“One of the things that we don't want to do is to destroy the infrastructure of Iraq, because in a few days we're going to own that country.”

“Maybe sometimes we don't do the right thing because the wrong thing looks more dangerous, and we don't want to look scared, so we go and do the wrong thing just because it's dangerous. We're more concerned with not looking scared than with judging right.”

“Listen up, Wanda. I know exactly what you don't want to be. But we're human, and we're selfish, and we don't always do the right thing. We aren't going to let you go. Deal with it.”

“Destroying Iraq was the greatest strategic blunder this country has made in its history. Unless we change course, there's every reason to believe the Iraq War will end up changing the United States more than it will ever change Iraq.”

“Someone should say that; why we shouldn’t burn their schools and destroy their buildings and infrastructures instead of burning our own homes.”

“We do not want to go to the right or left, but straight back to our own country!”
