“Iraq will not be defeated” in the war, Ambassador Mohsen Khalil told a news conference in Egypt. “Iraq has now already achieved victory – apart from some technicalities.”
Ah, those pesky “technicalities,” like having your army defeated and enemy tanks and troops roaming at will in your capital. . . .

UPDATE: Another reader says that this is the best quote of the war:
After bombing Saddam Hussein’s New Presidential Palace on Monday, the U.S. Army swept in and took inventory. Soldiers searched the vast complex by the river and marveled at what they saw.
“This used to be a nice place, they should make it like a Six Flags, or something,” said Spc. Robert Blake, 20, of State College, Pa., and the 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry.
Why choose? I think they go together very nicely.
