[Saddam Hussein] has developed stocks of germs and toxins in sufficient quantities to kill the entire population of the Earth multiple times. He has placed weapons laden with these poisons on alert to fire at his neighbors within minutes, not hours, and has devolved authority to fire them to subordinates.

John McCain. And there are actually people who want four more years of the same thing.
We are making no progress in the country. I'm despondent. I've been deluded for a long, long time, too.
But it was a beautiful day on the golf course. Nice to get away for a quiet walk.
