“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.

Kurt Vonnegut

Jay Leno

“Some Democrats say the estimated $60 billion dollar cost of a war with Iraq could be better spent at home. When he heard that, President Bush agreed and announced plans to bomb Ohio.”
“I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today will last five days, five weeks or five months, but it won't last any longer than that.”
