Now: "Our struggle is not with the Iranian people. As a matter of fact, we want them to flourish."

Then: "Iraq is land rich in culture and resources and talent."

Now: "And the Iranian people are proud people, and they've got a great history and a great tradition."

Then: "If we fail to act in the face of danger, the people of Iraq will continue to live in brutal submission. The regime will remain unstable. The region will remain unstable, with little hope of freedom and isolated from the progress of our times."

Now: "One of the things that the Iranian government is doing is they've begun to isolate their nation, to the harm of the Iranian people."

Then: "Hopefully this can be done peacefully."

Now: "I believe we can solve our problems peacefully."

Then: "All options are on the table."

Now: "All options are on the table."
