CASI Quiz: Nazi or Bush-Blair -- Who said what when?
[I'm still working on it. e.g. I'm looking for a Nazi quotation saying
that it was much better for the Czech or Polish people to be invaded than
suffer under their current government.]
Guess who said this, a German Nazi sometime between 1930 and 1945
or a US/UK politician sometime from 2000 onwards:
1) There's no telling how many wars it will take to
secure freedom in the homeland
2) We must wage a total war on terrorism
3) So total war is the demand of the hour.
4) We would not deserve to lead this nation if we tolerated to any degree
whatsoever any threat to the homeland.
5) Peace through victory!
6) We are fighting for our lives. If we lose it will mean the
end of our nation and our history. This war is a defensive
war. It was forced on us by our enemies.
7a) Often [the leadership] cannot reveal the
reasons for its actions without giving valuable
information to the enemy.
7b) Much of the evidence we have is intelligence
and highly sensitive. It is not possible without compromising
people or security to release precise details.
8) We wage a war to save civilization, itself. We did not seek it,
but we must fight it -- and we will prevail.
9) We feel no hatred against the Czech/Afghan people.
10) We would have nothing against Czecho-Slovakia/Iraq if, first, it had not
suppressed Germans/Kurds, and, second, if it was not intended as the
instrument of a future attack on Germany/America.
Upon us falls the task of preventing such an attack at all costs.
11) This is a battle with only one outcome: our victory not theirs.
