Iraq is a manufactured conflict for the sake of geopolitical dominance in the area.
Janeane Garofalo

Iraq is a long way from the U.S., but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.
Madeleine Albright

Saddam's goal is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed.
Madeleine Albright

There are no black people in Iraq, so how will they know who to shoot at?
Greg Giraldo

We know that there are unaccounted-for Scud and other ballistic missiles in Iraq. And part of the problem is that, since 1998, there has been no way to even get minimal information about those programs except through intelligence means.
Condoleezza Rice

Any time you have a situation in which you are calling for more time rather than calling for Iraq to immediately comply, it plays into the hands of Saddam Hussein.
Condoleezza Rice

We needed to go back on the offense and offer clear leadership on Iraq.
Condoleezza Rice

Our policies toward Iraq simply are to protect the region and to protect Iraq's people and neighbors.
Condoleezza Rice

Latinos have fought in all of America's wars, beginning with the Revolutionary War. Many Latinos are fighting and dying for our country today in Iraq, just as several of their ancestors fought for freedom in Mexico over a century ago.
Joe Baca

So to recap: we may or may not be going to war with Iraq because Saddam may or may not have weapons of mass destruction, which he may or may not use, or pass to other terrorists groups with whom he may or may not have links.
Rory Bremner

This question about Iraq has gotten personal.
Gerhard Schroder

Iraq is not about oil.
Bobby Ray Inman

The U.N. is much more than the case of Iraq.
Hans Blix

What we now have in Iraq is a defeat.
Henry Waxman

We are ready to sacrifice our souls, our children and our families so as not to give up Iraq. We say this so no one will think that America is capable of breaking the will of the Iraqis with its weapons.
Saddam Hussein

Iraq is just a symbol of the attitude of western democracies to the rest of the world.
Harold Pinter

If you are Iraqi, you know who I am... and you know that I do not tire. I am the president of Iraq and I refuse to answer these questions because this court is illegitimate.
Saddam Hussein

I said I'm the president of Iraq... I did not say deposed.
Saddam Hussein

We were reminded first-hand of the work that still needs to be done in Iraq on the security front when insurgents fired five rounds into the base while we were still meeting with the nurses.
Jon Porter

There is only one option in Iraq: that we win.
