Quotes about war
war opportunity iraq
After 9-11, the President had a historic opportunity to unite Americans and the world in common cause.

Joe Biden

Let's contemplate this, how many people would die if war breaks out. There are 2.7 billion people in the world. One-third could be lost; or, a little more, it could be half...
