From last night's State of the Union:
"For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible, and no one can now doubt the word of America."
Ok so it's already been beaten to death by countless sites, pundits, and people in general that this would be a pretty good statement had it not been shown in recent months that the administration-provided reasons for the Iraq War was a total sham. Would've been quite a bit more believable for the rest of the world at least if he had said:
"For gunboat diplomacy to be effective, threats must be credible, and no one can now doubt the threat of America."
Amen.
