War today, war tomorrow, war forever!
“Everything you said about [withdrawing some troops from] Iraq yesterday, and everything you will say, is a deception, for the purpose of this one cynical, unacceptable, brutal goal: perpetuating this war indefinitely. War today, war tomorrow, war forever!…A man with any self respect, having inadvertently revealed such an evil secret, would have already resigned and fled the country! You have no remaining credibility about Iraq, sir!…Mr. Bush, our presence in Iraq must end, even if it means your resignation, even if it means your impeachment, even if it means a different Republican to serve out your term, even if it means a Democratic Congress and those true patriots among the Republicans standing up and denying you another penny for Iraq, other than for the safety and safe conduct home of our troops. This country cannot run the risk of what you can still do to this country in the next 500 days.”
- Keith Olbermann , Sept. 4, 2007
Global Warming is more worrisome than War
“[T]o me, the question of the environment is more ominous than that of peace and war. We will have regional conflicts and use or force, but world conflicts I do not believe will happen any longer. But the environment, that is a creeping danger. I’m more worried about global warming than I am of any major military conflict.”
- Hans Blix
Global Warming makes War look like Heaven
“This is an emergency . . . it’ll make world war look like heaven.”
- John Edwards , 2007.
The ‘trick of the bad terrorist’ out to ‘get us’
“The vast majority of Americans are no longer falling for the trick of the bad terrorist who are out there to get us.”
- Rosie O'Donnell , May 17, 2007
Who are the terrorists?
“655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?”
- Rosie O'Donnell , May 17, 2007
America is worse than Terrorists
“How many more years and how many more dead kids? It’s just, you know, it’s way over the amount of people killed on September 11th. We’ve killed more Americans than any terrorist ever did in this war…We were not attacked by either of the nations we invaded. Nineteen [sic] Saudis were on those planes, and we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.”
- Rosie O'Donnell , May 1, 2007.
Media is the watchdog
“If the watchdog doesn’t bark, how do you know there’s a burglar in the basement? And the press is supposed to be a watchdog. I’ll put it another way: if you think that the fire department in your neighborhood is in collusion with the arsonist, you want to know about it. And the fact of the matter is, in the build-up to the [Iraq] war the watchdog didn’t bark and the fire department- in this case the press- was in cahoots with the arsonist.”
- Bill Moyers , April 23, 2007.
I’m not an Arab expert, but…
“To send people off to die for a lie- I swear I never thought I’d see that again in my lifetime. We went through it in Vietnam. To me, it’s the most unconscionable thing you can do. It’s beyond impeachable. If we had just one house of Congress, this man would be impeached…How do you send people into a region, the most powerful superpower in the world, when you have no idea what’s going on there? I’m not an Arab expert. Fine. So read a book! Sit down and learn something!”
- Rob Reiner , November 13, 2005.
Iraq war built on lies
“Everything’s been built on lies. Everything! I mean the entire pretext for war.”
- Meredith Vieira , June 17, 2004.
