I was looking for the Motto, "We Rule the Night", because that is what will be demonstrated in Baghdad tonight - did not find whose motto that is, will have to make do with the following.
* "These things we do that others may live." -- USAF Pararescue
"Any Time, Any Place"
* "Make the Impossible Possible"
* "As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us." --
SirWinston Churchill
* "The truth shall set you free." -- U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Motto
* There is no limit to the good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit. -- General George C. Marshall
* Anybody who doesn't have fear is an idiot.
* If you're in a fair fight, you didn't plan it properly. -- Nick Lappos, Chief R&D Pilot, SikorskyAircraft.

\ And by far the best saying of all
*"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause;who, if he wins,knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails,at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -- "The Man in the Arena"

* Use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time." -- General George S. Patton, Jr.
* "Kill one, terrify a thousand." -- Sun Tzu
* "The universe is so vast and ageless that the life of one man can only be measured by the size of his sacrifice." -- Flying Officer VA Rosewarne, RAF
* "It is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep." -- Italian proverb

Is this article written by Andrew Greeley the ex-priest, or does Robert Fisk have another pen name?

Greeley might want to review the last several months. Saddam had MONTHS to comply, or surrender. He chose not to do either, and is DIRECTLY to blame for every single casualty, no matter which side it came from.
