Quotes about allies, page 2

The political tradition of ancient thought, filtered in Italy by Machiavelli, says one thing clearly: every prince needs allies, and the bigger the responsibility, the more allies he needs.

We are a country that has many friends, many allies, when we operate in the world, we operate with friends and allies that's been true for decades and if we wind up going to war in Iraq it will be true in Iraq.

Turkish Heritage Endures
Military milled protecting state
its 1991 Saddam Hussein is rattling
sabres in Kuwait controlling oil
after years of enduring this deadly
viper on the Turkish border supported
by military and financial aid and
diplomatic and moral support
from the Soviet Union, China, France,
and main ally the United States
tables are suddenly turned
Saddam is out Western Allies;
line up for the proverbial kill
so swiftly is American firepower
turned upon former allies; in this
neck of the woods where allegiances

Sneak a Peek Out the Window...First!
They would love to see their activities magnetized.
In neon lights,
If possible.
And when adverse attention,
To them is unexpectedly given...
The seek to apologize,
For deeds done they wish to hide.
Unfortunately...
A revenge they wish could be avoided,
And dismissed...
Has already been placed,
On the 'spirit-hit-list'.
And for those who believe their deeds...
Whether missed or not,
Should be forgiven, dropped and forgotten?
I wouldn't rush to the door,
When a stranger comes to knock.

Fallen Soldiers
In the long hard battle that never seems to end
I watched each of them fall
Soldiers
Commarades
Allies
D ear sweet friends
As I watched each of them fall I thought
'not another one, no it can't be true'
But what was more devastating
Was that I seemed to be the only one who missed & mourned you
Maybe you didn't fight hard enough
Maybe you just weren't that strong
Or maybe there were signs we didn't see
Maybe you were crying out for help all along
Worst though then watching my closes allies surrender

Two Rogues
Dim, grim, and silent as a ghost,
The sentry occupied his post,
To all the stirrings of the night
Alert of ear and sharp of sight.
A sudden something-sight or sound,
About, above, or underground,
He knew not what, nor where-ensued,
Thrilling the sleeping solitude.
The soldier cried: 'Halt! Who goes there?'
The answer came: 'Death-in the air.'
'Advance, Death-give the countersign,
Or perish if you cross that line!'
To change his tone Death thought it wise
Reminded him they 'd been allies
Against the Russ, the Frank, the Turk,
In many a bloody bit of work.
'In short,' said he, 'in every weather
We've soldiered, you and I, together.'
The sentry would not let him pass.
'Go back,' he growled, 'you tiresome ass

Do You Feel That You Are Quite Powerless
Do you feel that you are quite powerless for I often do feel that way
Your opinions not seen as important few pay heed when you have your say
Perhaps for you that's not a bad thing look at the state of the World we live in
Where the greatest spreaders of paranoia the most admirers do seem to win
George W Bush can retire on his fat pension with Laura his devoted wife
The man who won many admirers but who has destroyed many a life
He has followed his staunchest allies John Howard and Tony Blair into retirement and many too their praises do sing
They have started wars where a million have died and thousands of horrific injuries have suffered can one say that this is a good thing?
So why worry if your words do not hold weight if what you say to nothing does amount
Feel happy you are not like Bush and his allies their war dead too many to count
They enjoy life on their huge pensions but for their time what have they to show
Save they have caused so many to suffer and the numbers of their war dead does grow
Like mine your words may not hold much weight but for as long as to the spirit of the fair go you are true
Then you are an honourable person and credit in heaps you are due.

Inner Recognition Awakens Idyllic Nirvana Eternal
Inevitable reunion affords important, necessary encounter
Impetus reincarnate allies indivisible nexus evermore.
Imbrication - reciprocal approach - increases nobility ensuring
intimacy, - regenerative applause inspiring nectar enduring.
Instantaneous recall awakens inner neurones experiencing
idyll remembered as iteration's new edition.
Incredible Revelation, awesome, is now evident
in reality after implicit needs expressed
intuitively reveal awareness identifying Nirvana euphoric.
Inviolate renewal - affection/intelligence now eliminate

Imagination roused after impotent numbness expands
infinite recognition, allows interplay naturally eternal
intertwining rare ambiance, intensely nurtured empathy.
Interaction rescinds abuse, ignorance, neglect, egocentricity.

Iteration
Inscribed reunion affords important, necessary encounter -
inevitable rebirth attesting initiation, nascent energy,
infinite release as imprisoned needs emerge
intact, resurgence adding ineffable nova ethereal.
