Random Quote:

“George W. Bush, October 7, 2002, in Cincinnati, Ohio:

‘In the face of clear evidence of peril from a regime harboring terrorists and weapons of mass destruction we cannot wait for the final proof – the smoking gun – that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.’

Five days earlier, in Chicago, a 41 year-old Illinois state legislator told a group of protestors, ‘I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than the best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Quaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.’

That legislator was Barack Obama.”

- from the June 30, 2008 issue of The New Yorker, page 21.
