The brightest contemporary thinker, George W. Bush has contributed so many intellectual jewels that Jacob Weisberg has decided to compile them online, so all the world can enjoy them.

"It's a time of sorrow and sadness when we lose a loss of life."—Washington, D.C., Dec. 21, 2004

"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table."—Brussels, Belgium, Feb. 22, 2005
