Note the three most important Cabinet positions. Rice said that it was better to find the weapons of mass destruction than to see a mushroom cloud. ~ Andrew Greeley
Mass Destruction quotes by Andrew Greeley
It's a tragedy what is happening, what Bush is doing. All Bush wants is Iraqi oil. There is no doubt that the U.S. is behaving badly. Why are they not seeking to confiscate weapons of mass destruction from their ally Israel? This is just an excuse to get Iraq's oil. ~ Nelson Mandela
Mass Destruction quotes by Nelson Mandela
I think you have always heard, and you continue to hear from officials, a measure of high confidence that, indeed, the weapons of mass destruction will be found. ~ Ari Fleischer
Mass Destruction quotes by Ari Fleischer
Saddam Hussein is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction. ~ George W. Bush
Mass Destruction quotes by George W. Bush
Events. Events in response to other events. Think about it. Nothing since the big bang has happened without a reason. And even the big bang might have come from something, because of something. One thing makes another thing, and then that thing makes the next thing. Look at these kids. These two brothers, still kids. They don't know themselves yet. They are acting in response, in reaction, passionate reaction to something that set them off, made them commit to violence. They would not be here if the United States had not invaded Iraq in 2003. The United States would not have had fertile ground for the lie it told about Irag, weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein, etc., etc., if not for Osama bin Laden and 9/11. Osama bin Laden would not have been able to recruit those men to learn how to fly planes and then crash them into buildings if not for propaganda about the persecution of the global Muslims, Afghanistan after the Russian invasion, Chechnya in the nineties, Bosnian genocides, or any instance of Islam under attack by the West, one culture trying to extinguish another. History is always a story of cause and effect. ~ Laleh Khadivi
Mass Destruction quotes by Laleh Khadivi
Hunger is actually the worst weapon of mass destruction. It claims millions of victims each year. ~ Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva
Mass Destruction quotes by Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva
Any country on the face of the Earth with an active intelligence program knows that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. ~ Donald Rumsfeld
Mass Destruction quotes by Donald Rumsfeld
We wouldn't believe that the Germans, known as the enlightened world as 'bearers of culture,' were capable of planning and carrying out, in cold blood, without pity, the mass destruction of human beings by industrial means, as if they were bedbugs, flies, or other pests to be exterminated. ~ Joseph Bau
Mass Destruction quotes by Joseph Bau
We were told by the president that we had no alternative but to go into Iraq because of the threat that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction posed, but to date, these weapons have not been found. ~ Jay Rockefeller
Mass Destruction quotes by Jay Rockefeller
The United States found dozens of billions of dollars for military action in Iraq, so it should certainly be able to find a few billions of dollars to get rid of weapons of mass destruction. I'll assume that since the most powerful nation - the United States - has promised to pay for much of this, then its word will be kept. If it isn't, I don't think we can have a true partnership. ~ Mikhail Gorbachev
Mass Destruction quotes by Mikhail Gorbachev
Words are the true weapons of mass destruction ~ Steve Berry
Mass Destruction quotes by Steve Berry
War has changed.

It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines.

War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine.

War has changed.

ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities.

Genetic control, information control, emotion control, battlefield control…everything is monitored and kept under control.

War…has changed.

The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction, and he who controls the battlefield, controls history.

War…has changed.

When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine. ~ David Hayter
Mass Destruction quotes by David Hayter
We should be hell bent on getting those weapons of mass destruction, hell bent on having a credible approach to them, but we should try to do it in a way which keeps the world together and that achieves our goal which is removing the ... defanging Saddam.. ~ Carl Levin
Mass Destruction quotes by Carl Levin
They have computers, and they may have other weapons of mass destruction. ~ Janet Reno
Mass Destruction quotes by Janet Reno
I have absolutely no doubt at all that we will find evidence of weapons of mass destruction programmes. ~ Tony Blair
Mass Destruction quotes by Tony Blair
My journalistic mission was straightforward: to await the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Nobody knew quite when this would be. But the diplomacy - the meetings in the U.N. security council, the allegations about weapons of mass destruction, the martial language of Tony Blair and George W. Bush - all suggested a war was brewing. ~ Luke Harding
Mass Destruction quotes by Luke Harding
Before people crow about the absence of weapons of mass destruction, I suggest they wait a bit. ~ Tony Blair
Mass Destruction quotes by Tony Blair
The cult of military obedience and the cult of weapons of mass destruction are the two great follies of the modern age. ~ Freeman Dyson
Mass Destruction quotes by Freeman Dyson
When there happens to be a weapon of mass destruction suspect site in an area that we occupy and if people have time, they'll look at it. ~ Donald Rumsfeld
Mass Destruction quotes by Donald Rumsfeld
Repeatedly and frankly we have announced that in Irans national security doctrine there is no room for atomic and chemical weapons as we consider them against Islamic laws. Irans Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei) in this connection had issued a decree that mass destruction weapons are prohibited by the Muslim religion. [ ... ] Therefore we support the idea of a Middle East free from weapons of mass destruction[.] ~ Ali Larijani
Mass Destruction quotes by Ali Larijani
The politicians in this world ... have at their command weapons of mass destruction far more complex than their own thinking processes. ~ Charley Reese
Mass Destruction quotes by Charley Reese
On the issues that I care deeply about - the environment, Roe vs. Wade, the war in Iraq, with no weapons of mass destruction, the tax cuts that are now leading to deficits, I've got some deep issues with the president. ~ Lincoln Chafee
Mass Destruction quotes by Lincoln Chafee
My worry is that other advances in science may result in other means of
mass destruction, maybe more readily available even than nuclear weapons.
Genetic engineering is quite a possible area, because of these dreadful
developments that are taking place there. ~ Joseph Rotblat
Mass Destruction quotes by Joseph Rotblat
And like I say, I think we've got other cases other than Iraq. I do not think the problem of global proliferation of weapons technology of mass destruction is going to go away, and that's why I think it is an urgent issue. ~ David Kay
Mass Destruction quotes by David Kay
We should seek international support for our mutual objectives abroad, in promoting freedom, democracy, respect for human rights, and also the elimination of weapons of mass destruction. ~ Bob Menendez
Mass Destruction quotes by Bob Menendez
What we will not wait for is that particular nexus of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction that is extremism, and the technology to come together in a way that is harmful to the United States. ~ Condoleezza Rice
Mass Destruction quotes by Condoleezza Rice
You've probably been asked to care about things like HIV/AIDS or T.B. or measles, but diarrhea kills more children than all those three things put together. It's a very potent weapon of mass destruction. ~ Rose George
Mass Destruction quotes by Rose George
Weapons of Mass Destruction: Radioactive, Biological, or Chemical weapons capable of causing mass casualties and great destruction.

I wonder why humans aren't on the list? ~ Jorge Angeles
Mass Destruction quotes by Jorge Angeles
Libya is a good example of a country that has come to a realization that weapons of mass destruction threaten more than assure, and I hope that will be followed by others. ~ Mohamed ElBaradei
Mass Destruction quotes by Mohamed ElBaradei
The events of September 11 were carried out by people armed not with weapons of mass destruction, but with blades you can buy at a newsagent ~ Phillip Adams
Mass Destruction quotes by Phillip Adams
We believe, as the President has indicated, that this combination of a rogue state that possesses weapons of mass destruction and has known ties to terrorist organizations, is a grave threat to the people of the United States and to other countries around the world. ~ Paul Cellucci
Mass Destruction quotes by Paul Cellucci
Here they are proposing to us, through various secret pamphlets of foreign manufacture, that we should join ranks and form small groups for the sole purpose of creating mass destruction, under the pretext that since you can't treat the world, you can't cure anything, and that if you're radical enough to cut off a hundred million heads and thereby lighten your burden, you can jump across the ditch more confidently. A beautiful idea, no doubt, ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Mass Destruction quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction. ~ Warren Buffett
Mass Destruction quotes by Warren Buffett
We hear so much about weapons of mass destruction. But nine out of 10 war victims are killed by guns. It's the AK-47 that's a weapon of mass destruction. ~ Andrew Niccol
Mass Destruction quotes by Andrew Niccol
The possibility that terrorist groups could obtain weapons of mass destruction should not be dismissed as a fiction. This is a horrific threat the international community should take seriously. As long as these weapons exist, so, too, does the risk of their use - by accident or design. ~ Ban Ki-moon
Mass Destruction quotes by Ban Ki-moon
If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program. ~ William J. Clinton
Mass Destruction quotes by William J. Clinton
Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process. ~ Nancy Pelosi
Mass Destruction quotes by Nancy Pelosi
The development of weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to carry them would be a very destabilizing effect, should Iran be able to accomplish that. ~ Richard Armitage
Mass Destruction quotes by Richard Armitage
The threat from Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction - chemical, biological, potentially nuclear weapons capability - that threat is real. ~ Tony Blair
Mass Destruction quotes by Tony Blair
There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. As this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them. ~ Tommy Franks
Mass Destruction quotes by Tommy Franks
If history reveals any categorical truth, it is that an insufficient taste for evidence regularly brings out the worst in us. Add weapons of mass destruction to this diabolical clockwork, and you have ... a recipe for the fall of civilization. ~ Sam Harris
Mass Destruction quotes by Sam Harris
The ever more sophisticated weapons piling up in the arsenals of the wealthiest and the mightiest can kill the illiterate, the ill, the poor and the hungry, but they cannot kill ignorance, illness, poverty or hunger. ~ Fidel Castro
Mass Destruction quotes by Fidel Castro
To the contrary, I believe the U.S. military has already done all that has been asked of them. Saddam Hussein is on trial. The threat from alleged weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq has been neutralized. ~ Peter DeFazio
Mass Destruction quotes by Peter DeFazio
There was promulgation of false propaganda by the administration about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. There was promulgation of false propaganda about Iraq as a base for Al Qaeda. ~ Jimmy Carter
Mass Destruction quotes by Jimmy Carter
Some of the same self-certified smart people, who preached about mushroom clouds and weapons of mass destruction, are once again trying to stampede us into war. They seem to think only with their guns. To those who want to shoot first and ask questions later in Iraq, I join in a firm 'No!' We've been there and done that, and America is still paying for their past failure. ~ Lloyd Doggett
Mass Destruction quotes by Lloyd Doggett
Saddam Hussein played a terrible game of trying to deceive the world that he had weapons of mass destruction. Everyone bought it. The United States called him on his braggadocio, and we are all paying for the results - especially the American taxpayer. ~ John Shimkus
Mass Destruction quotes by John Shimkus
I will continue to push for doubling the strength of the U.S. Border Patrol, and to make sure that every cargo container that enters this nation is screened for radiation and potential weapons of mass destruction. ~ Nick Lampson
Mass Destruction quotes by Nick Lampson
We have it. The smoking gun. The evidence. The potential weapon of mass destruction we have been looking for as our pretext of invading Iraq. There's just one problem - it's in North Korea. ~ Jon Stewart
Mass Destruction quotes by Jon Stewart
We have high confidence that they have weapons of mass destruction. That is what this war was about and it is about. ~ Ari Fleischer
Mass Destruction quotes by Ari Fleischer
I share the administration's goals in dealing with Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction. ~ Dick Gephardt
Mass Destruction quotes by Dick Gephardt
No, it turns out Saddam Hussein didn't have weapons of mass destruction. And how crazy does that make Saddam? All he had to do was tell Hans Blix, 'Look anywhere you want. Look under the bed. Look beneath the couch. Look behind the toilet tank in the third presidential palace on the left, but keep your mitts off my copies of Maxim.' And Saddam could have gone on dictatoring away until Donald Rumsfeld gets elected head of the World Council of Churches. But no . . . ~ P.J. O'Rourke
Mass Destruction quotes by P.J. O'Rourke
America has shown we are serious about removing the threat of weapons of mass destruction." ... "We now know that Saddam Hussein had the capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction ... We know he had the necessary infrastructure because we found the labs and the dual-use facilities that could be used for these chemical and biological agents. We know that he was developing the delivery systems ballistic missiles that had been prohibited by the United Nations. ~ Dick Cheney
Mass Destruction quotes by Dick Cheney
States like these [Iran, Iraq, North Korae], and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic. ~ George W. Bush
Mass Destruction quotes by George W. Bush
I personally think that today, Iraq without Saddam Hussein is a truly better Iraq than with Saddam Hussein, but naturally I also feel uncomfortable due to the fact that we were misled with the information on weapons of mass destruction. ~ Aleksander Kwasniewski
Mass Destruction quotes by Aleksander Kwasniewski
The French had an obvious financial interest in Iraq. That's been documented. They were involved financially in Iraq and in some cases, I think with weapons of mass destruction. ~ Curt Weldon
Mass Destruction quotes by Curt Weldon
The consequence of Mr. Bush's and Blair's historic lie that the reason for invading Iraq was weapons of mass destruction, is that everything is being doubted. ~ Walid Jumblatt
Mass Destruction quotes by Walid Jumblatt
The president's poking fun at himself over what goes down. I thought it was a good-natured performance. It made him look good. But he certainly doesn't disguise the record on weapons of mass destruction. And you feel like saying to people, Just get over it. ~ Brit Hume
Mass Destruction quotes by Brit Hume
Saddam Hussein has been tenacious in his pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and, unless he is removed from power, he will eventually harm our nation and our allies. Every moment we delay allows him to grow stronger. ~ Richard Shelby
Mass Destruction quotes by Richard Shelby
We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more. ~ Colin Powell
Mass Destruction quotes by Colin Powell
We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge. We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors. ~ George W. Bush
Mass Destruction quotes by George W. Bush
We must abandon the unworkable notion that it is morally reprehensible for some countries to pursue weapons of mass destruction, yet morally acceptable for others to rely on them for security - and indeed to continue to refine their capacities and postulate plans for their use ~ Mohamed ElBaradei
Mass Destruction quotes by Mohamed ElBaradei
I've learned to distinguish between the greatness of God and the inexcusable evil that has been done by those professing his name. And so I do not deduce [as Christopher Hitchens does] that God is not great, and that religion poisons everything. After all, if I failed to distinguish between the genius of Einstein and the abuse of his science to create weapons of mass destruction, I might be tempted to say science is not great, and technology poisons everything. ~ John Lennox
Mass Destruction quotes by John Lennox
If terrorists succeeded in using a weapon of mass destruction against the U.S. or one of our allies, it would likely have catastrophic consequences for our cherished republican form of government. ~ Tommy Franks
Mass Destruction quotes by Tommy Franks
Everybody has to chip in, I think, and see how we can have a functioning system of collective security where we do not continue to face the threat of countries trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction or particularly nuclear weapons. ~ Mohamed ElBaradei
Mass Destruction quotes by Mohamed ElBaradei
Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, distinctly heard the voice of Jesus telling him to kill women, and he was locked up for life. George W. Bush says that God told him to invade Iraq (a pity God didn't vouchsafe him a revelation that there were no weapons of mass destruction). ~ Richard Dawkins
Mass Destruction quotes by Richard Dawkins
And more recently, the world had been led to believe that weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq. ~ Dan Brown
Mass Destruction quotes by Dan Brown
If you allow someone like Saddam Hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons, how many people is he going to kill with such weapons? He's already demonstrated a willingness to use these weapons. He poison-gassed his own people. He used poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors. This man has no compunction about killing lots and lots of people. So this is a way to save lives and to save the stability and peace of a region of the world that is important to the peace and security of the entire world. ~ Al Gore
Mass Destruction quotes by Al Gore
The worst nightmare in the world is a radical Islamic regime with a weapon of mass destruction. ~ Lindsey Graham
Mass Destruction quotes by Lindsey Graham
North Korea is making several demands in exchange for giving up their nuclear program, including a promise from America not to attack them. Which is a little strange because for us to attack them we would have to have slam dunk proof that they have weapons of mass destruction. I mean, for Gods sakes people, we're not maniacs. It would have to be an air-tight case. We wouldn't just come in there and start bombing you. ~ Jon Stewart
Mass Destruction quotes by Jon Stewart
Saddam Hussein has openly admitted to the rest of the world that he had weapons of mass destruction. He used those weapons to kill his own people. ~ Saxby Chambliss
Mass Destruction quotes by Saxby Chambliss
The products built in the factories of G.M., Ford and Chrysler are some of the greatest weapons of mass destruction responsible for global warming and the melting of our polar icecaps. ~ Michael Moore
Mass Destruction quotes by Michael Moore
Well, the next attack in the United States will be larger than 9/11. And there's no doubt that if they have a weapon of mass destruction, they'll use it. ~ Michael Scheuer
Mass Destruction quotes by Michael Scheuer
Throughout our courtship, Kenny told me that he had proof that Saddam Hussein was a threat because he possessed weapons of mass destruction. I told him, 'You had me at weapons.' ~ Renee Zellweger
Mass Destruction quotes by Renee Zellweger
We worried for decades about WMDs – Weapons of Mass Destruction. Now it is time to worry about a new kind of WMDs – Weapons of Mass Disruption. ~ John Mariotti
Mass Destruction quotes by John Mariotti
No one has yet demonstrated Iraq's compliance with its disarmament obligations, nor has anyone ever accounted for its missing weapons stocks, much less disputed that they are missing. Nor has anyone conclusively explained why a nation under sanctions for failing to comply with its disarmament obligations was for twelve years incapable of documenting its supposed compliance after claiming to comply. And yet somehow, in a truly Orwellian inversion, the burden for finding Iraqi WMDs has become ours, not Iraq's, to discharge. ~ Irfan Khawaja
Mass Destruction quotes by Irfan Khawaja
Our task, your task ... is to try to connect the dots before something happens. People say, 'Well, where's the smoking gun?' Well, we don't want to see a smoking gun from a weapon of mass destruction. ~ Donald Rumsfeld
Mass Destruction quotes by Donald Rumsfeld
The number of nuclear bombs on the planet today - the sheer quantity of weapons of mass destruction in the possession of people and governments throughout the world - along with the fact that the use of brute force and militarism is an almost knee-jerk way of problem-solving on the planet today, makes the eradication of war the great moral issue of this generation. ~ Marianne Williamson
Mass Destruction quotes by Marianne Williamson
One of the most important post-9/11 efforts made to counter terrorism and the spread of weapons of mass destruction is President Bush's Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI). ~ Frank Gaffney
Mass Destruction quotes by Frank Gaffney
As far as Iraq is concerned, let's not forget what the UNSCR is about, that the main consideration in Iraq is that there is a leader who has been developing weapons of mass destruction, and has been violating UN resolutions for over a decade. ~ Donald Evans
Mass Destruction quotes by Donald Evans
Bombs take hours or days to reach every corner of the earth. Words arrive instantly and kill more people. They are a weapon of mass destruction. ~ Haim Harari
Mass Destruction quotes by Haim Harari
You won't be reading reviews of the dystopian sci-fi flick Aeon Flux in the papers today because it wasn't screened for the press-and, given that it cost the GDP of a small country and that Charlize Theron and the director, Karyn Kusama, are critics' darlings, this could mean but one thing: A stinker. A weapon of mass destruction. A planet-killer. Folks, I'll never understand studios. Aeon Flux is not that terrible. ~ David Edelstein
Mass Destruction quotes by David Edelstein
It goes without saying that the stability of the Middle East is the foundation for peace and prosperity for the world, and of course for Japan, should we leave terrorism or weapons of mass destruction to spread in this region, the loss imparted upon the international community would be immeasurable. ~ Shinzo Abe
Mass Destruction quotes by Shinzo Abe
The fact of the matter is we went after Iraq for oil. And the fact of the matter is that the United States has degraded our role as a great nation by attacking this nation that had no capacity to attack the United States and no intention of doing so, that didn't have anything to do with 9/11, didn't have weapons of mass destruction. ~ Dennis Kucinich
Mass Destruction quotes by Dennis Kucinich
Weapons of mass destruction violate more than individual lives - they cross international borders and jeopardize all people. They also drain resources that could be used instead for medicines, schools and other life-saving supplies. We must come together with even greater determination to prevent a WMD nightmare. ~ Ban Ki-moon
Mass Destruction quotes by Ban Ki-moon
They may have had time to destroy them, and I don't know the answer. ~ Donald Rumsfeld
Mass Destruction quotes by Donald Rumsfeld
The 'coming of the Self' is immanent; and the process of collective 'individuation' is living itself out in human history. One way or another, the world is going to be made a single whole entity. But it will be unified either in mutual mass destruction or by means of mutual human consciousness. If a sufficient number of individuals can have the experience of the coming of the Self as an individual, inner experience, we may just possibly be spared the worst features of its external manifestation. ~ Edward F Edinger
Mass Destruction quotes by Edward F Edinger
Although the patriarchal ego prides itself on being reasonable, the twentieth century has been anything but the Age of Reason. In our collective neurosis, we have raped the earth, disrupted the delicate balance of nature, and created phallic missiles of mass destruction. ~ Marion Woodman
Mass Destruction quotes by Marion Woodman
Diarrhea, 90 percent of which is caused by food and water contaminated by excrement, kills a child every fifteen seconds. That's more than AIDS, malaria, or measles, combined. Human feces are an impressive weapon of mass destruction. ~ Rose George
Mass Destruction quotes by Rose George
I was interested in implements of mass destruction - from an academic point of view. ~ Dan Farmer
Mass Destruction quotes by Dan Farmer
The single biggest threat that we face is a nuclear weapon or some weapon of mass destruction. What that means is that we have to be extraordinarily aggressive and vigilant in controlling nuclear proliferation. ~ Barack Obama
Mass Destruction quotes by Barack Obama
The Internet definitely could be a weapon of mass destruction - it's not going to come in a bomb, it's going to come as a cyberattack. It's pretty amazing to see what a small group of people can do if they really know how to control the universe. ~ Christian Slater
Mass Destruction quotes by Christian Slater
Religions that teach brotherly love have been used as an excuse for persecution, and our profoundest scientific insight is made into a means of mass destruction. ~ Bertrand Russell
Mass Destruction quotes by Bertrand Russell
The strength of the United States is not the gold at Fort Knox or the weapons of mass destruction that we have, but the sum total of the education and the character of our people. ~ Claiborne Pell
Mass Destruction quotes by Claiborne Pell
There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years. And that may happen sooner if he can obtain access to enriched uranium from foreign sources
something that is not that difficult in the current world. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction. ~ Jay Rockefeller
Mass Destruction quotes by Jay Rockefeller
It has often been suggested to me that the Constitution of the United States is a sufficient safeguard for the freedom of its citizens. It is obvious that even the freedom it pretends to guarantee is very limited. I have not been impressed with the adequacy of the safeguard. The nations of the world, with centuries of international law behind them, have never hesitated to engage in mass destruction when solemnly pledged to keep the peace; and the legal documents in America have not prevented the United States from doing the same. Those in authority have and always will abuse their power. And the instances when they do not do so are as rare as roses growing on icebergs. Far from the Constitution playing any liberating part in the lives of the American people, it has robbed them of the capacity to rely on their own resources or do their own thinking. Americans are so easily hoodwinked by the sanctity of law and authority. In fact, the pattern of life has become standardized, routinized, and mechanized like canned food and Sunday sermons. The hundred-percenter easily swallows syndicated information and factory-made ideas and beliefs. He thrives on the wisdom given him over the radio and cheap magazines by corporations whose philanthropic aim is selling America out. He accepts the standards of conduct and art in the same breath with the advertising of chewing gum, toothpaste, and shoe polish. Even songs are turned out like buttons or automobile tires--all cast from the same mold. ~ Emma Goldman
Mass Destruction quotes by Emma Goldman
We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. ~ Bob Graham
Mass Destruction quotes by Bob Graham
Change of regime with respect to Iraq had nothing to do with this; it had everything to do with the fact that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. And at the time change in regime as a policy came into effect in 1998, it was seen as the only way to compel Iraq to get rid of its weapons of mass destruction. ~ Colin Powell
Mass Destruction quotes by Colin Powell
I'm not concerned about weapons of mass destruction. ~ Douglas Feith
Mass Destruction quotes by Douglas Feith
The wheel of Time wrote the first half of the poetry of mass destruction on the black board of the ashes of a funeral ground by dint of a pair of pens of nuclear bombs. ~ Manmohan Acharya
Mass Destruction quotes by Manmohan Acharya
Terrorists have already attacked our Nation once. There is every reason to believe that they will try again - possibly with a weapon of mass destruction; a weapon that could be smuggled into our ports. ~ Mike Fitzpatrick
Mass Destruction quotes by Mike Fitzpatrick
