Iraq Quotes

President Bush bet his presidency-and America’s world leadership-on the war in Iraq. Tragically, it looks as though he bit off more than the American people were willing to chew Picture Quote #1

What you have in Iraq is not just a society coming apart like Yugoslavia or Congo. What is at stake is not just Iraq’s stability but the balance of power in the region Picture Quote #1

As a reporter, I embedded for modest stints with American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. When I’m asked about those experiences, I always say - and mean - that we civilians don’t deserve the soldiers we have Picture Quote #1

Whatever the final outcome in Iraq, our men and women in uniform should stand tall with pride for a job well done. It was our political leaders - of both parties and both presidencies - who failed us Picture Quote #1

I was in Afghanistan and then obviously in Iraq. And I realized that you can’t control life. You can do a lot to prepare. You can train, and at the end of the day there’s an element that’s always going to be beyond your control Picture Quote #1

President Bush said this Iraq situation looks like ‘the rerun of a bad movie.’ Well sure, there’s a Bush in the White House, the economy’s going to hell, we’re going to war over oil. I’ve seen this movie, haven’t I? Picture Quote #1

By the time we, consumers, are aware of processes like genetic engineering, they’re already being done. It’s sort of like the war in Iraq: By the time we know about it, it’s almost a fait accompli. And that’s certainly true with science Picture Quote #1

How can rogue terrorists in Iraq detonate bombs? They’re all too busy flying kites with their children! Hasn’t [Katrina vanden Heuvel (Queen of the May at the fun-loving Nation magazine)] seen Fahrenheit 9/11? Picture Quote #1

Americans would have a right to go to war with the Iraqis if we could name one author from Iraq. It disturbs me that we’re going to war with somebody we know absolutely nothing about. Name one Iraqi poet, one Iraqi woman activist, one Iraqi singer. Name one Iraqi novelist. You can’t. And how can you go kill someone you don’t know anything about? Picture Quote #1

The people who died in the Twin Towers in that terrible crime mattered. The people who were bombed to death in dusty villages in Afghanistan didn’t matter, even though it now seems that their numbers were greater. The people who will die in Iraq don’t matter Picture Quote #1

My dad was working abroad, in Iraq, and he was a doctor. We used to go and visit him, in Baghdad, off and on. For the first ten years of my life, we used to go backwards and forwards to Baghdad, so that was quite amazing. I spent a lot of time traveling around the Middle East Picture Quote #1

I was blessed to go abroad and bring Americans home from jail in Syria, and Iraq, and Cuba, and Yugoslavia, and Liberia, those are high moments of my life Picture Quote #1

The steep decline in America’s image and standing after 9/11 is a direct reflection of global distaste for the instruments of American hard power: the Iraq invasion, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, torture, rendition, Blackwater’s killings of Iraqi civilians Picture Quote #1

We have reached an important milestone and achieved a new momentum in reaching a goal all Americans should embrace - building a secure, peaceful, democratic Iraq that is no longer a threat to the United States or the international community Picture Quote #1

While I disagree with our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, I have nothing but respect and admiration for the men and women deployed in these places Picture Quote #1

As we get closer to the end of this Congress, we should be addressing the urgent needs of the American people - the war in Iraq, affordable health care, a sensible energy policy, quality education for our children, retirement security, and a sound and fair fiscal policy Picture Quote #1

We have a variety of intelligence and we’re sure we’re going to catch Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar this year. We’ve learned lessons from Iraq and we’re getting improved intelligence from the Afghan people Picture Quote #1

I would have voted ‘no’ on the Iraq war and ‘yes’ to Afghanistan Picture Quote #1

Afghanistan and Iraq were lumped together in what was called a ‘global war on terrorism.’ Picture Quote #1

It’s an amazing thing to hear they’re finally giving out a Medal of Honor to a soldier from the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan Picture Quote #1

You could say that bad typography brought us the Afghanistan war, the Iraq war, the housing crisis and a good number of other things Picture Quote #1

Iraq and Afghanistan will, over time, become stable. But the War on Terror will continue long after Iraq and Afghanistan have had success in standing up their own governments Picture Quote #1

My last passport, I had North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Liberia, Guinea... I had, like, every war-torn country in there Picture Quote #1

From the War for Independence to today in Iraq and Afghanistan, I am inspired by the courage, professionalism and patriotism of our men and women in uniform Picture Quote #1

After all the sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq, why do we find ourselves in a more dangerous world? Picture Quote #1

I have never solicited nor received money from Iraq for our campaign against war and sanctions. I have never seen a barrel of oil, never owned one, never bought one, never sold one Picture Quote #1

During a trip to Iraq last fall, I visited our theater hospital at Balad Air Force Base and witnessed these skilled medical professionals in action and met the brave soldiers whose lives they saved Picture Quote #1

Shamu and I have arrived safely in Costa Rica. He was stopped by airport security because he carries enough artillery in his pants pockets to construct a sawed-off shotgun. Evidently, he though we were headed to Iraq Picture Quote #1

The front line with ISIS isn’t just in Iraq and Syria, it’s in Kennedy Airport and the Rio Grande. Border security is national security Picture Quote #1

Al Qaeda is alive and well in Libya, Iraq, Syria and the wars are not receding Picture Quote #1
