  • They misunderestimated me.
  • We must focus on building an Iran that is capable of resisting Iranian influence.

  • The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein, and his willingness to terrorise himself.
  • For a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times.
