Below are some quotes I have assembled which include “New World Order,” or concern

the wars on Iraq made by President George Herbert Walker Bush and his son President George
W. Bush, or relate to the United Nations. Reading these quotes from the two Bush Presidents
and from several others in a chronological order, can help bring into focus a clearer idea of what
is meant by the use of the phrase “new world order.” Please, read and ponder the quotes:

“Time and again in this century, the political map of the world was transformed. And in
each instance a new world order came about through the advent of a new tyrant or the outbreak
of a bloody global war, or its end.” - President George H. W. Bush, February 28, 1990, San
Francisco, California fund raising speech six months before Iraq invaded Kuwait.

“Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective— a new world order— can emerge.... We
are now in sight of a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its founders.”
— President George H. W. Bush, Televised address, September 11, 1990.

“I think that what’s at stake here is the new world order. What’s at stake here is whether
we can have disputes peacefully resolved in the future by a reinvigorated United Nations.”
— President George H. W. Bush, January 7, 1991, interview in U.S. News & World Report
“[The Gulf Crisis] has to do with a new world order. And that new world order is only
going to be enhanced if this newly activated peacekeeping function of the United Nations proves
to be effective.”— President George H. W. Bush, January 9, 1991 Press Conference

“This military action, taken in accord with United Nations resolutions and with the
consent of the United States Congress, follows months of constant and virtually endless
diplomatic activity on the part of the United Nations.....Iraq will eventually comply with all
relevant United Nations resolutions, and then, when peace is restored,...will live as a peaceful and
cooperative member of the family of nations....The United States, together with the United
Nations, exhausted every means at our disposal to bring this crisis to a peaceful end. However,
Saddam clearly felt that by stalling and threatening and defying the United Nations, he would
weaken the forces arrayed against him....Saddam was warned over and over to comply with the
will of the United Nations: leave Kuwait, or be driven out.” — President George Herbert
Walker Bush, January 16, 1991 televised address. (Inside the United Nations - a critical look at
the UN, by Dr. Steve Bonta, pages 53-54.)

“This is an historic moment...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 UN’s founders.” — Pres. George H. W.
Bush, televised address January 16, 1991. (Quoted from the book “The Insiders— Architects
of the New World Order, 1995 edition, page 60.)

“Now, we can see a new world coming into view. A world in which there is the very real
prospect of a new world order....A world where the United Nations, freed from cold war
stalemate, is poised to fulfill the historic vision of its founders. — Pres. George Herbert Walker
Bush, March 6, 1991— televised address to Congress.
“In the Gulf, we saw the United Nations playing the role dreamed of by its founders...I hope
history will record that the Gulf Crisis was the crucible of the new world order.” — President
George H. W. Bush, August 1991 National Security Strategy of the United States, issued by
the White House and signed by George H. W. Bush.

“We created the United Nations Security Council, so that, unlike the League of Nations,
our deliberations would be more than talk, our resolutions would be more than wishes.” —
President George W. Bush, September 12, 2002, televised address before the United Nations
General Assembly as he urged them to back him in a war on Iraq.

“Yet this [Iraqi] aggression was stopped [in 1991] — by the might of coalition forces and
the will of the United Nations.” — President George W. Bush (same Sept. 12, 2002 speech
before the UN.)

“The conduct of the Iraqi regime is a threat to the authority of the United Nations, and a
threat to peace. Iraq has answered a decade of U.N. demands with a decade of defiance.” —
President George W. Bush, (same Sept. 12, 2002 speech to UN).

“Iraq’s dictator accepted a series of commitments. The terms were clear, to him and to all.
And he agreed to prove he is complying with every one of these obligations. He has proven
instead his contempt for the United Nations....” President George W. Bush (same Sept. 12,
2002 speech to the UN)

“The United States helped found the United Nations. We want the United Nations to be
effective, and respectful, and successful. We want the resolutions of the world’s most important
multilateral body to be enforced. And right now those resolutions are being unilaterally subverted
by the Iraqi regime.” — Pres. George W. Bush, Sept. 12, 2002 (same speech to UN).

“My nation will work with the U.N. Security Council to meet our common
challenge....But the purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council
resolutions will be enforced— the just demands of peace and security will be met— or action will
be unavoidable.” — President George W. Bush, (same Sept. 12, 2002 speech before the UN).

“I went to the United Nations a while ago because I want the United Nations to be
effective...” — President George W. Bush, October 31, 2002, South Dakota speech.

“It makes sense for there to be an international body that has got the backbone and the
capacity to help keep the peace. And so here is my message, a message, by the way, resoundingly
supported by members of both political parties in the Senate and the House: The message to the
world is that we want the U.N. to succeed. We want those resolutions you pass to be listened to.
You [the U.N. Security Council] have told Saddam Hussein he must disarm; do your job.” —
President George W. Bush, October 31, 2002, South Dakota Speech. (The New American ,
March 24, 2003 issue.)
“America will be making only one determination: is Iraq meeting the terms of the Security
Council resolution or not?....If Iraq fails to comply, the United States and other nations will
disarm Saddam Hussein.” President George W. Bush, November 8, 2002, The day the U.N.
Security Council Resolution 1441 to disarm Iraq was passed.

“The Iraqi regime has a duty under Security Council resolutions to declare and destroy all
of its weapons of mass destruction. [just as Bloomfield’s study required] That’s what the world
has said. That’s what the United States expects from Saddam Hussein....We can now be certain
that [Saddam] holds the United Nations and the U.N. Security Council and its resolutions in
contempt. He really doesn’t care about the opinion of mankind. Saddam Hussein was given a
path to peace; thus fare, he has chosen the path of defiance.” — President George W. Bush,
January 3, 2003, rally for troops at Fort Hood. (The New American , March 24, 2003 issue)

“The United States will ask the UN Security Council to convene on February the 5th [no
the U.S. Congress] to consider the facts of Iraq’s ongoing defiance of the world. Secretary of
State Powell will present information and intelligence about Iraq’s illegal weapons, programs, its
attempt to hide those weapons from [UN] inspectors, and its links to terrorist groups.” —
President George W. Bush, January 28, 2003, State of the Union Address, televised

“The Iraqi regime’s violations of [U.N.] Security Council resolutions are evident, and they
continue to this hour...On November 8th, by demanding the immediate disarmament of Iraq, the
United Nations Security Council spoke with clarity and authority.... The Security Council must
not back down, when [its] demands are defied and mocked by a dictator....All the world can rise
to this moment...the United Nations can renew its purpose and be a source of stability and
security in the world. The Security Council can affirm that it is able and prepared to meet future
challenges and other dangers.” — President George W. Bush, February 6, 2003. [at least
President Bush wanted to give them deadly “authority”]

“This is a defining moment of the U.N. Security Council. If the Security Council were to
allow a dictator to lie and deceive, the Security Council would be weakened...[T]he U.N. Security
Council has got to make up its mind soon as to whether or not its word means anything.” —
President George W. Bush, February 7, 2003, press conference.

“The administration and this country is holding the UN Security Council and the world to its
demand that Saddam Hussein disarm....And so you’ll see us over the next short period of time,
working with friends and allies and the United Nations to bring that body along. And it’s a
moment of truth for the United Nations. The United Nations gets to decide, shortly, whether or
not it is going to be relevant, in terms of keeping the peace, whether or not its words mean
anything. — President George W. Bush, February 9, 2003, “Congress of Tomorrow”
Republican Retreat Reception, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia

“If Force becomes necessary to disarm Iraq and enforce the will of the United Nations, if
force becomes necessary to secure our country and to keep the peace, America will act
deliberately, America will act decisively, and America will act victoriously with the world’s
greatest military... The United Nations Security Council can now decide whether or not it has the
resolve to enforce its resolutions. I’m optimistic that the U.N. Security Council will rise to its
responsibilities, and this time ensure enforcement of what it told Saddam Hussein he must do.
See, I believe when it’s all said and done, free nations will not allow the United Nations to fade
into history as an ineffective, irrelevant debating society.” — President George W. Bush,
February 13, 2003, Rally for sailors at Jacksonville, Florida’s Mayport Naval Station (The
New American, March 24, 2003 issue).

“We believe...that there is sufficient authority in [UN Security Council Resolutions] 1441,
678, and 687...for whatever military action might be required.” — then Secretary of State Colin
Powell, briefing on Iraq, March 17, 2003

“Let me say something about the UN its a very important organization. That’s why I
went there on September 12, 2002, to give the speech, the speech that called the UN into
account, that said if you’re going to pass resolutions, let’s make sure your words mean
something. Because I understand the wars of the 21st century are going to require incredible
international cooperation. We’re going to have to have to cooperate to cut the money of the
terrorists, and the ability for nations, dictators who have weapons of mass destruction to provide
training and perhaps weapons to terrorist organizations. We need to cooperate, and we are. Our
countries up here are cooperating incredibly well.
And the UN must mean something. Remember Rwanda, or Kosovo. The UN didn’t do
its job. And we hope tomorrow the UN will do its job. If not, all of us need to step back and try
to figure out how to make the UN work better as we head into the 21st century. Perhaps one way
will be, if we can use military force, [emphasis added] in the post-Saddam Iraq the UN will
definitely need to have a role. And that way it can begin to get its legs, legs of responsibility
back.
But it’s important for the U.N. to be able to function well if we’re going to keep the
peace. And I will work hard to see to it that at least from our perspective, that the UN is able to
be able to be a responsibility body, and when it says something, it means it, for the sake of peace
and for the sake of the security, for the capacity to win the war of the first war of the 21st century,
which is the war against terrorism and weapons of mass destruction in the hands of dictators.
Thank you all.” — President George W. Bush, Monday March 17, 2003 press conference,
the Azores while meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

In April 1992, Senator Joe Biden, -- about to become Vice President of these United States—
wrote an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal entitled:
“How I Learned to Love the New World Order.”

So to finish up this quick set of quotes regarding the “new world order,” I’ll quote myself by
asking a question I’ve asked others during the 2008 election year: “Are we in for ‘change’ as
Barack Obama promises us or more of the same Internationalism, interventionism, and cronyism
of the Bush and Clinton years which cronyism features placing members of the Council on
Foreign Relations into power in cabinet posts in yet another administration?” -- Bliss W. Tew,
November 5, 2008
