Saddam Quotes - page 11

More coming out about Saddam Hussein. We now know he takes Viagra and he has as many as six mistresses. No wonder Congress is reluctant to take action against this guy - he's one of their own. (Jay Leno)
Well, there's nothing funnier to me than the French. The French Resistance is probably the biggest mythical joke that ever existed. There were four guys in the French Resistance. They couldn't hand over the Jewish people fast enough. Oh, please, don't tell me about the French. The French have all sorts of secret deals with Saddam and everybody else for two cents a liter. It's an easy target. View quote
Jay Leno
The absence of Saddam is a huge weight off the Arab world. View quote
Paul Wolfowitz
Why did we go to war? Why did we pick people from South Carolina, California, and all the places in between to go to a foreign land and risk their lives and have some die? To make sure that Saddam Hussein could do no more damage to the region or us than he has already done. View quote
Lindsey Graham
I read this morning that Saddam Hussein also said the love that the Iraqis have for him is so much greater than anything Americans feel for their President because he's been loved for 35 years, he says, the whole 35 years. View quote
Diane Sawyer
Certain days I think definitely because we went in there and we got Saddam and that was our mission. On other days, we lost so many lives and so many brothers and sisters...on that aspect, no. View quote
Jessica Lynch
George Bush and Tony Blair deserve the gratitude of everyone for standing up to the forces of evil. And they deserve our thanks as well for the action they are taking to disarm Saddam Hussein. View quote
Theresa May
I beg Osama to stop warring. He is a Muslim, and Islam means peace. Nobody wins in a war... I wish I were tapped in the problem about Iraq. I knew Saddam enough that I could have talked him into surrendering. But it's too late. View quote
Imelda Marcos
As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist: He is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. View quote
Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.
If Saddam were to be replaced tomorrow he would probably be replaced with someone who's just as bad or worse than he is. View quote
Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.
First of all, Saddam did not win the war, even though he says he did, I mean, you know, that's a joke and everybody in the world knows it. (Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.)
But the world is a better place with Saddam Hussein gone. View quote
Karl Rove
My position is that it isn't government's job to mandate patriotism. To me, mandating a pledge of allegiance to a government is something Saddam Hussein would do. View quote
Jesse Ventura
Most Iraqis, even if they hated Saddam and suffered, say life was much better under him than it was under the occupation and what's going on today. View quote
Tariq Ali
America was cool with Saddam Hussein when he was killing Iranians. View quote
Henry Rollins
I was an opponent of Saddam Hussein when the British and American governments and businessmen were selling him guns and gas. View quote
George Galloway
Saddam Hussein greeted me with a handshake, which, again to my surprise, is surprisingly soft considering how many people that hand had dispatched, allegedly. I think he's quite a forbidding presence, too forbidding a presence to be charming. But he's interesting. View quote
George Galloway
I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns. View quote
George Galloway
Every intelligence agency in the world believed that Saddam Hussein had had weapons of mass destruction, precursor chemicals. The inspectors, over a period of ten years, had managed to gain access to much of those precursor chemicals. View quote
John Reid
"We don't know that yet. We don't know that yet, Wolf. We still have a country whose city is mostly without electricity. We have tumultuous occasions in the south where there is no clear governance. We have a major city without clear governance." -- Howard Dean's reply to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, when asked if Iraq was better off without Saddam Hussein, April 23, 2003. View quote
Howard Dean
(as Tony Blair): "Look we believe Saddam has weapons of mass destruction. Now if we don't attack him, then he might not use them, and in that case we'll never know whether he's got them or not. And you know, that's not a risk I'm prepared to take. Besides if we do conquer Iraq, and remove Saddam Hussein, there's a chance we could win the Nobel Peace Prize, and you know, frankly, isn't that something worth going to war for?" (Rory Bremner)
We made them drink poison last night and Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly. View quote
Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf
You can make fun with Saddam Hussein jokes ... but you can't make fun of, say, the concentration camps. I think my target was not so much evil, but benign stupidity people doing stupid things without realising or, instead, thinking they were doing good. View quote
Tom Lehrer
As you go through history, I didn't think it was going to get quite this close. So it's just one of those recurring things... I hope this doesn't come true in our country. Maybe the film will waken people to the situation. ... When I wrote it [Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith], Iraq didn't exist... We were just funding Saddam Hussein and giving him weapons of mass destruction. We didn't think of him as an enemy at that time. We were going after Iran and using him as our surrogate, just as we were doing in Vietnam... The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable... View quote
George Lucas
You know the most important thing the Americans did for Iraq apart from liberating the country from Saddam was helping Iraq reduce its debt. The United States worked very hard to reduce 80 percent of Iraqi debt. View quote
