“President Bush is an intelligent man. He is not going to declare an economic war against Iraq . [...] I admire your extraordinary efforts to rebuild your country. I know you need funds. We understand that, and our opinion is that you should have the opportunity to rebuild your country. But we have no opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts like your border disagreement with Kuwait .” KnowsMenNeedsShouldWarCountryAmericaOpportunityPresidentEffortOpinionEconomicLike YouConflictShould HaveIntelligentExtraordinaryIraqAdmireBordersFundPresident BushDisagreementIntelligent ManKuwait Author:April Glaspie

“I don't reject the concept of preemptive war. I'm a mother of five. I have five grandchildren. And I always say: Think of a lioness. Think of a mother bear. You come anywhere near our cubs, you're dead. And so, in terms of any threat to our country, people have to know we'll be there to preemptively strike. But what the president [Bush] did was, on the basis of no real intelligence for an imminent threat to our country, chose to go into a war for reasons that are still unknown to us.” PeopleThinkingKnowsStillsWarRealCountryReasonMotherPresidentTermFiveBearsConceptsBasesThreatStrikesOur CountryRejectsGrandchildrenPresident BushCubsLionessReal Intelligence Author:Nancy Pelosi
