Famous Quotes about War&Peace #30 "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavour to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." Abraham Lincoln Sent by Charles A Beers
Cheney explains why the US didn't go to Baghdad in 1991 I have discovered something which I think is most hilarious or sad, read below, I have confirmed this with ABCNews. This is fact. I am not sure how I want to write this up or maybe just let the interview speak for itself. Gesh a person would figure this guy has had almost 13 years to come up with intelligent and workable answers. What is more astounding is that the American people elected this joker into office. Any thoughts or ideas will be helpful. I do have the entire transcript of the interview. Jim Virga -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. BRINKLEY: One other question- it keeps coming up. Why didn't we go to Baghdad and clean it all up while we were there? Sec. CHENEY: Well, just as it's important, I think, for a president to know when to commit U.S. forces to combat, it's also important to know when not to commit U.S. forces to combat. I think for us to get American military personnel involved in a civil war inside Iraq would literally be a quagmire. Once we got to Baghdad, what would we do? Who would we put in power? What kind of government would we have? Would it be a Sunni government, a Shi'a government, a Kurdish government? Would it be secular, along the lines of the Ba'ath Party? Would be fundamentalist Islamic? I do not think the United States wants to have U.S. military forces accept casualties and accept the responsibility of trying to govern Iraq. I think it makes no sense at all.

To the Kashmiri people, she even appeared harboring a
distinct derision and contempt for traditional Islamic purdah dressing that
is the hallmark of Kashmiri society. GHULAM MUHAMMED, Mumbai –
