Inspection Quotes - Page 4

• I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for that is one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beasts. If the glory can be killed, we are lost.

• Keep in mind that the Iraqis are not telling us anything we don't already know or can't prove. This is what makes this whole inspection process and all the rigmarole surrounding it a total farce.

• Cuando se trata de lluvia ácida, vertidos de petróleo, agotamiento de recursos pesqueros, aguas subterráneas contaminadas, propulsores de fluorocarbono, fugas de radiación o enfermedades de transmisión sexual, las fronteras nacionales son irrelevantes. Las toxinas no se detienen en las inspecciones aduaneras y los microbios no llevan pasaporte. Norteamérica se convirtió en una zona acuática y de libre comercio mucho antes de que el TLCAN flexibilizara el mercado de bienes.

• ...I'm saying that we (Americans) have sunk pretty low and I'm saying that you can look at the moral climate in Germany in 1933. We have to ask ourselves if we found ourselves in Nazi Germany, what would we do. Now I say, let the inspection process take its course.

• Con una fuerza militar abrumadora ahora desplegada contra él y con una intensa vigilancia desde el espacio y el equipo de inspección de la ONU sobre el terreno, cualquier movimiento beligerante de Sadam contra un vecino sería suicida..... Si Irak posee tales armas ocultas, como es bastante probable, Sadam sólo las utilizaría en las circunstancias más extremas, ante una invasión de Irak, cuando se haya perdido toda esperanza de evitar la destrucción de su régimen.

• The cost of an on-site inspection team would be minuscule compared to war, Saddam would have no choice except to comply, the results would be certain, military and civilian casualties would be avoided, there would be almost unanimous worldwide support, and the United States could regain its leadership in combating the real threat of international terrorism.

• International inspectors are on the ground and Iran is being subjected to the most comprehensive, intrusive inspection regime ever negotiated to monitor a nuclear program. Inspectors will monitor Iran's key nuclear facilities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For decades to come, inspectors will have access to Iran's entire nuclear supply chain. In other words, if Iran tries to cheat - if they try to find build a bomb covertly, we will catch them.

• All buoyant leaders are driven by a real ambition- that is, what is being created that didn't exist before- and one criteria for that real ambition, is that on initial inspection, it seems fundamentally impossible.

• Papá confundió - por alguna razón que desconozco - confundió a su familia con un pelotón de Marines. Es decir, lo mismo que aportaba a la disciplina de un escuadrón, un batallón o un pelotón, lo aportaba a la disciplina de sus hijos. Dirigía la casa, nos inspeccionaba los sábados por la mañana, nos inspeccionaba con guante blanco cuando éramos niños.

• The deal with Iran is so stupid, it's so insanely stupid, that when people vote for me, they know I don't make deals like that. I get our prisoners back, I don't have 24 day inspection periods, I don't have self-inspection where they inspect themselves, I don't give them $150 billion that they can use for terrorism all over the world.

• I am not superstitious, but the first time I saw this medal, bearing the venerated likeness of John Calvin, I kissed it, imagining that no one saw the action. I was very greatly surprised when I received this magnificent present, which shall be passed round for your inspection. On the one side is John Calvin with his visage worn by disease and deep thought, and on the other side is a verse fully applicable to him: 'He endured, as seeing Him who is invisible.'

• You are not naked when you take off your clothes. You still wear your religious assumptions, your prejudices, your fears, your illusions, your delusions. When you shed the cultural operating system, then essentially you stand naked before the inspection of your own psyche.

• Haiti is the kind of place that grabs your heart, and never lets go ... When you arrive in Port-au-Prince, the first thing that strikes you is how vibrant the colors are. Buses, buildings, fences, clothing, everything is brightly painted in primary hues. On closer inspection, you see the reality behind this brightly colored landscape: a dark, grinding poverty, the worst in the Western hemisphere.

• [Operation] Rockingham was spinning reports and emphasizing reports that showed non-compliance (by Iraq with UN inspections) and quashing those which showed compliance. It was cherry-picking intelligence.

• Mi término favorito para un nuevo tipo de espectáculo es "teatro de seguridad". En este género, observamos cómo las inspecciones y cacheos ritualizados crean la ilusión de seguridad. Es una forma que se ha hecho común desde el 11-S, e incluso los organismos gubernamentales que participan en esta actividad reconocen, extraoficialmente, que se trata de una especie de teatro.

• The other day the plane that Barack Obama was on had some mechanical difficulties and was forced to land. Well, the National Transportation Safety Board did an inspection on the plane, and you know what they found? The bolts on the plane were fine, but apparently Jesse Jackson had taken some of the nuts off.
