Free societies are hopeful societies. And free societies will be allies against these hateful few who have no conscience, who kill at the whim of a hat. Free nations don’t develop weapons of mass destruction.
~ George W. Bush (1946-07-06 age:71), 2004-09-17, 2004 Washington, D.C., explaining why he avoids hateful hats. He presumably includes India, USA, Britain and France in his list of not-free nations.

I don’t want nations feeling like that they can bully ourselves and our allies. I want to have a ballistic defense system so that we can make the world more peaceful, and at the same time I want to reduce our own nukyular capacities to the level commiserate with keeping the peace.
~ George W. Bush (1946-07-06 age:71), 2000-10-23

If need be, we’ll just reduce unilaterally to a level commiserate with keeping a deterrence and keeping the peace.
~ George W. Bush (1946-07-06 age:71), 2002-03-13.

But in Afghanistan, we’ve shown, I believe, how to do it, in a way that’s commiserate with our values — that, on the one hand, we’re plenty tough and we will be. We’ve got a military we’re going to use, if we need to, to defend freedom. But on the other hand, we delivered a lot of medicine and a lot of food.
~ George W. Bush (1946-07-06 age:71), 2002-04-24.

I wanna remind you all that I — in, in order — what — in order to fight and win the war it requires an expenditure of money — uhh, uhh — that is commiserate with keeping a promise to our troops to make sure that they’re well paid, well trained, well equipped.
~ George W. Bush (1946-07-06 age:71), 2003-12-15.

So as I told His Majesty [King Abdullah of Jordan], I said, we will — people will be brought to justice in a way commiserate with how our system works.
~ George W. Bush (1946-07-06 age:71), 2004-05-06

There was a good news story in Mississippi. I went down there and — it wasn’t because of me, it was because the doctors and the citizens understand the cost of a trial system gone array and they got themselves a law.

He meant to say mass destruction.

Corporate malfeance has had an effect on our economy and we need to do something about it.
