17. "Modern crusaders"

Now WHERE have I heard that before?

PARIS -
As Europeans wait to see how the United States is planning to retaliate for last week's attacks on Washington and New York, there is growing anxiety here about the tone of American war rhetoric.
President Bush's reference to a "crusade" against terrorism, which passed almost unnoticed by Americans, rang alarm bells in Europe. It raised fears that the terrorist attacks could spark a 'clash of civilizations' between Christians and Muslims, sowing fresh winds of hatred and mistrust.

18. "If you were them would you resign?" Zinni: "Oh, Definately!"

25. Zinni commented on what bothered him most - being told to

shut up and not comment on the problems in Iraq.

Zinni said if we sent troops over with faulty rifles and they're getting killed because of it - there would be no one who would say we shouldn't comment on and fix that problem.

(He asked) How is it any different - when there is a faulty plan/policy in place that is continuing to kill troops?

We should 'stay the course?' Zinni said that course is leading us over Niagara Falls! We need to change course at the very least!
