General Turgidson, when you instituted the Human Reliability Tests, you assured me there was no possibility of such a thing ever occurring. –Well, I, uh, don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.

Too important to be left to the generals

From: Dr. Strangelove

Do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war? –Uh, no, I don't think I do, sir, no. –He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought.

Greatest mass-murderer

From: Dr. Strangelove

I will not go down in history as the greatest mass-murderer since Adolph Hitler. –Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American People than with your image in the history books.
