"There are some who feel like that the conditions
are such that they can attack us there. My answer is bring them on!" G.W. Bush
"The streets in Basra and Baghdad are sure to erupt in joy in the same way the
throngs in Kabul greeted the Americans."
R. Cheney
"Already, the [David] Kay Report identified dozens of weapons of mass destruction- related program
activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the United Nations."
G.W. Bush
"Principle is OK up to a certain point, but principle doesn't do any good if you lose."
R. Cheney
"It's a slam dunk."
G. Tenet "Take that to the bank." D. Rumsfeld
"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has
weapons of mass destruction." R. Cheney
"... no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most
lethal weapons ever devised." G.W. Bush
"We know where they [WMDs] are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south,
and north somewhat." D. Rumsfeld "Yes, we found a biological laboratory in Iraq which the UN prohibited."
G.W. Bush
"Oh, and yes, I have to say: stash away
the duct tape. Don't use it, stash it away."
T. Ridge
"See, we've been there for, what — I mean, how many days? Frankly,
it wasn't all that long ago that we started military operations. And we -got rid of him, much faster than a lot of
people thought."
G.W. Bush
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who
are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have
tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say, 'you helped this happen.'"
J. Falwell
"We have sinned against Almighty God, at the highest level of our government, we've stuck our finger
in your eye. The SupremeCourt has insulted you over and over again, Lord."
P. Robertson "God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little
innocent babies, we make God mad."
J. Falwell
"If you want to see the sacrifice,
John McCain ought to visit our young men and women at Walter Reed and Bethesda. There's the sacrifice in this
country." D. Hastert
"Maybe the people who executed
this [Abu Ghraid tortures] pulled off
a brilliant maneuver. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got physically injured. But boy there was a lot of humiliation
of people who are trying to kill us-- in ways they hold dear."
R. Limbaugh
"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation, and we're going
to ruin people's lives over it, and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer
them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I'm talking about people having
a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You [ever] heard of need to blow some steam off?"
R. Limbaugh
"In
the long run, the right answer to unemployment is to create more jobs." G.W. Bush
"If
the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and
I will not trust the Bush administration again." B. O'Reilly
"If Bush lied --if he lied --I'll be the first one to hang him, OK?"
B. O'Reilly

bozos ." G.H.W. Bush

need to know."

Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators."
R. Cheney
****(* "Your magazine [Southern
Partisan] also help set the record straight. You've got a heritage of doing that, of defending Southern patrios
like [Gen. Robert E.] Lee, [Gen. Stonewall] Jackson and [Confederate president Jefferson] Davis. Traditionalists must
do more." J. Ashcroft
"Indeed, the facts and Iraq's behavior show that Saddam Hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts
to produce more weapons of mass destruction. " C. Powell
"the strongest evidence to date that Iraq was hiding a biological-warfare
program,"
CIA report
"I cannot see how
Hans Blix can state more than he can know. All he can know is the results of his own investigations. And that does
not prove Saddam does not have weapons of mass destruction." R.Perle
"As we know, / There are known knowns. / There are things we know we know. / We
also know / There are known unknowns. / That is to say / We know there are some things / We do not know. / But there are
also unknown unknowns, / The ones we don't know / We don't know."
D. Rumsfeld
"I think in this case international law stood in the way of doing the right thing."
R . Perle "international law ... would have required us to leave Saddam Hussein alone." R. Perle
"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air
and water that are doing it." Dan Quayle
"You know why I call him Ozone Man? This guy is so far out
in the environmental extreme, we'll be up to our neck in owls and outta work for every American. He is way out, far
out, man."
G.H.W. Bush
"I'm not concerned about weapons of mass destruction. I'm concerned about getting Iraq on its feet. I didn't come (to Iraq) on a search for weapons of mass destruction."
P. Wolfowitz
"I think there is one universal law, and that's terrorism is evil, and all of us must work to reject
evil. Murder is evil, and we must reject murder."
G. W. Bush
"I think the real issue is the danger that these chemical or biological or radiological, or even nuclear weapons could
fall into the hands of terrorists. And I think they are weapons of mass terror. That is what concerns us, that
we are trying in every way we know how to deal with the Iraqi issue peacefully. "
P. Wolfowitz
"For 18 months now, we have had underway a secret diplomatic initiative to Iran.
That initiative was undertaken for the simplest and best of reasons: To renew a relationship with the nation
of Iran; to bring an honorable end to the bloody six year war between Iran and Iraq; to eliminate state-sponsored terrorism
and subversion, and to effect the safe return of all hostages." R. Reagan
"Honestly,
I think we should just trust our president in every decision he makes and should just support that, you know, and be
faithful in what happens."
B. Spears
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that
we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to
the American public!"
T. Roosevelt
"But assuming the press reports are right, [Bill Maher's comment] it's a terrible thing to say, and it unfortunate. And that's why-- there was an
earlier question about has the President said anything to people in his own party-- they're reminders to all Americans
that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do. This is not a time for remarks like that; there never
is."
Ari Fleischer
"The emperor (George W. Bush) has no clothes,
when are people going to face the reality? Pull this curtain back." N. Pelosi
“‘Iraq did have contacts with Al Qaeda, We don't know how clear they were.’” P. Wolfowitz
"Why is
Iraq still trying to procure uranium and the special equipment needed to transform it into material for nuclear weapons?"
C. Powell
"(Nazi soldiers) were victims, just as sure as the victims in the concentration camps."
R. Reagan
"His regime has the design for a nuclear weapon; it was working
on several different methods of enriching uranium, and recently was discovered seeking significant quantities of uranium
from Africa."
D. Rumsfeld
"So he, on December 8th, has to indicate whether or not he
has weapons. Let's see what he says. If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein
is once again misleading the world." A. Fleischer
"The president of the United States and the secretary of defense
would not assert as plainly and bluntly as they have that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction if it was not true,
and if they did not have a solid basis for saying it." A. Fleischer
"You teach a child to read and he or her will be able to pass a literacy
test. I don't buy teaching the test as an excuse to have a system that doesn't hold people accountable for results.
"
G. W. Bush
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard
and VX nerve agent." (mustard?!) G.W.Bush
"We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make
more."
C. Powell
"Get him outta office, I'm tellin' you, man, he's
in dangerous territory [with] a religious agenda and you gotta vote him out-- anyone but Bush."
H. Stern
"You can tell a lot about a fellow's character
by his way of eating jellybeans."
R. Reagan
"There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction.
As this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them
and who guard them." T. Franks
"U.S. officials never
expected that 'we were going to open garages and find' weapons of mass destruction." C. Rice
"Now, if the speed and the way that plan was executed surprised them, it may very well be that they didn't have time to blow the dams or use chemical weapons.
It is also possible that they decided that they would destroy them prior to a conflict. And I don't know the
answer, and I suspect we'll find out a lot more information as we go along and keep interrogating people."
D. Rumsfeld
”The truth is that for reasons that have
a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on which was
weapons of mass destruction as the core reason, but there have always been three fundamental concerns. One is weapons
of mass destruction, the second is support for terrorism, the third is the criminal treatment of the Iraqi people.
Actually I guess you could say there's a fourth overriding one which is the connection between the first two.” P. Wolfowitz
"But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing
devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them."
G. W. Bush
"Facts
are stupid things."
R. Reagan
"Solutions are not the answer."
R. Nixon
“The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear
weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his ‘nuclear
mujahadeen’-- his nuclear holy warriors. Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at
sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. G.W. Bush
"Iraq has attemted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes
and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nucular weapons." G. W. Bush
"Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof-- the smoking
gun-- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud. As President Kennedy said in October of 1962, 'Neither the
United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats
on the part of any nation, large or small. We no longer live in a world where only the actual firing of weapons
represents a sufficient challenge to a nation's security to constitue maximum peril.”
G.W. Bush
"If it takes a bloodbath, let's get it
over with." R. Reagan
“I don't know anybody that I can
think of who has contended that the Iraqis had nuclear weapons… I don't know anybody in any government or any
intelligence agency who suggested that the Iraqis had nuclear weapons. That's fact number one.”
D. Rumsfeld
"This nation acted to a threat from the dictator
of Iraq. Now there are some who would like to rewrite history; revisionist historians is what I like to call them." G.W. Bush
"This whole thing about not kicking someone when they are down is BS
-- Not only do you kick him -- you kick him until he passes out -- then beat him over the head with a baseball bat
-- then roll him up in an old rug -- and throw him off a cliff into the pound[ing] surf below!!!!!" T. DeLay office email " I don't believe there is a separation of church and state. I think
the Constitution is very clear. The only separation is that there will not be a government church." T. DeLay
"George W. is really saying the same things
we are, only we are saying them differently."
T. DeLay
"My mission is to bring us back to the Constitution and
to Absolute Truth that has been manipulated and destroyed by a liberal worldview." T. DeLay
"Fascism was really the basis for the New Deal."
R. Reagan
"Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do." R. Reagan
"[The Contras are] the moral equivalent of our
Founding Fathers." R. Reagan
"I hope I'm finally going to hear some of the things I'm still waiting to learn."
R. Reagan
"Like millions of Americans, my family and I gathered around the television for a
celebration. Instead, that celebration was tainted by a classless, crass and deplorable stunt. Our nation's
children, parents and citizens deserve better."
M. Powell
[Janet Jackson's Super Bowl performance] wasn't even the most offensive part. It was the
finale of something that was offensive. The whole performance was onstage copulation. This really crossed a heinous line."
M.Powell

Part II:
"The Califoria crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants
and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants."
G. W. Bush
"Except for the occasional heart attack, I never felt better."
D. Cheney
"I am advising the former president, the governor of Florida and the president of the United States. I guess you
could say I rule the world."
B. Bush
"The first time I met Bush 43 (George W.
is the 43rd president, his father was No. 41), I knew he was different. Two things became clear. One, he didn't know
very much. The other was he had the confidence to ask questions that revealed he didn't know very much. Most people are
reluctant to say when they don't know something — a word or a term they haven't heard before. Not him."
R. Perle
"An American-led overthrow of Saddam Hussein--and a replacement of the radical Baathist dictatorship
with a new government more closely aligned with the United States--would put America more wholly in charge of the region
than any power since the Ottomans, or maybe the Romans."
D. Frum
"Our
nation is still somewhat sad, but we're angry. There's a certain level of blood lust, but we won't let it drive
our reaction. We're steady, clear-eyed and patient, but pretty soon we'll have to start displaying scalps."
G.W. Bush
"All told, more than
3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries. Many others have met a different fate. Let's put
it this way -- they are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies."
G.W. Bush
"These guys [Republicans] are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen."
J. Kerry
"I hope one day I can clone another Dick Cheney. Then I won't have to do anything."
G. W. Bush
"He [Bush 41] went
in to Panama to get Noriega because he was the big coke dealer, that must have went over well with junior [Bush 43].
'Thanks dad'"
B. Maher
"It's time to restore honor and dignity to the White House."
G. W. Bush
"We do know,
of certain knowledge, that (Bin Laden) is either in Afghanistan or in some other country or dead."
D. Rumsfeld
"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a
little longer." H. Kissinger
"Read My Lips: No New
Taxes."
G.H.W. Bush
"My senior year, I joined Skull & Bones, a secret society, so secret, I can't say anything more."
G. W. Bush
"The fundamental question is, did Saddam Hussein
have a weapons program? And the answer is, absolutely. And we gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he
wouldn't let them in. And, therefore, after a reasonable request, we decided to remove him from power..."
G. W. Bush
"He tried to make a pleasant evening of it, but I was rather sick of heart, and angry too, for it was the Kennedy's
that brought about the fiasco. And here they were making Allen to be the goat, which he wasn't and did not deserve.
I have never forgiven them." P. Bush
"I'm
not into this detail stuff. I'm more concepty." D. Rumsfeld
"We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a State noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an
hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater
our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.." J. F. Kennedy
"In fact, I was puzzled when he [Nixon] told me, 'Tell Ehrlichman this whole group of Cubans [Watergate burglars] is
tied to the Bay of Pigs.'
H. Haldeman
"It seems that in all of those Nixon references to the Bay
of Pigs, he was actually referring to the Kennedy assassination."
H. Haldeman
"Mr. George Bush of the CIA had been briefed on November 23rd, 1963 about the reaction of anti-Castro Cuban exiles
in Miami to the assassination of President Kennedy."
J.E. Hoover
"From baseball I developed a thick skin against criticism. I learned
to overlook minor setbacks and focus on the long haul." G. W. Bush
"There’s three things to remember: claim everything, explain nothing, deny everything."
Senator P. Bush
"So many minority youths had volunteered for the well-paying military positions to escape poverty and the
ghetto that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like me in Vietnam."
T. Delay
"And it was the greatest hoax that has ever been perpetuated.
"And I respectfully suggest, can we pin this on one of theirs?" '
R. Nixon on Warren Report
"Bear in mind that brains and learning, like muscle and physical skill, are articles of commerce.
They are bought and sold. You can hire them by the year or by the hour. The only thing in the world not for sale is
character." Antonin Scalia
"He [Nixon] was a conspiracy buff. He liked intrigue, and he liked secret maneuverings of the FBI, and
he liked to hear about what the CIA did, and so on. He just couldn't leave that stuff alone."
J. Ehrlichman
"Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson knew about the whole damn thing [JFK assassination]."
S. Giancana
"It is my sworn testimony that one Jack Rubenstein of Chicago ... is performing information functions
for the staff of Congressman Richard Nixon, Republican of California. It is requested Rubenstein not be called for
open testimony in the aforementioned hearings." R. Nixon statement 1947
"[He is] "a special Washington phenomenon: the skilled full-time
politician-bureaucrat in whom ambition, ability, and substance fuse seamlessly."
Kissinger on Rumsfeld
"I think Rumsfeld may be not too long for this world. Let's dump him."
R. Nixon
"There is no question but that they would be welcomed. Go
back to Afghanistan, the people were in the streets playing music, cheering, flying kites, and doing all the things
that the Taliban and the al-Qaeda would not let them do."
D. Rumsfeld
"[The U.S. statement on chemical weapons] was made strictly out of our strong opposition
to the use of lethal and incapacitating CW, wherever it occurs."
G. Schultz memo to Rumsfeld 1984
“In our investigation, we have not uncovered a single piece of paper, either here
in the United States, or in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and elsewhere that
mentioned any aspect of the September 11th plot.”
R. Mueller "There's another way to phrase that and that is that
the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. It is basically saying the same thing in a different way.
Simply because you do not have evidence that something does exist does not mean that you have evidence that it doesn't
exist." D. Rumsfeld
"Preventing the recount from being completed will inevitably cast a cloud on the legitimacy
of the election. The Florida court's ruling reflects the basic principle, inherent in our Constitution and our
democracy, that every legal vote should be counted."
J. P. Stevens
"He [Jim Wright]'s a heavy-handed son of a bitch and he doesn't know any other way to
operate, and he will do anything he can to win at any price. There is no sense of comity left."
D. Cheney
"It suffices to say that the issuance of the stay suggests that a majority of the Court, while not deciding the issues
presented, believe that the petitioner has a substantial probability of success."
A. Scalia
