Everyone Has an Opinion on the Iraq War
Everyone from presidents to comics has been quoted on Iraq. We've collected 60 of them.
"Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American soldier." --Zell Miller (D) Georgia 2004
We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country. --Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq is a manufactured conflict for the sake of geopolitical dominance in the area." --Actress/radio host Janeane Garofalo
"There's a lot of peer pressure to not do positive stories out of Iraq... I think there's a sense that the administration got a pass during the hot days of war and now that the war is over it's time to even out the deck somewhat." --Jerry Nachman
"Our enemies around the globe gain great advantage by having the United States mired in an Iraqi civil war. Clearly, continuing to pursue the president's flawed escalation policy until at least July 2008 is not in the national interest of the United States." --Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
"Iraq began destroying those missiles they don't have over the weekend. See, President Bush may be the smartest military president in history. First, he gets Iraq to destroy all of their own weapons. Then he declares war." --Jay Leno
"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things." -Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on looting in Iraq after the U.S. invasion, adding "stuff happens," April 11, 2003
"There's no connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq." --Actor George Clooney
