Andrea Peyser of the New York Post said that.

Oh yeah....thanks! Shame on her, NOT! :-)

The one I can't remember the author of goes something like: The only person who's going to be interviewing Osama is John Edward.

I don't remember that one. Was it Sen. John Edwards? I don't get it, was it supposed to be a joke?

"You dont will a war by dying for your country, you win a war by having the other poor bastard die for his"

here is my favorite from today....I wish I could find the video of this one

Q: Mr. Secretary, about the atrocities, there's a growing concern about the Northern Alliance as they move into these cities, as they take over the cities. Yes, there is a hospitable atmosphere for them, but there are reports coming out of Afghanistan that they are committing atrocities and that they are killing people, telling the Arabs who are there that you can surrender and be killed. I mean, that's --

Rumsfeld: Come on, now! (you can just imagine him saying this)

Q: Well, that's the reports.

Rumsfeld: It is -- there's reports on anything you want to find and repeat. The fact of the matter is that it is perfectly proper for the Northern Alliance and anyone else, including American soldiers, to tell people either to surrender or be killed. If you're in conflict, that is what you do. And if they refuse to surrender, as they're refusing to do in Kunduz right now, there's going to be fierce battles, and a lot of people are going to be killed.

It was a joke. John Edward is a TV phsycic. He has a TV show called "crossing over". He claims to talk to dead relatives of people in his audience. The show takes place over hours, then by the magic of creative editing he is able to produce a show that makes it look like he can talk to the dead.

George Patton, by the way.

Another good quote from WWII:

"NUTS"

(Battle of the bulge)

[Sooner Gal]

Reporter: What about the --for the public who -- you know, beyond the criticism from human rights organizations for using the cluster bombs, they're calling for a halt -- could you explain the tactical rationale for using them?

Rumsfeld: They are being used on front-line Al Qaeda and Taliban troops to try to kill them, is why we're using them, to be perfectly blunt.

Oooooooooh! Now it makes sense. Thanks!
