The war in Afghanistan is not of a peace with the rest of Obama's worldview. It's a holdover from the era that his election was supposed to bring to a close.
‐‐ George Packer
The war in Afghanistan is too important to be reduced to a political football. We are fighting there to protect our national security. We are confronting the Taliban-led insurgency to prevent terrorists returning to that country.
‐‐ Bob Ainsworth
The war in Iraq has as much to do with terrorism as the administration has to do with compassion.
‐‐ Julian Bond
The war in Iraq has been extremely divisive here at home, and has also divided the world community.
‐‐ Adam Schiff
'The war in Iraq - if Osama was a Christian - it's the Christmas present he never would have expected.
‐‐ Michael Scheuer
The war in Iraq, the abuse of detainees, electronic eavesdropping, Guantanamo Bay - these things were all done on our behalf and they may turn out in the end to have created more terrorists.
‐‐ Jess Walter
The war in Iraq will end, our troops will come home, Bush will be impeached and he will be brought to justice.
‐‐ Cindy Sheehan
'The War in the Air' describes the destruction of Manhattan by air attack.
‐‐ Tom Reiss
The war in Vietnam I thought a dreadful mistake.
‐‐ Stephen Ambrose
The war industry people are very together; they know exactly what they want; they don't even have to talk to each other. The peace industry people are just intellectuals who are very critical of each other... Unless the peace industry is powerful, we're always going to have war. It is as simple as that.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
The war is coming to the streets of America and if you are not keeping and bearing and practicing with your arms then you will be helpless and you will be the victim of evil.
‐‐ Ted Nugent
The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters - not to talk in armies and nations and numbers - but to track it home.
‐‐ D. H. Lawrence
The war is not planned. I don't believe that any responsible person plans it. But it's thought as possible.
‐‐ Heinrich Boll
The War on Drugs employs millions - politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military - that probably couldn't find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners.
‐‐ L. Neil Smith
The war on drugs is a war against the communities.
‐‐ Holly Near
The war on drugs is being lost on a daily basis.
‐‐ Rhys Ifans
The war on drugs is not being won, and it continues to threaten stability and democracy not only in the Andes but throughout the Caribbean as well, where tiny police and military forces are outclassed by the sophisticated equipment in the hands of traffickers passing through the region on the way to their market in this country.
‐‐ Elliott Abrams
The war on drugs is wrong, both tactically and morally. It assumes that people are too stupid, too reckless, and too irresponsible to decide whether and under what conditions to consume drugs. The war on drugs is morally bankrupt.
‐‐ Larry Elder
The war on Iraq was a disaster, clearly carried out under false pretences.
‐‐ Joe Wilson
The war on meth must be fought with a multi-pronged approach.
‐‐ Greg Walden
The war on terror, I believe, will be waged by effective intelligence and police work and cruise missiles.
‐‐ Michael Mandelbaum
The war on terror, if this is a war on terror, can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.
‐‐ Hamid Karzai
The war on terror is a fight that we did not start, but it is one that we shall finish.
‐‐ Nick Lampson
The War on Terror is one of the most critical national security efforts in our history.
‐‐ Sue Kelly
The war on terror is the most insane and immoral war of all time. The Americans are doing what they did in Vietnam, bombing villages. But how can a civilised nation do this? How can you can eliminate suspects, their wives, their children, their families, their neighbours? How can you justify this?
‐‐ Imran Khan
The war on terror is the war in Afghanistan.
‐‐ Nancy Pelosi
The war on terrorism has made national security a legitimate concern, and a rising deficit, changes brought on by globalization and even the price of oil have thrown the nation's economic health into question.
‐‐ Roger Mahony
The War Powers Act requires presidents to seek the consent of the American people, through their representatives, before sending our troops into war. It is the responsibility of Congress to deliberate and consult with the executive branch before involving ourselves in a military conflict.
‐‐ Charles B. Rangel
The war project at Stanford was essentially completed, and I accepted an offer of an Assistant Professorship at the University of Minnesota, which had a good biochemistry department.
‐‐ Paul D. Boyer
The war to rein in Wall Street excess is never over.
‐‐ Timothy Noah
The war waged against terror since September 11 puts a strain on democracy itself, because it is mostly waged in secret, using means that are at the edge of both law and morality. Yet democracies have shown themselves capable of keeping the secret exercise of power under control.
‐‐ Michael Ignatieff
The war was a mirror; it reflected man's every virtue and every vice, and if you looked closely, like an artist at his drawings, it showed up both with unusual clarity.
‐‐ George Grosz
The war... was an unnecessary condition of affairs, and might have been avoided if forebearance and wisdom had been practiced on both sides.
‐‐ Robert E. Lee
The war was declared over - the end of major combat operations - in May 2003. Release procedures got under way immediately; reducing the population from 8,000 to just over 300, of course, requires fewer military police soldiers.
‐‐ Janis Karpinski
The war was the end of an era, in art as well. And we were trying to create a new philosophy.
‐‐ Douglas Sirk
The war we are fighting today against terrorism is a multifaceted fight. We have to use every tool in our toolkit to wage this war - diplomacy, finance, intelligence, law enforcement, and of course, military power - and we are developing new tools as we go along.
‐‐ Richard Armitage
The war we have to wage today has only one goal and that is to make the world safe for diversity.
‐‐ U Thant
The War will leave none of us as it found us.
‐‐ May Sinclair
The war years were the most difficult time of my life. There was real famine in Moscow. The water froze inside the houses. There was no heat.
‐‐ Mstislav Rostropovich
The ward designs were co-created by myself and Lauren K. Cannon. She read how they were described in 'The Warded Man,' and we had long discussions about what sources to draw from for the symbols, drawing inspiration from Arabic, Japanese, Chinese and Sanskrit.
‐‐ Peter V. Brett
The wardrobe is always the last piece of the puzzle. When you step into the clothing, that's the final step to figuring out that character.
‐‐ Mia Wasikowska
'The Warmth of the Sun' was a very beautiful song that Brian and I wrote in the time period associated with President Kennedy's assassination. We didn't write words about that, but it was around that time we recorded that song, and there's a lot of emotion involved there.
‐‐ Mike Love
The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood.
‐‐ Alexander Haig
The warrior may fight for gold or for an immediate gain, or for something to take home for the winter to feed the family. The soldier is part of a more complex society. He's fighting for a group ethic of some sort.
‐‐ C. J. Cherryh
The wars don't end when you sign peace treaties or when the years go by. They will echo on until I'm gone and all the widows and orphans are gone.
‐‐ Tim O'Brien
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are as much every U.S. citizen's wars as they are the veterans' wars. If we don't assume that civilians have just as much ownership and the moral responsibilities that we have as a nation when we embark on something like that, then we're in a very bad situation.
‐‐ Phil Klay
The wars of the future will be fought by computer technicians and by lawyers and high-altitude specialists, and that may mean war will be increasingly abstract, hard to think about and hard to control.
‐‐ Michael Ignatieff
The Washington black community was able to succeed beyond his wildest dreams. I mean, we had our own newspapers, our own restaurants, our own theaters, our own small shops, our own clubs, our own Masonic lodges.
‐‐ Ed Smith
The Washington Bullets are changing their name. They don't want their team to be associated with crime. From now on, they'll just be known as the Bullets.
‐‐ Jay Leno
The Washington establishment think Republicans win elections by you don't stand for anything, you keep your head down, you don't rock the boat. You know what? Every time we do that, we get clobbered in the polls.
