Sometimes what my analytical mind says to me is not what I'll do.

Don't let your ego get too close to your position, so that if your position gets shot down, your ego doesn't go with it.

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?

Our strategy in going after this army is very simple. First we are going to cut it off, and then we are going to kill it.

Always focus on the front windshield and not the review mirror.

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

Nobody has ever said in the United States government that we are going to war next month. No decision has been made by the president because, as he said to the United Nations, he wants the United Nations to live up to its responsibilities and he wants Saddam Hussein to cooperate.
