“The good Lord didn't see fit to put oil and gas only where there are democratic regimes friendly to the United States.” Quote by Dick Cheney
“When the invasion began, the British public was called upon to 'support' troops sent illegally and undemocratically to kill people with whom we had no quarrel. 'The ultimate test of our professionalism' is how Commander McKendrick describes an unprovoked attack on a nation with no submarines, no navy and no air force, and now with no clean water and no electricity and, in many hospitals, no anaesthetic with which to amputate small limbs shredded by shrapnel. I have seen elsewhere how this is done, with a gag in the patient's mouth.” PeopleDoneForceNationsWaterSupportAirMouthsTestsUltimateCleanPatientIraqBritishUsaHospitalsElsewhereTroopsElectricityLimbsNavyQuarrelsInvasionCommandersProfessionalismAir ForceClean WaterSubmarinesGagsSupport The Troops Author:John Pilger

“The essential facts are known. We know of the weapons in Saddam's possession: chemical, biological, and nuclear in time. We know of his unequaled willingness to use them. We know his history. His invasions of his neighbors. His dreams of achieving hegemonic control over the Arab world. His record of anti-American rage. His willingness to terrorize, to slaughter, to suppress his own people and others. We need not stretch to imagine nightmare scenarios in which Saddam makes common cause with the terrorists who want to kill us Americans and destroy our way of life.” PeopleKnowsWorldWayWantNeedsFactsUseDreamCausesCommonKnownRecordsImagineAchieveEssentialsWeaponsDemocraticIraqPossessionRageNeighborNuclearTerroristNightmareWillingnessChemicalsSaddamInvasionScenariosSlaughterArab WorldAnti-american Author:Joe Lieberman
