“These incident reports are not intended to provide - and do not provide - a comprehensive account of Iraqi casualties, ... trends in casualties resulting from insurgent attacks.”
Barry Venable
“Curveball really provided 98 percent of the assessment as to whether or not the Iraqis had a biological weapon,”
Pat Roberts
“Progress is running far behind Iraqi expectations in virtually every area. In their view, most Iraqis are not seeing 'amazing progress.' All too many of them live in constant danger, with less electricity in many areas than under Saddam Hussein.”
Wayne White
“Yesterday American and British troops handed out food to hundreds of Iraqis. Not surprisingly, the Iraqis handed the British food back.”
Conan O'Brien
“The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the revolution, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow - and they will win.”
Michael Moore
“You may say that the Iraqis are overcompensating for Saddam's deceptive pro-Arab slogans. This does not justify what is happening, but might explain it. Saddam used to give the Arabs privileges in Iraq while depriving the Iraqis of similar privileges. There is a reaction in the street and it should be contained. We cannot turn our backs on our Arab milieu.”
Ahmed Chalabi
“The report is contradictory in certain sections. It says there were irregularities, but then says that (the Iraqi election) commission was not prepared for this kind of a job. ... It calls for the annulment of the disputed seats but does not call for re-election. At the same time, it doesn't quantify the extent of the damage caused by these irregularities.”
