Dick Cheney
- Gen. Colin Powell: Funny Dick, I remember you once agreeing that going all the way in Baghdad would be a mistake.
- Dick Cheney: Well, I think you made a bigger boo-boo Colin. You could have been president.
- Gen. Colin Powell: Fuck you.
- Gen. Colin Powell: So what is our real exit strategy on Iraq, Dick?
- Dick Cheney: There is no exit. We stay.
- Gen. Colin Powell: Spoken like a true oilman.
- Dick Cheney: You think with all your diplomatic bullshit, that you can appease Islamic fascists who are as *nuts* as Hitler.
- [wry chuckle]
- Dick Cheney: Want to know what I see, Mr. President? I see a world where, in about 25 years, America's reserves are gone. Done. Demand is up, 30-40%, and we have 2 oceans blocks us from the world's reserves. You think we're gonna have allies then?
- Dick Cheney: Mr. President, if there was an E. Coli breakout in a produce farm in Maryland, would you take the chance of eating the lettuce in that sandwich?
- George W. Bush: Why are you bringing this up? I mean you know I got tasters in the kitchen.
- Dick Cheney: If there was a one percent chance of you dying, sir, would you eat the lettuce in that sandwich?
- George W. Bush: One percent? No, probably not.
- Dick Cheney: Most people wouldn't, sir. And that's the dark side. The one percent chance of a nuclear attack, or an anthrax epidemic, or God help us, a smallpox outbreak. We'd have 200 million Americans dead on our hands.
