The U.S. appealed to the court, saying that, by law, the United States is immune to the charge of genocide, self-immunized, and the court accepted that, so the case proceeded against the other NATO powers, but not against the United States.
Noam ChomskyWe need someone with superb judgement in their own right because, yes, a president can hire the best advisors on Earth, but I guarantee you this: Five advisors will give five different opinions. And it is the president – and the president alone – who always makes the final call.

George W. BushThe issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.

Lyndon B. JohnsonOhio claims they are due a president as they haven’t had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln.
Will RogersI can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
