George W. Bush is President
"I'm saddened, saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now
forced to war. Saddened that we have to give up one life because this president couldn't create
the kind of diplomatic effort that was so critical for our country."

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed
appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. Even so you
also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."
(Matthew 23:27-28) |

when Bill Clinton was President
"Look, we have exhausted virtually our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with
their own agreements and with international law. Given that, what other option is there but
to force them to do so? … This is the key question. And the answer is, we don't have
another option. We have got to force them to comply, and we are
doing so militarily."
