“Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement”

Our message will be that we’re going to make federal government buildings a model – an energy-efficient model – and also start matching grants for cities and counties so that they can also do the same with their government buildings.

Let me tell you, life is interesting regardless of when you are in the fight.

I don’t know how long I’m going to live, but I hope my seeds are pretty good.

I’ve been there for so many crossroads in American history. My whole political life spans the birth of the environmental movement, the women’s movement, the civil rights movement, putting an end to unjust wars, and so and so.

I have to say that after chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isn’t that scary anymore.

Iraq was a war of choice, not necessity.

I think America should amass a strategy for success, and set out the milestones. We need to help the Iraqis get their democracy up and running, we’ve got to help them train their military and police and security people, and we’ve got to start moving out.

If something is opinion, put it in the opinion section: Don’t put it in the facts section.

I’ve faced the grief, I’ve faced the anger, and I’m ready to keep up the fight because America is worth fighting for.

We have the greatest hospitals, doctors, and medical technology in the world – we need to make them accessible to every American.

Medical professionals, not insurance company bureaucrats, should be making health care decisions.

Was this the face that launched a thousand ships, and burnt the topless towers of Ileum?

There is no real direction here, neither lines of power nor cooperation. Decisions are never really made – at best they manage to emerge, from a chaos of peeves, whims, hallucinations and all around assholery.

Destruction after all is a form of creation.

Don’t wreck my reputation, Let me wreck my own.

There is no escape from yesterday because yesterday has deformed us, or been deformed by us. The mood is of no importance. Deformation has taken place.

One whom the infernal gods of Hannibal will cause to be reborn, terror of mankind; never more horror nor worse days in the past than will come to the Romans through Babel.

I have lost the faculty of enjoying their destruction, and I am too idle to destroy for nothing.
