Memorable 2003 quote regarding the US-Iraq war/occupation:

"The current Iraq war/occupation is based on lies... When you invade a nation without cause, that's not a 'war on terrorism'..., that's colonialism, that's imperialism... Look, while you guys were doing the Nasdaqs and the dot-coms, I was over in Iraq trying to get rid of Saddam Hussein... For that, I almost got killed... besides, I almost went to jail... So it didn't take a whole lot of courage for me to come out against this Iraq war, which I did right from the beginning, and I was studiously ignored...".

- Robert "Bob" Baer (CIA "black-ops"; officially: field officer in the CIA Directorate of Operations), who was previously stationed in the 1990s in the middle-east trying to capture Hussein as an individual, with the intention of having him tried in international court...
