I reject any list that doesn’t include these gems:
“I do know that we have not succeeded [in Iraq] as fast as we wanted to succeed.”
–G. Bush
Q: You know, going back to September 2001, the president said, dead or alive, we’re going to get him [bin Laden]. Still don’t have him. I know you are saying there’s successes on the war on terror, and there have been. That’s a failure.
A: Well, I’m not sure — it’s a success that hasn’t occurred yet.
–Fran Fragos Townsend, White House homeland security advisor
