Candidate Quotes

I think getting rid of Saddam Hussein is a wonderful thing. But the question is, is it a good idea to send 135,000 troops unilaterally to do it?

Let me—can I just take one second and read something George Bush’s father wrote in his book? This is about the first Gulf War. “To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us, and make a broken tyrant into a latter- day Arab hero. It would have taken us way beyond the imprimatur of the international law bestowed by the resolutions of the Security Council, assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator, and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war.”

Did I expect George Bush to fuck it up as badly as he did? I don’t think anybody did.

Ya Gotta Try This!

While surfing the news this morning, I came across an article on the BBC news site.
It’s about what happens when you type “miserable failure” into the search field on Google.

Give it a try, guess who comes up the most? ;-)
