Quotations

"Why does he [the president] want to drop bombs on innocent Iraqis?" (Jan. 6, 2003 White House briefing)

"In 2003, the U.S.-Iraqi war, claiming it had weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Qaida terrorist networks—all lies. The individual invasion has been going on for eight years at a horrendous cost. Thousands of Americans and Iraqis were killed." (World of Progress, April 1, 2011; photo Wikipedia)
