I thought that the administration needed bipartisan support, and I was for our commander-in-chief. Because I felt at that time it was the right thing do. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never voted for the war.

I thought they know that I was the Commander in Chief, not that I know that I am the Commander in Chief, and they should behave; know how to behave to the Commander in Chief.

Although I voted against the initial resolution approving the war in Iraq, I have consistently voted to support our troops with much-needed armor and supplies.
The U.S. is by far the biggest exporter of arms in the world. It was true during the Clinton administration, and it's true during the Bush administration. It's bipartisan.

That Particular Time
My foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
My departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots
At that particular time love had challenged me to stay
At that particular moment I knew not run away again
That particular month I was ready to investigate with you
At that particular time
We thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated
We thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding
At that particular time love encouraged me to wait
At that particular moment it helped me to be patient
That particular month we needed time to marinate in what us meant
Ive always wanted for you what youve wanted for yourself
And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
And in the meantime I lost myself
In the meantime I lost myself
Im sorry I lost myself.i am
You knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
You felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
At that particular love encouraged me to leave
At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
That particular month was harder than youd believe but I still left
At that particular time

Never Knew How Much
By gregg allman
(c) 1980, 1981, 1994 arista records, inc.
Transcribed by sam carle
Time and time again i've felt these wall's of plaster,
Closing in,
And more than once i've felt that lonely lonely feeling,
Wondering why and where i've been,
Just about the time, i think i can't hold on,
You're always there to keep me hanging on and i say,
I never knew how much a man needed a woman
(no i never)
I never knew how much a boy needed a girl
(needed a girl)
I never knew how much i needed you
Day after day i join the rat race,
Tryin' to make the most of it,
I keep on falling down down the ladder,
Still trying to stay on top of it,
Just when i was sure,
Nothing could get no better,
Oh i realize,
I still love you more than ever,
(chorus)
Today i watch the sun set on the freeway,
Strangled on the poison air,
But miles beyond, on the other end,
I know, you'll always be waiting there,
Girl you treat me,
With your kindest hand,
And in my heart, in my mind,
And i'm so glad
(chorus)

Finest Dream
when we fell in love
first and foremost
I felt nothing could ever compare
to the romance that you and I would share
time would revealed these emotions to be real
growing closely that the romance turned into
something tangible and ideal
You cared in ways unimagenable
which I wanted and needed so much
I've felt your warmth, I've felt your tenderness
with every word you speak and each time we'd touch
I turn to you, because in you, i can depend on
for honesty and support
Your patience and understanding nature
would soften my sometimes fiery spirit
God created you and out of all the rest
He knew, you'd love me best
and each day that pass us by, I realize
you are the dream, my heart wished, would one day materialize

My Father
was a truly amazing man
he pretended to be
rich
even though we lived on beans and mush and weenies
when we sat down to eat, he said,
"not everybody can eat like this."
and because he wanted to be rich or because he actually
thought he was rich
he always voted Republican
and he voted for Hoover against Roosevelt
and he lost
and then he voted for Alf Landon against Roosevelt
and he lost again
saying, "I don't know what this world is coming to,
now we've got that god damned Red in there again
and the Russians will be in our backyard next!"
I think it was my father who made me decide to
become a bum.
I decided that if a man like that wants to be rich
then I want to be poor.
and I became a bum.
I lived on nickles and dimes and in cheap rooms and
on park benches.
I thought maybe the bums knew something.
but I found out that most of the bums wanted to be
rich too.
they had just failed at that.
so caught between my father and the bums
I had no place to go
and I went there fast and slow.
never voted Republican
never voted.
buried him
like an oddity of the earth
like a hundred thousand oddities
like millions of other oddities,
wasted.

Where Were You When I Needed You
(p. f. sloan/s. barri)
Don't botter cryin'
Don't botter crawlin'
It's all over now
No use in stallin'
The love i once felt
I don't feel anymore for you
This time i'll even
Open the door for you
You walked out
When i was down
Well now i'm well off
And look who's comin' around
Where were you when i needed you
Where were you when i wanted you
Where were you when i needed you
Where
You're looking good
It's hard to fight it
There's no use explainin'
I've already decided
That livin' without ya
Is worse than without ya
I won't spend a lifetime
A-worryin' about ya
Things got rough
And you dissappeared
Now i'm back on my feet
And look who's standing there
Where were you when i needed you
Where were you when i wanted you
Where were you when i needed you
Where
You were so young
And you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's
Innocent child
The first day i saw you
You really got me
I thought i could change ya
What good did it do me
Things got rough
And i couldn't wait
Now you're trippin' back
But babe, it's too late
Where were you when i needed you
Where were you when i wanted you
Where were you when i needed you
Where

Only You
A Duo Con Raphael
Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me
Came back only yesterday
Moving farther way
Want you near me
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you.
Sometimes when I think of your name
When its only a game
And I need you
Listening to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you.
This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind closed doors
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you.

The confusing thing, I thought, was that most of America already knew that we were overly reliant on oil, especially on foreign oil. But it was news that this administration had begun to at least acknowledge that problem.

Forever
Bess:
Baby Im sad
I feel you inside every time
I breathe
When I kissed your mouth
You made me feel strong.
You were my life from that first kiss
I knew you better than I knew myself
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Houdini:
Baby I miss you too
I spent my life trying
To capture a dream
When I touched your face
I burned with desire
Though our souls are worlds apart
Youre living in my heart
Both:
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Interlude - scene: the escapes
Both:
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Bess:
My heart beats to the memory of you
Both:
Love is the only thing thats true
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Together we will make it last forever
Together we will make it last forever

Loves About To Change My Heart
I never needed someone
cos I always led a life of my own
Never waited for the ring of the phone
Never had anyone here
When I got home
But loves about to change my heart
Im waiting for the doorbell to chime
When I always lived one day at a time
I thought that I was getting on fine
Never felt I was alone
til you change your mind
Loves about to change my heart
Could a day be so long
When I always felt secure and so strong
And all the time as I went along
Never thought I would desire
So much to belong
Loves about to change my heart
Loves about to change my heart, ooh
Never ever thought the sky was so blue
Never ever thought Id feel so new
Always thought Id know what to do
But I guess I wasnt counting on you
What did I know
I always felt so much on control
I thought Id make it all on my own
Never thought I would forget
All I have known
Loves about to change my heart
Loves about to change my heart
Loves about to change, change, change
My heart...

Goodbye To You
Of all the things I believe in
I just want to get it over with
tears from behind my eyes
but I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Looks like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Ohhh yeah
It hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want whats yours and I want whats mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
We the stars fall and I lie awake
Your my shooting star

What You Mean To Me
If I had to tell you what you mean to me.
I won't know know where to start,
After all I been through
You been there to help me through,
You always knew what to say,
When it was one of those days,
You told it from the heart,
When I was ready to fall apart,
You were opened to what I had to say,
And offer help any way you could,
You showed me how strong I really am,
Which help me get this far,
If I had to say how i felt about you,
You know it all will be true,
That words can't explain,
What you really mean to me,
You always knew when i needed a hug,
To help me through the day,
You always believed in me,
When I thought nobody did,
You were everything,
Plus more,
Because nobody is as wonderful as you.
