5. This thing just made me tear up. Twice. Another couple of good ones:
Edited on Sun Apr-17-05 04:54 AM by Hissyspit
"I heard the director of a hospital in Baghdad say: "The whole hospital is an emergency room. The nature of the injuries is so severe-one body without a head, someone else with their abdomen ripped open." I heard him say: "Human beings are so frail in the face of these weapons of war."

I heard an American soldier say: "There's a picture of the World Trade Center hanging up by my bed and I keep one in my Kevlar . Every time I feel sorry for these people I look at that. I think, 'They hit us at home and now it's our turn.'"

I don't see anything like: I heard officials say the occupation would cost $6 billion at he most, or that the oil production would pay for the reconstruction of Iraq.

I may be missing it though.

How 'bout this one: "I heard the President, "bristling with irritation," say: "This business about time, how much time do we need to see clearly that he's not disarming? He is delaying. He is deceiving. He is asking for time. He's playing hide-and-seek with inspectors. One thing for sure is, he's not disarming. Surely our friends have learned lessons from the past. This looks like a rerun of a bad movie and I'm not interested in watching it."
