Quote Of The Moment #0063
I don't have any idea of what we're trying to do out here. I don't know what the [goal] is, and I don’t think our commanders do either. I feel deceived personally. I don't trust anything Rumsfeld says, and I think Wolfowitz is even dirtier. -- Staff Sgt. A.J. Dean
Update, 7/25/04: Apologies for not providing the link! Is fixed. A general tip, for future reference: copy a small selection of the quote onto your clipboard, browse on over to Google News, paste the selection into the search box (book-ending it with quotation marks), and fire away.

Do you have a source for that quote? -- Posted by: Robert on July 22, 2004 02:36 PM
I would say the website this quote came from is exactly "mainstream." Maybe that's why you didn't provide a link perhaps? -- Posted by: RLAmes on July 23, 2004 05:55 PM
I love how Eddie puts all these little anecdotal quotes on his website and tries to pass them off as official U.S. policy. fucking hilarious. I guess it must be inconceivable that a slobbering, lowly, enlisted man doesn't fully understand the politics of this war! And I say that with full respect to our soldiers, because I used to be one. I served six years in the military, and believe me, there are plenty of uneducated, oblivious enlisted guys in the military who only joined b/c they basically had nothing else to do. This staff sergeant Eddie has quoted here is undoubtedly one of them. Nice anecdote, Eddie. -- Posted by: Greg Taylor on April 4, 2005 11:17 AM
