“The senator from Massachusetts has given us ample grounds to doubt the judgment and the attitude he brings to bear on vital issues of national security.”
-Dick Cheney
“Now, just this weekend, Senator Kerry talked of reducing terrorism to — quote — “nuisance” — end quote — and compared it to prostitution and illegal gambling. See, I couldn’t disagree more. Our goal is not to reduce terror to some acceptable level of nuisance. Our goal is to defeat terror by staying on the offensive, destroying terrorists, and spreading freedom and liberty around the world.”
-George W. Bush
“On September the 14th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It’s a day that is indelibly etched in my memory. I will never forget it. There were workers in hard hats yelling at me at the top of their lungs, “Whatever it takes.” I remember a man grabbing me by the arm, and looked me in the eyes, and he said, “Do not let me down.” Ever since that day, I have awakened, working as hard as I possibly can to protect this country. I will never relent in defending America, whatever it takes.”
-George W. Bush
“It is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.”
– Nazi Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg trials
