Text Quotes
The fact of the matter is we went after Iraq for oil. And the fact of the matter is that the United States has degraded our role as a great nation by attacking this nation that had no capacity to attack the United States and no intention of doing so, that didn’t have anything to do with 9/11, didn’t have weapons of mass destruction.  (Iraq Quotes) If one does not wish to take the word of journalists, human rights groups, and the United Nations that Iraq conducted a deliberate campaign to eradicate the Kurdish population, there’s always the word of the Iraqis themselves.  (Iraq Quotes) I’m going to lower the drinking age to eighteen. If you’re old enough to die in Iraq, you’re old enough to drink.  (Iraq Quotes) One big, glaring difference I can think of between Iraq and Vietnam is the news coverage. During the Vietnam War era, you had TV coverage of the war saturating the airwaves every night, and that coverage wasn’t put through a military filter at all.  (Iraq Quotes) The situation in Iraq and the reckless economic policies in the United States speak to one issue for me, and that is the competence of our leader,  (Iraq Quotes) See, that’s why Barack’s running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly - to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health care is available for every American - and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college.  (Iraq Quotes) Women, who enjoyed a high social status and levels of education under Saddam, saw terrible setbacks as Iraq fell into civil war. As a result of the sectarian violence from 2005-2007, women retreated to their homes and fell from public view.  (Iraq Quotes) Iran is undertaking a massive effort to expand its influence in southern Iraq. At the same time, that influence decreases the more the political process in Iraq progresses.  (Iraq Quotes) I can’t say enough about the tremendous work the Missouri National Guard has done as part of our military efforts in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries.  (Iraq Quotes) President Obama decided to prematurely withdraw from Iraq for no other reason than politics. The artificial deadline for withdrawal was not determined for strategic goals but rather for a political one - his reelection timetable.  (Iraq Quotes) At the end of the day we want to bring stability and hope to Iraq. That’s the only way to defeat terrorism.  (Iraq Quotes) I am very optimistic about -- about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government,  (Iraq Quotes) Our opponent and many in Congress criticized our decision to end the Iraq war  (Iraq Quotes) The best power of all is to be free, but Obama is not a free person. He is a prisoner of a military system. He talked about closing Guantanamo and ending the war in Iraq. Now he’s taken on another war. What’s happening?  (Iraq Quotes) People say the war in Iraq is a bad war, and the war in Afghanistan is a good war, but what’s the difference between them? Democratic people around the world cannot accept that this is a good war. This is just endless war.  (Iraq Quotes) No country in history ever sent mothers of toddlers off to fight enemy soldiers until the United States did this in the Iraq war.  (Iraq Quotes) I think Americans understand that in Afghanistan, unlike in Iraq and Vietnam, we are fighting an enemy allied with the people who attacked us on 9/11.  (Iraq Quotes) The United States invaded Iraq to gain control of one of the major sources of the world’s energy.  (Iraq Quotes) Democrats are committed to mapping a new direction in Iraq, and we will work with the President and the new Defense Secretary to ensure that the will of the American people guides our future actions.  (Iraq Quotes) A lot of the great pieces of journalism from Iraq showed how important command influence was in violent, aggressive environments, where Marines and soldiers had a constrained set of choices to make in sudden moments.  (Iraq Quotes) It is a fact that the Left routinely resists, then as now: Americans fought and died in Vietnam for freedom, just as they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan today. Whatever mistakes generals and policymakers have made along the way cannot detract from that essential truth - which should be a part of any reliable history.  (Iraq Quotes) Two European nations emerged with credit from the Iraq disaster: France and Germany. Both had the courage to withstand the Bush administration and oppose the U.S.-led invasion.  (Iraq Quotes) This trend of reporting process over substance is unfortunate, if omnipresent. Even worse is the media’s inability - or unwillingness - to fact-check Republicans who are angry about the Democrats trying to debate and vote on Iraq policy.  (Iraq Quotes) That’s driven by any number of factors, the most prominent of which have been the combat experience of two major campaigns - one in Afghanistan and the other in Iraq - and the ongoing demands of the global war on terrorism.  (Iraq Quotes) The Kurds were the only people in Iraq who were completely unguarded in expressing their gratitude to the United States for setting them free.  (Iraq Quotes) The Washington leadership has put aside non-proliferation programmes and devoted its energies and resources to driving the country to war by extraordinary deceit, then trying to manage the catastrophe it created in Iraq.  (Iraq Quotes) The only time I penetrated Tony Blair’s defenses over Iraq was by keeping eye contact while telling him he never seemed to by sorry  (Iraq Quotes) Why are we working so hard to preserve Iraq, a fake country to begin with? Why do we care whether this fake country that was drawn on the map 100 years ago remains?  (Iraq Quotes) While the war in Iraq was raging, I spent some time in neighbouring Jordan, meeting with Iraqi refugees who fled their country to try to find some place of safety. I interviewed many families about what had happened to them and what they did as a result.  (Iraq Quotes) Iran and Iraq have been at war for five years now. The traditional present for a fifth anniversary is wood. Here’s a gift suggestion: a big stick to beat some goddamned sense into their heads.  (Iraq Quotes)
