You know, Obama has got that great slogan, "Yes, we can." And McCain has, "Go toward the light." Bill Maher
I don't bully easy. I mean, I hate to disagree with The New York Times - I was a strong vote to close down Guantanamo, and to restore habeas corpus, and we've fixed a lot of things in this bill. And the American citizens can still sue the people who are responsible, and that's this administration, and the government officials that were responsible for it. I do think that those companies did act in good faith, and this narrow exception I think is appropriate, because the heavy hand of government was around their neck. And I think we need to hold that heavy-handed government responsible, and that is the Bush administration. Sen. Claire McCaskill
We'll be doing our enemy's work for us if we keep getting into stupid wars, pissing off the world and running our military into the ground. Paul Rieckhoff
It's hard to imagine an enemy doing as much damage to our own reputation as we've done, in Iraq and in Guantanamo, and Abu Ghraib. And - I mean, this is fodder for our enemies. Nina Hachigian
It's colonialism. They don't hate us that much for idealism and all that crap. They just don't want us there, like anyone wouldn't. Bill Maher
If we can find a way to extricate ourselves from that place successfully, without genocide and chaos, we should absolutely do it. Can we just agree, we all want to get out? Bill Maher
President Bush has to stop coming back every few weeks to ask for yet another $70 billion for the war. Mr. President, you sound like a junkie. Bill Maher
We don't know what will happen if there's a terrorist attack. What generally happens is that the president, no matter which party it is, they benefit. When Bill Clinton was at war, he benefited from that. When Bush, after 9/11, his popularity went up to 91%. Most likely, he would benefit initially. The question then becomes, who do you trust? Frank Luntz
