Political Quotes

“We talked about the horrors of Saddam. I will give you one of the ones that I have not seen published anywhere, but that I heard on my last trip. I had the opportunity to go through the Ministry of Health. Then I had the opportunity to go through a hospital. We have heard about the mass graves, the slaughter of the Kurds and all of these types of folks. The one anecdote that somebody asked if I had heard about, they said, have you heard about our cornea transplant policy in Iraq? I said, no. He said, all the cornea transplants were done on Monday and Thursday. Executions were done Sunday night and Wednesday night. Just one other example and these are stories that come from the Iraqis. These folks are thankful that this man is gone. They are thankful that we are there, and they want us to stay because they trust us a whole lot more than they trust the U.N.”
