"My colleagues, every statement I make today
is backed up by sources, solid sources.
These are not assertions.
What we're giving you are facts and conclusions
based on solid intelligence."
—U.S. Sec. of State Colin Powell
at the U.N. Security Council, Feb. 5, 2003.
Item in CBS News

"You go to war with the Army you have,
not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time."
—Donald Rumsfeld, when asked by a U.S. soldier
why the troops aren't being properly equipped,
as promised by their Commander-in-Chief
during his 2004 election campaign.
