Quotable quotes
‘This is not a war on terror. It's a
fight against America's enemies’
- Robert Fisk, The Independent
‘Far from being the terrorists of the world, the Islamic peoples have
been its victims - that is, the victims of American fundamentalism, whose
power, in all its forms, military, strategic and economic, is the greatest
source of terrorism on earth.’ (John Pilger, The Irish Times) ‘The
crime was never ‘an assault on democracy’. If Western democracy cannot
withstand a suicide bomb attack on an office block, it is pathetic indeed.
The crime was directed not against democracy but against Western policies
in the Middle East.’
- Simon Jenkins, The Times, London)
‘If they turn on the radars we're going to blow up their goddamn SAMs
(surface-to-air missiles). They know we own their country. We own their
airspace... We dictate the way they live and talk. And that's what's great
about America right now. It's a good thing, especially when there's a lot
of oil out there we need.’
- US Brig. General William Looney, Washington Post
‘That is, the crazy Hitler speaking his heart out in front of the people
who claim to be the custodians of democracy without anybody feeling
ashamed of what the Looney Brigadiers are saying!) ‘The greatest crime
since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy.’
- Ramsey Clark, Former U.S. Attorney General
‘Death squads have been created and used by the CIA around the world -
particularly the Third World - since the late 1940s, a fact ignored by the
elite-owned media.’
- Ralph McGehee, Former CIA analyst
‘I will never apologize for the United States of America - I don't care
what the facts are.’
- US President George Bush
‘The U.S.A. has supplied arms, security equipment and training to
governments and armed groups that have committed torture, political
killings and other human rights abuses in countries around the world.’ -
Amnesty International
‘Playing the world's policeman is not the answer to that catastrophe in
New York. Playing the world's policeman is what led to it.’ - Matthew
Parris, The Times
‘We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's
more children than died in Hiroshima. And - and you know, is the price
worth it?’
- CBS reporter Lesley Stahl (speaking of post-war sanctions against Iraq)
‘I think this is a very hard choice, but the price - we think the price
is worth it.’
- Madeleine Albright (the then US Ambassador to the UN)
‘We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of
altruism and world-benefaction.... We should cease to talk about vague and
unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living
standards,and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to
have todeal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by
idealistic slogans, the better.’
- George Keenan, head of U.S. State Department Policy Planning Staff,
1948) q |
