"We will never surrender"
Winston Churchill
(Imperfect quote overheard from radio yesterday)
"I never slept as soundly as the night following Pearl Harbor. For I knew that The American
Race would now be entering the war and it would never be the same."
--Winston Churchill
And another one for the coming conflict with world-class terrorists:
"In times of war, Truth is so precious that She must be protected by a bodyguard
of lies".
--Winston Churchill
Thus, I won't get too excited or too depressed by any news from the coming conflict.
Even if we hear depressing news from our own trust-worthy news sources, I'll
consider that it's actually dis-information meant to confuse or bait our enemies.
I always hold this quote from Churchill in mind, knowing that he allowed the Luftwaffe to
bomb Coventry without mounting a defense...so that the Nazis would not know that
their codes had been broken. This coming conflict may have other "gray" chapters
as well...they'd just better be necessary to win a final victory!

"I am besieged by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna.... The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, and our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I SHALL NEVER SURRENDER OR RETREAT."
---Col. William Barret Travis, commander of the Alamo.

My favorite Clinton quote is "I believe in killing people who try to hurt you."
It's a damn shame he applied it only to personal enemies and not enemies of the country.

My bad guys.....
The reason none of you were able to fix it was that it was not a bold < b > code, but rather I used a
< h4 > code
I left off the / closing tag, so I left two open < h4 tags.
Thanks for the help trying to fix though!

"By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends: in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies."
---President George W. Bush.
