"The Columbia is lost, but the dreams that inspired its crew remain with us." ― Dick Cheney Topic(s): Dreams More From Dick Cheney "I believe that we were not as effective in the second term dealing with this issue of nuclear none proliferation as we had been during the first term when we stripped Libya and Iraq and A.Q. Khan and their capacity to proliferate nuclear technology." "It’s very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts, which was the way we did before 9/11, and then looking at 9/11 and saying, “This is not a criminal act,” not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan, kill 3,000 Americans, blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That’s an act of war." "It’s not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We’ve gotta cast the net broader than that. But I think it’s a – very special tribute that we all owe to the bravery and courage of the men and women in the intelligence and military business who performed so well to finally get it done."

The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality."― James A. Michener "I tell people I’m too stupid to know what’s impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true."― Debi Thomas
