[ladyinred]

I second that one HLL!
"Let's Roll!"

[LadyDoc]

ditto. Let's roll

[bribriagain]

"Don't get snippy"

[Cool Guy]

LET'S ROLL

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

LETS ROLL

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

"Let's roll!" is the hands-down winner, but I kinda like "Boooooo!" (for Hillary, of course).

[Kermit]

Just picked up this quote:

"On remnants of a CBU87 cluster bomb, an American soldier had written before dropping his weapon: “For those whose dreams were taken, Here are a few nightmares. This is gonna shine like a diamond in a goat’s ass."

[bribriagain]

Ditto

[bribriagain]

"let's roll" ditto

[mitchbert]

George Will:

"Bill Clinton may have not been our worst President, but he was the worst man to ever be President>"

9/17/01
"When I take action I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive." ~President George W. Bush

[bribriagain]

Those were the first words uttered in the fight against terrorism.

[irish_lad]

I just love Rummy's quote, probably not on the official quote sheet:

"These Al-Queda are real dead-enders."

I also like Senator Hagel of Nebraska who stated shortly after 9/11/01:

"We don't need anyone's permission to reign down hell on the heads of the people who did this."

[Bosco]

White House reporter: "What will happen to Saddam Hussein if he doesn't comply with our demands to inspect Iraq?"

President: He'll find out.

[cantbebought]

"I, George Walker Bush , do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

[elbucko]

It's on par with George Bush Sr.'s "This will not stand". A soundbite looking for a reason.""

I'll drink to that.

[jws3sticks]

I second this quote with total support. Excellent choice!

[RKBA_Champ]

Reporter: Mr. Rumsfeld. Why are we using daisycutters in Afghanistan?
Mr. Rumsfeld: ... Well, were trying to kill people.

[uvular]

Oh, that's the best!

However, this is my second favorite: 11/6/01 Headline: Silence of 4 Terror Probe Suspects Poses Dilemma Give me a cordless drill and five minutes and I'll have the hankie heads singing "God Bless America" like Kate Smith. by IronJack

[VA Advogado]

"I, George Walker Bush , do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

DING DING DING. We have a winner. It all comes back to this.

[P8riot]

I like "It's God's job to forgive bin Laden, it's our job to arrange the meeting." Attributed to a Marine

[RikaStrom]

When I take action I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive." ~President George W. Bush

Oh I love this one. I have it printed out a and posted at my desk.

I vote for this.

[CARDINALRULES]

There are just too many great Freeper quotes to choose from.

Like....
3/15/01
"Professor Reich, this is your party your writing about. Those are extremely strong words," Blitzer complained, apparently dumbfounded by Reich's candor.

BLITZagra, the new blue pill from Pfizer. For reporters who couldn't manage to raise a penetrating question in the last 8 years. by Doctor Raoul

4/3/01
You may be a liberal if...
You think teenagers are simply unable to control their sex urges, but rapists should be released from prison early because they are able control theirs. by HighWheeler

Only on April so I will keep looking at the rest.

[Lady GOP]

"Great to have you back. Just don't steal the silverware!"

-- President Bush greeting Democratic National Committee "Chairman Terry McAuliffe on a White House receiving line before the Dec. 2 Kennedy Center Honors.

[VMI70]

I just read the whole years worth and narrowed it down to three:

9/14/01
Man With False Pilot's ID Arrested:
Well, if they are this stupid as to try this very same stunt on the very first day any flights are leaving, and from East Coast airports, when it's clear that the entire nation is looking for this, then I am very heartened.

We have met our enemy, and he is a dumbass.

by Dog Gone

11/23/01
Headline: Geraldo on Fox
He did compliment Fox News Channel and begged the viewers to "give him a chance."

Yup, I'll do that right after I invite Jane Fonda over for tea.

by mombonn

11/28/01

If You Can't Dazzle Them With Brilliance, Riddle Them With Bullets !!!

--GeekDejure's UZI mounted Spotlight by GeekDejure

After much thought, I hereby nominate:

We have met our enemy, and he is a dumbass.

FReegards,

[denydenydeny]

The one from today, written on a bomb fragment found at Tora Bora:

"For those whose dreams were taken, here are a few nightmares."

[Wagonmaster]

Nothing lame about "LET ROLL', God bless those who said it.

[CMailBag]

GWB on the bullhorn in New York...I hear you and soon the whole world will hear you...

[bribriagain]

"Let's roll" is a pure and simple message that conveys the thoughts of a nation... a nation at war.

[bribriagain]

circle the wagons bump

[Wagonmaster]

Sorry "LET'S ROLL".

[GOPyouth]

Let's Roll!

[tgiles]

Another vote for "a camel in the butt"

Also, "I can hear you! The whole world hears you! And those people who took these buildings down will hear from ALL of us soon."

[AlGone2001]

"I did not make peace with that man, Usama bin Laden."

[Dog Gone]

Woo Hoo! My sweet old mother would never approve of the language I used in that quote, but sometimes ya gots to say what's gots to be said.

Thanks for digging that one up.

[Batman94]

Let's Roll has to win but here's an honorable mention from
last year at repub convention.

"They had their chance, they have not led, we wil!" W>

[SAMWolf]

I heard one the other day on the radio that I liked:
"It's God's place to forgive Osama Bin Laden. It's the Marines job to arrange a face-to-face meeting"

[OldEagle]

That's the one!!!

[Vinnie]

Yes !

".... Camel in the butt........."

[JusPasenThru]

I third the motion.

[Tribune7]

"Are you guys ready? Let's roll'" by Todd Beamer is the clear winner but "Osama bin Laden, you can kiss my royal Irish ass" by Michael Moran, deserves an honorable mention.

[MarthaNOStewart]

Well I love all of the ones I've read here, however IMHO my husband said it best last Friday when they said "THE TALIBAN HAD SURRENDERED AT KUNDAHAR...AND I quote "The Taliban said they were going to fight to the death, or was it until Friday..which ever comes first!"

[GeekDejure]

If You Can't Dazzle Them With Brilliance, Riddle Them With Bullets !!!

Thanks for your consideration,VM!!! . . . Hence, I shall merely keep my UZI mounted Spotlight trained upon you!!! ;-)) . . . Therefore, I'll be saving my Bullets for application on the Evil Enemy Terrorists!!!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

You should put a "Quote-of-the-Day" book together...these are wonderful all together.

I vote for "Let's Roll," too, but these are a hoot:
