THE IMPORTANCE OF WORDS

"The bottom line is that the Syrian revolution changed something within Syrians, something that they have paid dearly for and that only they can give life to or declare it dead."   Malak Chabkoun, an independent Middle East researcher and writer based in the US. 



"The need for the formation of some new body dedicated to a credible and exhaustive inquiry of [Trump's] Russia Connection is clear. The most effective model, however, is not a 9/11 Commission-style outfit but something more mundane: a select congressional committee with a large and first-rate staff and a membership committed to getting answers."  February 28, 2017 | Susan Hennessey & Benjamin Wittes, Lawfare

"[On North Korea,] we need a policy, we need a program, we need a vision, and we need to make some very difficult decisions, particularly this year, because of the sort of threat that we have received from the North Koreans...So the clock is ticking.”  
February 25, 2017 | Evans J.R. Revere, Order from Chaos
