-"I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?" -"I can't remember. Is it good or bad when the American president starts talking like Conan the Barbarian? What is best in life to crush our enemies, to see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of the women. We love the lamentations, don't we, folks? They're lamenting more and more.
