“Members of the conference recognize that the situation in Iraq has not become a more secure or stable place over the past three years.”
Prince Hassan
“Vietnam was an exercise in mistaken idealism; Iraq in cynical money-making. And there's no optimism or idealism now -- Americans are tired of knowledge. Our leaders, the C-students from Yale, know this. We're proud of being ignorant; that leaves virtue at our core. We aren't frazzled by knowledge like foreigners, so we can be trusted.”
Kurt Vonnegut
“We are ready to sacrifice our souls, our children and our families so as not to give up Iraq. We say this so no one will think that America is capable of breaking the will of the Iraqis with its weapons.”
Saddam Hussein
“President Bush agreed today to allow more weapons inspectors in Iraq. As I understand he has 250,000 of them ready to go.”
Jay Leno
“Twenty-one years ago today Saddam Hussein was first elected president of Iraq and he has been re-elected ever since. Apparently they have the same electoral process we do, you don't need the popular vote to win.”
“And now the really difficult part: We have to rebuild Iraq into a strong and independent nation that will one day hate the United States.”
David Letterman
“You know we armed Iraq. I wondered about that too, you know during the Persian Gulf war those intelligence reports would come out: "Iraq: incredible weapons - incredible weapons." How do you know that? "Uh, well...we looked at the receipts."”
Bill Hicks
