“War is failure! When you are at war, you have failed! When you have gone to a war of choice and lied about it, you're a double-triple, triple-quadruple failure!”

“The secret of success is to triple your rate of failure.”

“You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour and you will have war.”

“War is an absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to 'feel good' about themselves, or their country, is a measure of that failure.”

“War is always a failure. It means we’ve failed in diplomacy and we’ve failed in talking to one another.”

“You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war.' - To Neville Chamberlain”

“How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?”

“Any president can start a war, and use the chaos of disorder that such a war creates as an indefinite argument for prolonging it. It's a war that keeps on giving. Failure means it's even more necessary to keep failing.”

“Here's why I think there's something a little odd with George [Bush]. Because a lot of the times when he speaks, his words don't match his face. Something is askew. You can't talk about the war with a smile on your face. He does it constantly. If you're the President, you should go "We're going to talk about the war, I must have a frowny face." The only time you can smile when you're talking about the war in Iraq is when you go, "Well, two Iraqis walk into a bar, hahaha."”

“If you're doing your best, you won't have time to worry about failure.”
