We are not a hospital like O'Bleness.

O'Bleness is a hospital. We are supporters of that hospital.

Had Britain so insisted, Iraq after Saddam might have avoided the violence that may yet prove fatal to the entire enterprise.

I think the U.S. and ourselves are on the horns of an absolutely impossible dilemma.

We may have been the junior partner in the enterprise, but the ace up our sleeve was that America did not want to go it alone.

We're moving an aircraft carrier from the Caribbean to Gibraltar and we're putting a number of fighter and bomber aircraft on 48 hours notice, if the need should arise.

That was a powerful lever.
