And they will tell you unequivocally that if we have a chemical or biological attack or a nuclear attack anywhere in this country, they are unprepared to deal with it today, and that is of high urgency.

What we found out with Katrina is that the country is still unable to deal with disaster, ... God forbid this happens in San Francisco.

The president's very right about one thing: When you have a disaster of that scale, whether it be natural or a terrorist attack, there's only one part of our entire government, state or local, that is equipped to handle it, and that's the U.S. military.

This country is big enough and strong enough to prepare for both.

We have no such weapons at all, no chemical weapons, no biological weapons.

And if you do all you can, that's all you can ever do.
