America Quotes
I'd like to offer my plea to the people of America, not the government of America, a plea for my release from captivity and also a plea for a release from captivity of all the people of Iraq who are also suffering the same fate. And that is the occupation of the American troops and the British troops which has brought me to this condition and has brought the Iraqi people to the condition they're in.
-
Authorized Quotes
I do not respond to this so-called court, with all due respect to its people, and I retain my constitutional right as the president of Iraq . Neither do I recognize the body that has designated and authorized you, nor the aggression, because all that has been built on false basis is false.

Becomes Quotes
If Iraq becomes free and stable, we will have a major oil producing country that can help us stabilize the United States oil partnerships. If we were to give Iraq a loan rather than a grant, it would have been perceived by the Iraqis as if we're trying to ease them out of their oil money.

Alone Quotes
I can't see that happening. However spurious Bush's mandate was in 2004 - let alone 2000 - Harper is sitting in a House of Commons where he doesn't have a majority. And if he wants to keep power, he's got to keep in mind the views of Canadians, two-thirds of whom say they don't want to see the same-sex marriage bill reopened. And many of whom oppose any sort of involvement in Iraq and are very suspicious of too much concession to the United States.

Assistance Quotes
France and Russia have oil companies and interests in Iraq. They should be told that if they are of assistance in moving Iraq toward decent government, we'll do the best we can to ensure that the new government and American companies work closely with them. If they throw in their lot with Saddam, it will be difficult to the point of impossible to persuade the new Iraqi government to work with them.

Across Quotes
From such defensive, separated worlds some youngsters have indefensibly stepped across a moral line and taken up their lethal rucksacks, ... The deeper alienations that lead to terrorism may have their roots in these young men's objections to events in Iraq or elsewhere, but the closed communities of some traditional Western Muslims are places in which young men's alienations can easily deepen.

Activists Quotes
From the human rights activists in Syria, we have a picture that the Syrians have put the heat on anybody going to Iraq. They have arrested brothers, relatives going to Iraq to fight. They have arrested anybody coming back. Syria has been trying to crack down on these networks that are moving people through Syria into Iraq.

Against Quotes
From the start, we were building the case against Hussein and looking at how we could take him out and change Iraq into a new country. And, if we did that, it would solve everything. It was about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it -- the president saying, 'Fine. Go find me a way to do this.'
-
Blood Quotes
He doesn't share his decision with others, like his last visit to Turkey, which was wrong because he didn't tell his deputy, the president, the minister of foreign affairs. It was a decision he made by himself without going back to the government. Iraq is in a pool of blood and the prime minister left to visit Turkey, while in such a situation there shouldn't be any official outside the country.

Consequences Quotes

Additional Quotes
I think we will need more troops then we currently have to secure the elections process in Iraq -- that will probably take place in January -- but it is our belief that those troops will be Iraqi troops and there may be additional international troops that arrive to help out, as well as part of the U.N. mission. So I don't see need for more American troops, but we can't discount it.

Admitted Quotes
I think what it shows is that there is a White House that has run out of steam, whether it's ethical issues or Katrina or Iraq or the budget deficit, high gas prices. They are at a real turning point. Thus far, they've admitted no mistakes at all. And That's not a good sign or a good attitude.
-
Both Quotes
I think urban legends, whether true or not, are a pretty sensitive gauge of people's frustrations over things like gasoline prices. The situation in Iraq is frustrating to both pro and anti-war folks, and in some of the other realities of modern life you look for someone to blame, and you start at the top.

Basically Quotes
It is one of the great ironies of the American war in Iraq - was that the guys who really got the most out of it were the Iranians. And they have us to thank for that.
