I felt like I was in war, like I was in a foreign country where they didn't pay attention to you. God-damned big hospitals and there's no bed's there.

The English are not happy unless they are miserable, the Irish are not at peace unless they are at war, and the Scots are not at home unless they are abroad

Winston Churchill could not definitely remember a time when his country had not been at war.

No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country.

What this president has done in conducting a secretive, deceitful, highly costly war which has taken our attention off the very people who represent our greatest threat. They are not living in Iraq. They are living in the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

I don't see how you can lead this country to succeed in Iraq if you say wrong war, wrong time, wrong place.ÊWhat message does that send our troops?ÊWhat message does that send to our allies? What message does that send the Iraqis?
