September Quotes - Page 9

• It's not hard to see why. Although it adds to our overall understanding of Benghazi, even a cursory read reveals sloppy errors of fact and numerous internal contradictions.

For example, to say that since the fall of the Soviet Union we ceased all of our intimate relationship with Bin Laden and the Taliban - those things can be proven as lies, very easily, based on the information they classified in my case, because we did carry very intimate relationship with these people, and it involves Central Asia, all the way up to September 11.

• Now, more than ever, we need people in space... The events of September 11 show us how vulnerable we and our civilization are down here on Earth... So let us use our strength, our awareness of mortality as a civilization, to do something truly lasting and earth-shaking for humanity. Let us join with the peoples and cultures of this planet, the diversities of its perspectives and religions and science, so we can leave it-not behind, but as a springboard to something better.

• On September 17, 1914, Erzberger, the well-known German statesman, an eminent member of the Catholic Party, wrote to the Minister of War, General von Falkenhayn, "We must not worry about committing an offence against the rights of nations nor about violating the laws of humanity. Such feelings today are of secondary importance"? A month later, on October 21, 1914, he wrote in Der Tag, "If a way was found of entirely wiping out the whole of London it would be more humane to employ it than to allow the blood of A SINGLE GERMAN SOLDIER to be shed on the battlefield!"

• Un sustituto del Imperio del Mal (la Unión Soviética) en vías de desaparición ha sido la amenaza de los narcotraficantes de América Latina. A principios de septiembre de 1989, el Presidente lanzó un importante bombardeo mediático. Ese mes, los cables de AP publicaron más noticias sobre drogas que sobre América Latina, Asia, Oriente Medio y África juntas. Si se miraba la televisión, todos los noticiarios tenían una gran sección sobre cómo las drogas estaban destruyendo nuestra sociedad, convirtiéndose en la mayor amenaza para nuestra existencia, etc.

And I -- again, I just -- I want to thank the President for the honor in allowing me to go there, because I lost 23 people. I wear this memorial band for the 23 I lost.
