“We’re trying to explain how things are going, and they are going as they are going. Some things are going well and some things obviously are not going well. You’re going to have good days and bad days.” On the road to democracy, this “is one moment, and there will be other moments. And there will be good moments and there will be less good moments.”
So saith Donald Rumsfeld, during a Pentagon briefing on the American invasion of Iraq.
Which instantly brought to mind this old gem:
“What kind of a proof is a proof? A proof is a proof and when you have a good proof it’s because it’s proven.”
Jean Chretien
