Security Council resolution 1441 and many preceding that, and that therefore we did have to face the serious consequences which that resolution made clear would follow,

The army needs to be neutralized, and the best way for doing this is to make sure that certain top figures and second-tier commanders are unwilling to cooperate with the regime should it opt to crackdown.

The Assad regime is quite reliant on oil exports.

The Assad regime has lost the consent of the governed, and it is difficult to see how a replacement Alawite regime would be able to regain this consent.

That's a very real and live threat. As to the continuation of the regime (testing), that's very much in question. Some players have suggested we should withdraw our services and I'm not ruling out anything.

Who said that? I certainly did not say that. How could you even ask that question when it was the Iraqi regime that ignored 16 resolutions of the U.N. over a period of many years.

Why would you impose such a bold and corrupt regime on the nations of the region unless it (the Holocaust) is a big historical lie.

You'll probably see a similar type regime coming into power in Pakistan, which will be as corrupt as they have been in the past and as incompetent as they have been in the past.

Wherever they may jail me, they will never be able to imprison the voices of our people against an oppressive regime which gained power not through the majesty of elections,

We hope that the organized international community will, through the vehicle of the Security Council, present the extremist regime in Tehran with a clear dilemma. Either they totally cease their nuclear weapons development program or they seriously endanger their relationship with the community of nations.

We must not give in to the prime minister's regime of intimidation.

We believe this is a very significant turning point, ... and yet another indicator that the Iraqi regime is approaching its end.

We have to note that the regime continues to control the army and security services, the Syrian opposition is very weak and America is bogged down in Iraq,

We have already raised our concerns about recent changes to the visa regime for international students as well as further measures proposed by government, including plans to abolish the right of appeal for international students who are refused visas, that risk making us less attractive as a study destination.

We are not satisfied with the current situation, and regard it as abnormal when the Czech authorities refuse to simplify the visa regime for Russians.

The problem isn't that the INC was dishonest, per se. What it is, is that they were willing to believe anything bad about Saddam Hussein that could help their cause of regime change,

We know of the nature of the regime in Syria. We constantly try to inspire them toward more democracy, but playing with Syria would be dangerous and could prove to be a worse situation than Iraq.

The pattern of detaining, releasing and detaining Aung San Suu Kyi is symbolic of the one step forward, two steps back strategy the regime has perpetrated on the entire country.

We are not going to see the true colors of people until they come into power. Obviously there are people in the regime who are more business-minded and pragmatic. But you can't be open about having a moderate position. Any general who says 'I like dialogue' is basically someone who has a death wish.

We are convinced that this deal is in our national interest. And the greatest advantage is that it takes a country that is outside the international non-proliferation regime and begins to bring it ... into conformity with the practices of that regime,

We need to do a lot more thinking about how the regime is going to evolve, how the bad guys are going to adapt their tactics, and what measures we're going to need in order to go forward.

We're not in a tremendous hurry. We have such depth here that we can keep this regime going for some time while we figure out what the best thing to do is.

We also believe that elements of the Iranian regime may have been involved more directly in planning,

What the Bush administration is primarily interested in is regime change in the United States, not regime change in Iraq or South East Asia or the Balkans. A foreign war is a wonderful lollipop to stuff in the mouth of a possibly quarrelsome press.

What that dossier shows is that the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's regime is not some historic leftover, but is real serious and represents a mounting challenge to the international community,

With Jordan and Turkey the circumstances were unique. We approached them in a way that preserved key alliances and didn't help the regime of Saddam Hussein.

This new regulatory regime for cable could potentially have devastating impacts for our proverbial 500-channel universe of diverse cable offerings. It very well could be the case that government regulation here could destroy that diversity and drive out some of the smaller niche channels out there, which would find a difficult time surviving on their own in a la carte world.

First of all we have to recognize that despite all the problems - and in some cases failures - that this regime has been much more successful, much more resilient, than people had anticipated.

The transition from tyranny to democracy is very hard. The Syrian people have to handle this in a way that works in Syria. And the brutality of the Assad regime is unacceptable.
