Which is the real quote from Jay Garner, the retired general in charge of American efforts to rebuild Iraq?

A.) "The task ahead looms large, but it is our duty as Americans, just as it was in Japan, to rebuild. With our help, Iraq will become strong and free, a beacon of hope to the rest of the Middle East."

B.) "We ought to be beating our chests every day. We ought to look in a mirror and get proud and stick out our chests and suck in our bellies and say: 'Damn, we're Americans!’"

C.) "We kicked a little ass, we took some names. All that’s left now is to lift a little leg and mark our territory."

D.) "Damn. I knew we made a mess over here, but… damn."
