Samizdata quote of the day
Michael Jennings (London)  Slogans/quotations

I want to be plain about this. The overthrow of Saddam Hussein was justified whether or not there was reluctance to authorize it. ... No one could say it is wrong to overthrow a homicidal maniac. The Security Council sat on its hands for 10 years.

Don't believe those who say they aren't there just because we haven't found them. Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Iraq certainly did have weapons of mass destruction. Trust me. I held some in my own hands.

-- Former UN weapons inspector Richard Butler, via Glenn, to whom Samizdata remains loyal.

Of course he HAD them.... the U.S. supplied them to him.

PS Richard Butler also said: to allow the U.S. to be in charge of this new de-weaponising the world is like: "putting the fox in charge of the hen's house"
