Some good Quotes from Sullivan
QUOTE OF THE DAY I: "The French will always do exactly the opposite on what the United States wants regardless of what happens, so we're never going to have a consistent policy," - Howard Dean, 1998, arguing against exactly the kind of foreign policy he is now advocating.
QUOTE OF THE DAY II: "If he truly believes the capture of this evil man has not made America safer, then Howard Dean has put himself in his own spider hole of denial. I fear that the American people will wonder if they will be safer with him as president." - Joe Lieberman, finally taking the gloves off. And why shouldn't Lieberman go for broke with an unabashed pro-war appeal to a largely anti-war primary electorate? It's what he believes. It distinguishes him. He's losing anyway. And it's good for the Democrats to have a serious pro-war candidate (alongside Gephardt). Lieberman now needs a strong, simple ad on this theme - and fast.
GALLOWAY AWARD NOMINEE I: "Thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed by the US-led unjust and immoral war, and the death toll continues to rise as innocent people are being killed in US military raids, bombardments and Sharon-style collective punishment, and harmed by the depleted uranium shells used by the US-led forces. So at this moment of joy, other questions keep intruding: Who is going to try Bremer, Bush, Rumsfeld and Blair? Will Iraq ever be free?" - Sami Ramadan, Sydney Morning Herald.
GALLOWAY AWARD NOMINEE II: "Terrible news: Saddam is captured. The chicken hawks will gain in power now." - Ben Richards, Free Dartmouth, Dartmouth College's liberal blog.
GALLOWAY AWARD NOMINEE III: "There really do seem to be a lot of us here who are genuinely happy that Saddam is captured. This suprises me. I'm not happy they captured him. That's not to say that I'm sad. I just think today's news doesn't stir any emotion in me at all. Saddam was never a threat to me. He never did anything to me personally. I doubt he ever did anything to you. In fact, Saddam, over the course of his life and rule of Iraq, probably did more to help America than any other world leader. ..." - from our friends at the Democratic Underground.
