fields, planted bombs in all his
major cities, he's got bombs in the military installations, in the
airports, and he's mined all the
government buildings. There's not much left for us to do, really." .Jay
Leno

confuse it with Iran." .Craig
Kilborn

with Iraq and it is sad when the
most powerful man on earth is yelling, 'I know you're there, pick up, pick
up." .Craig Kilborn

"President Bush spent the day calling names he couldn't pronounce in
countries he never knew existed." .Jay Leno

Camaroone, Chile, Angola and Syria,
Angola plays the best music when they put you on hold." .Craig Kilborn

like our allies." .Jay Leno

parts ... regular, premium and
unleaded." .Jay Leno

books on them?'" .Jay Leno

Baghdad vs. the Butcher of the
English language." .Jay Leno

democracy can exist in Iraq. They

war, and I'm thinking,

president, either." .David
Letterman

"In a speech earlier today President Bush said if Iraq gets rid of Saddam
Hussein, he will help the Iraqi

75 times by really big words."

word, of course he's fond of
it.'" .Conan O'Brien
