Famous quotes

« Don't kid yourself. President Obama's decision to withdraw 33,000 troops from Afghanistan before he stands for reelection is not driven by the United States' 'position of strength' in the war zone as much as it is by grim economic and political realities at home. »
Ron Fournier
« I grew up in a neighborhood in Baltimore that was like a war zone, so I never learned to trust that there were people who could help me. »
Jada Pinkett Smith
« In every war zone that I've been in, there has been a reality and then there has been the public perception of why the war was being fought. In every crisis, the issues have been far more complex than the public has been allowed to know. »
John le Carre
« The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining! »
Rupert Everett
« You can easily die racing to cover a bank robbery as you can in a war zone. »
