Islam And The West

With peace, light and Jeffersonian democracy fully established in Iraq. The war and subsequent vicious insurgency are just a distant and fading memory in the mind of the main stream media. I thought it would advantageous to take a look back at the top ten most stupid Iraq quotes from recent history:

• “I think they’re in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.” –Vice President Dick Cheney, on the Iraq insurgency, June 20, 2005.
• “My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.” –Vice President Dick Cheney, “Meet the Press,” March 16, 2003.
• “We’ve found the weapons of mass destruction.” –President Bush,”CNN Wolf Blitzer Reports,” May 30, 2003.
• “We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.” –National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, on Iraq’s nuclear capabilities and the Bush administration’s case for war, Sept. 8, 2002.
• “I don’t know anybody that I can think of who has contended that the Iraqis had nuclear weapons.” –Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, June 24, 2003
• “Oh, no, we’re not going to have any casualties.” —President Bush, discussing the Iraq war with Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, after Robertson told him he should prepare the American people for casualties.
• “Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war.” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
• “I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq. Those who want to come and help are welcome. Those who come to interfere and destroy are not.” Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense, press conference in Mosul, Iraq, July 21, 2003.
• “I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome.” —George W. Bush, defending Vice President Dick Cheney’s pre-war assertion that the United States would be welcomed in Iraq as liberators, NBC Nightly News interview, Dec. 12, 2005″
• “I can’t tell you if the use of force in Iraq today will last five days, five weeks or five months, but it won’t last any longer than that,” – Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld quoted by CNN on the impending war on Iraq, November 15, 2002 .

Were it not for the fact that so much blood has been split the quotes above may just have been ironically humorous in a macabre fashion.
