"The problems in Iraq today are not the result of our Troops leaving too soon. Today's problems are the result of sending them in there in the first place"

6. You have quotation marks around the statement in your post, but no citation of who said it.

It's certainly a trenchant statement, and I totally agree with it, but I'd like to know if it comes from a public figure, whose words might carry more weight in the world beyond a random forum post.

12. I said it

pretty good, ha?

Anybody can use it without attribution.

That's why this is a public forum

13. Yes, it's very good. Very well said.

I just found the quotation marks confusing, since - strictly speaking - they are used when quoting another person. So, being an English major and unrepentant grammar nazi, I wondered who you were quoting.

Now, I can happily quote YOU as saying it!
