“When it comes to the war in Iraq, the time for promises and assurances for waiting and for patience is over. Too many lives have been lost, too many billions of dollars have been spent for us to trust the president on another tired and failed policy that's opposed by generals and experts, Democrats and Republicans, Americans and many of the Iraqis themselves.” GivingHas BeensWarCountryAmericaLostWaitingPresidentEffortStrugglePolicyPromiseRepublicanDemocratIraqTerrorBillionsExpertsAssuranceIraq WarPatience And WaitingRefocus Author:Barack Obama
“It is a key fact about American policy in Vietnam that the withdrawel of American troops was built into it from the start. None of the presidents who waged war in Vietnam contemplated an open-ended campaign; all promised the public that American troops would be able to leave in the not-too-remote future. The promise of withdrawel precluded a policy of occupation of the traditional colonial sort, in which a great power simply imposes its will on a small one indefinitely.” WarFactsWould BeAblePresidentPolicyKeysPromiseBuiltCampaignsTraditionalOccupationVietnamTroopsGreat PowerAmerican Troops Author:Jonathan Schell

“The Democrats have to know in their hearts... I think this is one of the reasons that they're constantly enraged. They have to know that their policies do not work. They do not deliver as promised. They do not create jobs. They do not make people wealthier. They do not grow economies. They do not make sure everybody has health care. Everything they promise, none of it actually happens, and the more of what they implement happens, the worse it gets for everybody. There's a reason they're losing elections.” PeopleThinkingHeartReasonCareEconomyPolicyPromiseLosingElectionDemocratHealth Care Author:Rush Limbaugh
