“Hasta ahora, el mundo ha sido conocido como un mundo dividido –un mundo de alambres de púas y bloques de acero, conflictos y guerra fría. Ahora, podemos ver un mundo nuevo a la vista. Un mundo en el cual existe la posibilidad muy real de un Nuevo Orden Mundial. En los mundos de Winston Churchill, un “Nuevo orden”, en el cual “Los principios de justicia y juego limpio… protección al débil contra el fuerte…” Un mundo donde las Naciones unidas, Libre de estancamiento guerra fría, está a punto de cumplir la visión histórica de sus fundadores. In mundo en el cual la libertad y el respeto por los derechos humanos encuentren un hogar entre todas las naciones.”

“Y yo soy el que no subirá los impuestos. Mi oponente dice que los subirá como último recurso, o como tercer recurso. Pero cuando un político habla así, sabes que es un recurso que estudiará. Mi oponente no descartará subir los impuestos. Pero yo lo haré. Y el Congreso me empujará a subir los impuestos y yo diré que no. Y me empujará de nuevo, y les diré: “Lean mis labios: Impuestos nuevos no”.”

George H. W. Bush

Escrito por Peggy Noonan (Jack Kemp sugirió la idea básica) y leído por Bush durante su discurso de aceptación de la candidatura a la presidencia por el Partido Republicano el 18 de agosto de 1988. Incumplió la promesa en un acuerdo presupuestario con los demócratas en 1990. En 1992, los republicanos y la campaña de Clinton criticaron a Bush por ello.
Original: «And I'm the one who will not raise taxes. My opponent now says he'll raise them as a last resort, or a third resort. But when a politician talks like that, you know that's one resort he'll be checking into. My opponent won't rule out raising taxes. But I will. And the Congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say no. And they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again, and I'll say, to them, "Read my lips: no new taxes».

“No hay mapas que nos guíen a donde vamos: a este nuevo mundo de nuestra propia hechura. Mientras el mundo mira atrás a nueve décadas de guerra, contiendas y sospechas, miremos al futuro también: a un nuevo siglo y a un nuevo milenio de paz, libertad y prosperidad.”

George H. W. Bush

Esta traducción está esperando su revisión. ¿Es correcto?

“Sin embargo, la libertad no es lo mismo que la independencia. Los estadounidenses no apoyarán a quienes buscan la independencia para reemplazar una tiranía lejana con un despotismo local. No ayudarán a quienes promueven un nacionalismo suicida basado en el odio étnico.”

Frases de mundo de George H. W. Bush

“Por primera vez desde la II Guerra Mundial la comunidad internacional está unida.

George H. W. Bush

Comment on a "new world order" (29 January 1991), as quoted in The Watchtower magazine, In Search of a New World Order (15 July 1991)

“This is an historic moment. We have in this past year made great progress in ending the long era of conflict and cold war. We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U. N.'s founders. We have no argument with the people of Iraq. Indeed, for the innocents caught in this conflict, I pray for their safety.”

Remarks to reporters (5 August 1990)

“Trying to eliminate Saddam, extending the ground war into an occupation of Iraq, would have violated our guideline about not changing objectives in midstream, engaging in "mission creep", and would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible. We had been unable to find Noriega in Panama, which we knew intimately. We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U. N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U. S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different — and perhaps barren — outcome.”

A World Transformed (1998) by George H.W. Bush and Brent Scowcroft; also as an excerpt http://www.thememoryhole.org/mil/bushsr-iraq.htm in Time Magazine in 1998.

“It means, it means, teaching troubled children through your present that there’s no such, that there's such a thing as reliable love. Some would say it's soft and insufficiently tough to care about these things. But where is it written that we must act as if we do not care, as if we are not moved? Well I am moved. I want a kinder, and gentler nation.”

Address to the Knights of Columbus (5 August 1992)

“Now I know, I know that every uh speaker comes before you and says they identify with Columbus but I really mean it. Think about it; the guy was faced with questions at home about whether his global efforts were worth a darn. Some critics want him to cut his voice short… he even faced the threat of mutiny (laughs) and yet Columbus persevered and won. Not a bad analogy in my (laughs) view so I know this isn't political. Now I admit Columbus also had to worry all about at that time about a lack of wind. I… I don't have that problem with Congress.”

“America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms.
