“Baghdad fell on April 9, 2003, Hussein and his regime were brought down, we declared "Mission Accomplished" and celebrated victory . . . and chaos erupted. We did not assert control and authority over the country, especially Baghdad. We did not bring with us the capacity to impose our will. We did not take charge. And Iraq did not in a few weeks magically transform itself into a stable nation with democratic leaders. Instead a raging insurgency engulfed the country.” CountryNationsLeaderWeekVictoryAuthorityCapacityDemocraticChaosIraqMissionsRageAccomplishedRegimesStableHusseinAprilBaghdadInsurgencyMission AccomplishedDemocratic Leaders Author:Colin Powell

“Democrats are channeling their frustration with America's imminent military victory in Afghanistan into hysterical opposition to reasonable national security measures at home.

“I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can't celebrate a lot when you have big victories, and you cannot get too down when you're losing, as in a few days you'll be in the next tournament and you'll have to be ready with that.” BigsNextWinningLostSportsWeekReadyVictoryLosingCalmCelebrateTennisTournaments Author:Rafael Nadal
“We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him. Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart! — it seems to say, — there is victory yet for all justice; and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power.” MenWorldMindHeartSeemsRomanceNextRealizingJusticeWifeWeekGeniusVictorySolitudeGardenTransformationDressesDefeatForgottenDinnerEvery ManPracticalsImpressionRevelationsSanityPassagesNew WorldHouseholdRidiculeNext WeekTrue Romance Book:Essays, lectures and orations Source: Essays, lectures and orations

“It's not often you find yourself writing about a game that you haven't seen one kick of. But it's not often that the favourites lose 5-0 in one of their most important matches of the season. But all things considered - the difference between expectations of success and margin of victory, the fact of Strachan's debut, the injury to Chris Sutton, the joy it will bring Rangers fans, and the potential financial loss of going out of Europe completely in the first week in August - it is hard to remember the last defeat this bad for any team.” WritingFirstsImportantHardFactsLastsRememberJoyGamesLosesDifferencesLossWeekTeamFansHavensFootballVictoryExpectationsEuropeAll ThingsSeasonsDefeatFinancialSoccerAnalysisKicksInjuryFinding YourselfGoing OutMarginsAugustRangersDebutFinancial Loss Author:Phil Cornwell
“Rome wasn't built in a day, and we won't replace fossil fuels with clean energy based on the events of a single week, either. But the important thing to remember is that, once they happen, clean energy victories are irreversible. No one will tear down wind farms because they are nostalgic for fracking in our watersheds. And nobody will pull down their solar panels because they miss having mercury in their tuna or asthma inhalers for their kids. Because once we leave fossil fuels behind, we are never going back.” ImportantHappensKidsRememberEnergyBehindsWeekMissingEventsTearsWindVictoryBuiltImportant ThingsCleanFuelFarmsRomeFossilsFossil FuelNostalgicMercuryClean EnergyIrreversibleAsthmaTunaFrackingSolar PanelsWatershedsWind Farms Author:Michael Brune
