Who said this? and when?

1988

Wrong date 1998 ( i know it was a typo) Why is he against the war now?

One of the "selling" points that "W" has used is that regime change in the region would foster more democracies. Apparently a cabinet member, in his memoirs, disagrees:

“It is naïve to think that if Saddam had fallen, he would necessarily have been replaced by a Jeffersonian in some sort of desert democracy where people read The Federalist Papers along with the Koran. Quite possibly, we would have wound up with Saddam by another name.”

Here's another chance:

Below are Four (4) Questions.......................Answer them Quickly and NO CHEATING!!

Don't take your time. Answer them immediately.

And NO Pencil or Paper!

OK? Let's find out just how Smart and Clever you really are.

Ready? GO!!!

First Question: You are participating in a race.You overtake the second person.What position are you in? (Don't look at the Answer yet!!)


Answer: If you answer that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

Try not to screw up in the next question.

To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question (You know you took too much time).

Second Question: If you overtake the last person, then you are...? (Don't look at the Answer yet!)


Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again.

Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?


Third Question: Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only

Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it.

Now add another 1000.

Now add 30.

Add another 1000.

Now add 20.

Now add another 1000.

Now add 10.

What is the total?

Did you get 5000? (Don't look at the Answer yet, unless you answered yes!)


The correct answer is actually 4100.

Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!

Today is definitely not your day!

Maybe you will get the last question right?


Mary's father has five daughters: Nana, Nene, Nini, Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Answer: Did you say Nunu? Nyny? Nane? NONO!...... Of course not.......... The fifth daughter's name is Mary. Read the question again

hmmm, in a multi-lap race this is possible but then the answer is indeterminate because everyone can lap the last person...

Using Modulo-n arithmetic yes, using Peano arithmetic no.

The first statement about Mary's father should be

"Mary's father had five and only five daughters."

First question:

"Answer: If you answer that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second! "

In a two person race on an oval track, you WOULD be FIRST (you lapped the second place runner), so the word "absolutely " is absolutely wrong

Yup, Clinton said those exact words, and as with most Democrats, what is OK for them is often not OK for a non-Democrat, unless they think it might serve thier interests, in which case it IS OK, but only if they think they can keep anyone from finding out that they have contradicted themselves, but if you do find out that they contradicted themselves, then they will just blame it on the "right-wing conspiracy" that is trying to undermine thier leftist agenda, and then will bring up some other unrelated issue to distract you, and then when you get led off on that tangient, YOU will be accused of changing the subject in order to avoid debating the "important issues" concerning "working Americans"....Now you're completely distracted from the original issue, aren't you?

Get the point? That's a favorite tactic of Bill and his cronies...That is not the first of his hypocrisies that has returned to haunt him, and it won't be the last. I'll be VERY surprised if you ever hear anything about this contradiction in the media. Every effort will be made to bury it or ignore it, just watch and see...

Allright!!!! Your challenge to that question is accepted. You get credit for that question

Here's some more questions. Just for fun. Enjoy

1. What do you put in a toaster?























The answer is bread. If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, "bread," go to question 2.






2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?























Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously stressed out and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate such as "Mad Magazine." However If you said, "water" then proceed to question three.














3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?






















Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," Well you may continue reading these questions ????? Dang..... If you said "glass," then go on to question four.












4. Twenty years ago, a plane is; flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Question - Where would you bury the survivors - East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?























Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors? If you said ANYTHING else, you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. ........ But, If you said, "You can't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question.














5. Without using a calculator:


You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?
























Answer: Oh, for heaven sake! It was YOU read the first line!!!

I am responding to my own post.

BOOOOOOOOO!!
