"'Don't overreact,' some say. We aren't," Blair said steadily. "We haven't lashed out. No missiles on the fight night just for effect." -- Tony Blair in a not so thinly veiled slap at bill clintoon

"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 ass. It's going to be decisive." -- President George W. Bush

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and forever!)

But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour." -- Winston Churchill

Asked about his attitude towards bin Laden as an opponent, Mr Blair told Arabian TV: “We have faced, in my country before, people who have tried to conquer or to subdue or suppress by violence and terror.
“I do not respect them. What they get from me is our total determination to defeat them.”

"Bin laden is a worthy opponent" --bill clinton
