“The most dangerous thing Iraq could have ever had was a nuclear weapon. The nuclear weapon Iraq was trying to build was not deliverable by bomb or ballistic missile. It was a large, bulky device that they hoped to bury and set off to let the world know they had a nuclear weapon. They never achieved that.” KnowsWorldTryingDangerousWeaponsIraqNuclearBombsDevicesNuclear WeaponsMissilesDangerous Things Author:Scott Ritter

“Suddenly that it was as dangerous to be in America as it was to be overseas. So that the false distinction that's made by the anti-war movement between being over there and over here was exposed for all to see as an illusion. Although a number of people, a large amount of people still share in it. In other words, when I've been in Iraq or Afghanistan, I've probably been safer because I can carry a weapon if I have to, than my wife and daughter are living in Washington.” PeopleIfsMadeStillsI CanWarAmericaNumbersWifeShareDangerousMovementAmountWeaponsIllusionDaughterIraqMy WifeDistinctionAfghanistanExposedAnti WarBecause I CanAnti War MovementWife And Daughter Author:Christopher Hitchens

“The problem is that Iran has been identified as a dangerous enemy, and the longer the media forwards that proposition - and the media is guilty, just as it was in the Iraq war - then the easier it becomes for Americans to accept that we might just have to resort to military force to remove any Iranian threat.” Has BeensWarProblemMightForceAcceptingEnemyMediaMilitaryDangerousEasierThreatIraqGuiltyRemoveIranPropositionsResortsIraq WarIranianMilitary Force Author:Hooman Majd
“Being an American journalist can put people on the defensive. In countries where people assume the press is partisan, like in Lebanon, or where it had essentially become an extension of the government, like in Iraq, people tend to see a journalist as an agent of his or her government. That can be dangerous if the United States military is occupying their country, or aligned with their enemies.” PeopleIfsCountryStatesGovernmentUnitedEnemyUnited StatesMilitaryDangerousPressesAssumingIraqAgentsJournalistExtensionsPartisansLebanonUnited States Military Author:Annia Ciezadlo
“We have a strong military deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan. In countries like Syria, we need a diplomatic breakthrough to end the war. In Libya, the country must first of all be stabilized to stop IS. This means supporting the Libyan government, including in terms of security.
