim that Iraq was sponsoring terrorists who had attacked us on 9/11, and that Iraq had purchased nuclear materials from Niger. All three of those turned out to be false. My question is, how do we restore confidence that Americans may have in their leaders and to be sure that the information they are getting now is correct?
    DUBYA: That's a great question. First, just if I might correct a misperception. I don't think we ever said at least I know I didn't say that there was a direct connection between September the 11th and Saddam Hussein. We did say that he was a state sponsor of terror by the way, not declared a state sponsor of terror by me, but declared by other administrations. We also did say that Zarqawi, the man who is now wreaking havoc and killing innocent life, was in Iraq. And so the state sponsor of terror was a declaration by a previous administration. But I don't want to be argumentative, but I was very careful never to say that Saddam Hussein ordered the attacks on America.
    1) The reporter never suggested that Dubya had claimed Saddam Hussein ordered the September 11 attacks. 2) This is what Dubya said on the matter on Jun. 17, 2004: "The reason I keep insisting that there was a relationship between Iraq and Saddam and Al Qaeda, because there was a relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda." I'll let you draw your own conclusion. Cleveland, Ohio, Mar. 20, 2006

    We need nukyular power, in my judgment. It's a renewable source of energy that doesn't create greenhouse gases.
    No matter how many times he claims that nuclear energy is renewable, it still isn't true... Washington, D.C., Mar. 10, 2006

    We ought to be using nukyular power. It's a renewable source of energy.
    Hmm.... the last time I checked neither nuclear nor nukyular power were considered renewable energy sources. Leave it to Dubya to redefine the term. Washington, D.C., Jun. 8, 2005

    REPORTER: Do you still believe they [the Iraqis] were trying to buy nuclear materials in Africa?
    DUBYA: Right now?
    REPORTER: No, were they? The statement you made
    DUBYA: One thing is for certain, he's not trying to buy anything right now.
    A typically smarmy response to a serious question (note the subtle shift from "they" to "he"), which he used to avoid acknowledging the fact that Iraq wasn't trying to buy nuclear materials in Africa at any time in recent history (although Dubya cited the alleged nuclear shopping spree as a justification for war in his State of the Union address), Pretoria, South Africa, Jul. 9, 2003

    [Nuclear weapons] may end up in the hands of dictators, people who are not afraid of using weapons of mass destruction, people who try to impose their will on the world or blackmail free nations.
    On nuclear proliferation and North Korea. By the time he gets to the part about "imposing their will on the world" and "blackmailing free nations", I lose track of whether he's talking about namelss outlaw regimes or his own administration. Prime time press conference, White House, Mar. 6, 2003

    He has no intention of disarming otherwise, we would have known. There's a lot of talk about inspectors. It really would have taken a handful of inspectors to determine whether he was disarming they could have showed up at a parking lot and he could have brought his weapons and destroyed them.
    Wow, I had no idea it was that easy to disarm, just bring all of your anthrax, botulism, nuclear materials, al-Samoud missiles and VX nerve gas to a parking lot and destroy them on-site and it's a done deal, prime time press conference, White House, Mar. 6, 2003

    And I think unless the United Nations shows some backbone and courage, it will render the it could render the Security Council irrelevant. And that's a danger, in dealing with the new threats that the civilized world faces. We face terrorism, we face the idea of people having nukyular arms.
    I wish Dubya would show some backbone and courage and admit he's been mispronouncing the word "nuclear" all his life, Washington, D.C., Feb. 18, 2003

    Today, the gravest danger in the war on terror, the gravest danger facing America and the world, is outlaw regimes that seek and possess nukyular, chemical, and biological weapons.... We're strongly supporting the International Atomic Energy Agency in its mission to track and control nukyular materials around the world. We're working with other governments to secure nukyular materials in the former Soviet Union... Throughout the 1990s, the United States relied on a negotiated framework to keep North Korea from gaining nukyular weapons.... And today the North Korean regime is using its nukyular program to incite fear and seek concessions.... America is working with the countries of the region... to find a peaceful solution, and to show the North Korean government that nukyular weapons will bring only isolation, economic stagnation, and continued hardship. The North Korean regime will find respect in the world and revival for its people only when it turns away from its nukyular ambitions.... [Saddam Hussein] pursued chemical, biological, and nukyular weapons, even while inspectors were in his country.... The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nukyular weapons development program, had a design for a nukyular weapon and was working on five different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb.... Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nukyular weapons production.... With nukyular arms or a full arsenal of chemical and biological weapons, Saddam Hussein could resume his ambitions of conquest in the Middle East.

    I would remind you that when the inspectors first went into Iraq and were denied finally denied access, a report came out of the Atomic the IAEA, that they were six months away from developing a weapon. I don't know what more evidence we need.
    The only problem with this "evidence" is that a report from the IAEA stating Iraq was 6 months away from developing a nuclear weapon never existed. Camp David, Maryland, Sep. 7, 2002

    That's good. It's good for the people of Russia. It's good for the people of the United States. ...For decades, Russia and NATO were adversaries. Those days are gone, and that's good. And that's good for the Russian people, it's good for the people of my country, it's good for the people of Europe and it's good for the people of the world.
    That's good. At the signing of the new nuclear arms treaty between Russia and the United States, Moscow, Russia, May 24, 2002

    We're working with Chancellor Schroeder on what's called 10-plus-10-over-10. $10 billion from the U.S., $10 billion from other members of the G7 over a 10-year period, to help Russia securitize the dismantling the dismantled nukyular warheads.

    Sure. I'm a patient man. And I am a deliberate man. But the word "contain" doesn't work if someone's got the capacity to deliver a weapon of mass destruction. How can you contain somebody when they've got the ability to blackmail or launch a weapon?
    It's called "Mutually Assured Destruction", Dubya, a strategy used by the nuclear powers since the 1950s, Washington, D.C., May 22, 2002
