It was in recognition of a general threat we received. This is not the first time the Justice Department have acted like this. I hope it is the last. But given the attitude of the evildoers, it may not be.~ George W. Bush Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.~ George W. Bush The choice is his [Saddam Hussein's], and if he does not disarm, the United States of America will lead a coalition and disarm him in the name of Peace.~ George W. Bush There are some who feel like that, you know, the conditions are such that they can attack us there [in Iraq]. My answer is, 'Bring 'em on.' ~ George W. Bush There is no telling how many wars it will take to secure freedom in the homeland.~ George W. Bush I don’t give a goddamn. I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way. ... Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!~ George W. Bush We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the September 11th.~ George W. Bush The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today.~ George W. Bush My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military.~ Major General Smedley Darlington Butler War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.~ Major General Smedley Darlington Butler I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.~ Major General Smedley Darlington Butler I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.~ Major General Smedley Darlington Butler He makes a solitude, and calls it - peace.~ Lord Byron Beware of the leader, who strikes the war drum in order to transfer the citizens into patriotic glow, patriotism is indeed a double-sided sword. It makes the blood so boldly, like it constricts the intellect. And if the striking of the war drum reached a fiebrige height and the blood is cooking and hating, and the intellect is dismissed, the leader doesn't need to reject the citizens rights. The citizens, cought by anxiety and blinded through patriotism, will subordinate all their rights to the leader and this even with happy courage. Why do I know that? I know it, because this is, what I did. And I am Gajus Julius Cäsar.~ Gaius Julius Caesar When the swords flash let no idea of love, piety, or even the face of your fathers move you.~ Gaius Julius Caesar The decision to attack the entire nation [of Yugoslavia] has been counterproductive, and our destruction of civilian life has now become senseless and excessively brutal. ... The United States' insistence on the use of cluster bombs, designed to kill or maim humans, is condemned almost universally and brings discredit on our nation (as does our refusal to support a ban on land mines). Even for the world's only superpower, the ends don't always justify the means.~ Jimmy Carter The cry has been that when war is declared, all opposition should therefore be hushed. A sentiment more unworthy of a free country could hardly be propagated. If the doctrine be admitted, rulers have only to declare war and they are screened at once from scrutiny.~ William Ellery Channing It will be necessary for us to be a nation of men, and not laws.~ Dick Cheney In the end it will not matter to us whether we fought with flails or reeds. It will matter to us greatly on what side we fought.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton The Rothschilds can start or prevent wars. Their word could make or break empires.~ Chicago Evening American Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
