My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Some prostitute in his car. A better counter argument would be Max Mosely's "Nazi Orgy", but that was the situation rather than the fact he was paying for sex. Do you think the French would be interested that a politician had a libido? I doubt it.

An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings.

Where? In Swiss? Because some of you failed to know that Polanski was arrested in this country, and it is because your prosecutor was not good enough in paperwork that this paedophile escaped justice.
You blame the French for your own failures, as usual…
And when I see that DSK is bailed, I not sure that Polanski would have been convicted anyway.

"I've been in few famous last stands, lad, and they're butcher shops. That's what Blouse's leading you into, mark my words. What'll you lot do then? We've had a few scuffles, but that's not war. Think you'll be man enough to stand, when the metal meets the meat?"
"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
"Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"
