With each further escalation, we come closer to the brink of disaster

[Wilms]

"Not unlike the Vietnam quagmire on which I reported in 1968, we are today presented with the Iraq quagmire. The threat of world communism has been replaced by international terror as a pretext for another misbegotten and mismanaged war, but the falsehoods, broken promises and withering national faith are too familiar."

- Walter Cronkite

Yikes and Wolfiwitz said the Iraqi invasion would pay for itself. Then he got promoted to the World Bank. This is utter absurdity. Brain is exploding .
