Wirthlin Worldwide poll: President Bush’s job approval at 78 percent. . . . Bush on whether Osama bin Laden is alive, on Britain’s ITV: “I have no idea. But I’ll tell you this: He’s not making a lot of noise these days. And maybe he’s dug in one of those holes. But there’s not a hole deep enough. They’re going to get him if he’s still alive.” . . . On war against terrorism: “I know there’s a certain kind of anxiety amongst people in the press, for example, who want this thing over with tomorrow. But that’s not the nature of this war. This is a different kind of war. This is a war that requires incredible patience and resolve. And make no mistake about it: I’ve got the patience and the resolve necessary to win, and so does my country.” . . . On Iraq’s Saddam Hussein: “I made up my mind that Saddam needs to go. . . . The policy of my government is that he goes.”
Bush endorses cloning ban: “Human cloning is deeply troubling to me, and to most Americans. Life is a creation, not a commodity. Our children are gifts to be loved and protected, not products to be designed and manufactured. Allowing cloning would be taking a significant step toward a society in which human beings are grown for spare body parts, and children are engineered to custom specifications; and that’s not acceptable.”
