“The POWs I expect to be treated humanely, just like we’re treating the prisoners that we have captured humanely. If not, the people who mistreat the prisoners will be treated as war criminals.”
– George W. Bush, as the US was invading Iraq, March 23, 2003
“That’s a violation of the Geneva Convention, those pictures you show, if, in fact, those are our soldiers.”
– Donald Rumsfeld, on Face the Nation, March 23, 2003

Irony Alert Part Deux…
Who made this statement?
"This process [Iraqi reconstruction] has to be internationalized. The UN has to play a governance role. That’s how we’re, in my view, eventually going to win"
…Time’s up. Answer:
GEN. RICHARD MEYERS – CHAIRMAN JCS

Irony part 3
"When patience has begotten false estimates of its motives, when wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality"
"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God"
Evil Al Qaeda terrorist? No…Thomas Jefferson. Must hate freedom.
More from the treasonous Jefferson.
"The advance of liberalism… [encourages] the hope that the human mind will some day get back to the freedom it enjoyed two thousand years ago."
When did Myers make that comment, Jaime?
I got the quote from a Maureen Down column.
still another Irony…
"fellow" Democrat Senator Zell Miller called John Kerry’s hometown Taxacheussetts. I assume Mr. Miller is completely unaware that his home state of Georgia has a much higher personal tax burden, business tax and welfare burden than Taxacheussetts.
