Some people naturally have a sense of empathy and an understanding of how to bring their followers to do things. They become great politicians.

I have always held the view that decisive force should be used in addressing a military conflict. The reason is simple: Why wouldn't you, if you could?

I don't know that there is much the United States can do except work with the international community.

The bottom line in all of it is that, in life, it's all about people.

It remains our policy to change the regime until such time as the regime changes itself. So far, we cannot be sure that he is cooperating or he [Saddam Hussein] is acting in a way that could give us comfort, or should give the international community comfort, that he is giving up his weapons of mass destruction. He continues to give us statements that suggest he is not in possession of weapons of mass destruction when we know he is.

The best way to create a winning team is to train them, give them everything they need to get the job done and second, make sure they know what the job is and what the job will be. So you connect strategy to resources.

I am confident that we will find evidence that makes it clear he had weapons of mass destruction.
