On serving your country:

"I had other priorities in the sixties than military service." - Dick Cheney

"So many minority youths had volunteered…that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like myself." - Tom De Lay

On Saddam, Iraq and the Bush War:

"We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." - Dick Cheney, March 2003

"I don't know anybody that I can think of who has contended that the Iraqis had nuclear weapons." - Donald Rumsfeld, June 2003

"It's hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and to secure the surrender of Saddam’s security forces and his army. Hard to imagine." - Paul Wolfowitz

"Had we to do it over again, we would look at the consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy that should have surrendered or been done in, escaped and lived to fight another day." - George W Bush

"We found the weapons of mass destruction." - George W. Bush, 2003

"Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere!" - George W. Bush, 2004

"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." - Donald Rumsfeld

"I think the burden is on those people who think he didn't have weapons of mass destruction to tell the world where they are." - Ari Fleischer

"The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy, we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on, which was weapons of mass destruction, as the core reason." - Paul Wolfowitz

"Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties." - George W Bush on the Iraq war, to Pat Robertson

"Needless to say, the President is correct. Whatever it was he said." - Donald Rumsfeld


Pretty amusing, or pretty disturbing, take your pick.
