"This will be no war -- there will be a fairly brief and ruthless military intervention.... The president will give an order. [The attack] will be rapid, accurate and dazzling.... It will be greeted by the majority of the Iraqi people as an emancipation. And I say, bring it on."
(Christopher Hitchens, The fat Bozo of chamber pot intellectualism in a 1/28/03 debate-- cited in the Observer, 3/30/03)
