The media only report stupid or careless answers, not stupid or unfair questions.

Even the greatest of all strategists must occasionally take into account the presence of an enemy.

As a leader you set the tone for your entire team. Communicate your vision.

War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support.

The best leaders are those who break that mission down into the organization's constituent parts, so that everybody understands their role and how it all builds into the whole.

There's no doubt in my mind, though, that the Iraqi people would be better off with a different leader who did not waste their oil on weapons, as opposed to education, as opposed to healthcare, as opposed to food, as opposed to roads, as opposed to clean water. It is really sinful, a crime, what Saddam Hussein has done with the wealth of the Iraqi people over the last 30 years.

Nobody wants to be in a mediocre organization. You don't have the same energy flowing through.
