Blitz Count

Famous quotes containing the words blitz and/or count:

    Timothy Winters comes to school
    With eyes as wide as a football-pool,
    Ears like bombs and teeth like splinters:
    A blitz of a boy is Timothy Winters.
    Charles Causley (b. 1917)

    There’s no telling what might have happened to our defense budget if Saddam Hussein hadn’t invaded Kuwait that August and set everyone gearing up for World War II½. Can we count on Saddam Hussein to come along every year and resolve our defense-policy debates? Given the history of the Middle East, it’s possible.
