“I want you to keep focused on what you are doing here,” [...] “This war came to us, not the other way around.”

 We are doing everything we can to avoid war in Iraq. But if Saddam Hussein does not disarm peacefully, he will be disarmed by force.
- George W. Bush, Mar. 8, 2003

“I’ve not made up our mind about military action. Hopefully, this can be done peacefully…
- George W. Bush, Mar. 6, 2003

“This is about disarmament and this is a final opportunity for Saddam Hussein to disarm. If he chooses not to do so peacefully, then the United States is prepared to act, with our friends, to do so by force. And we will do so forcefully and swiftly and decisively, as the President has outlined. But the President continues to seek a peaceful resolution. War is a last resort.”
- Scott McClellan, Nov. 12, 2002

“The President has made no decisions about what the next step will be. Clearly, we will continue to talk to the United Nations about the inspection process.”
- Ari Fleischer, Oct 10, 2002

 I think that that presumes there’s some kind of imminent war plan. As I said, I have no timetable.
- George W. Bush, Aug 10, 2002 while golfing

 Fuck Saddam. We re taking him out.
- George W Bush, March 2002

Not until the so-called ‘honor-among-thieves’ compact breaks down.

Sooner or later the ‘worm’ will turn.

It’s just a matter of time before the Cult of ‘Curveball’ drop their pants for a deal.

Abramoff scandal could be the biggest in congressional history. Culture of corruption, stage one.

Funny, the New York Times doesn’t mention it, but Harry Reid, Mary Landrieu, and John Breaux all accepted Abramoff’s largess in exchange for favors on Capitol Hill.

By the way, shouldn’t you be on your way to an Army recruiter’s office somewhere? I’m sure they’re open on weekends in these desperate times. Don’t choke on a turkey bone next Thursday, sparky. Dear Leader needs you now more than ever.

Enjoy yourself Oliver.
