The essence of leadership is building bonds of trust in your organization.

Don't bother people for help without first trying to solve the problem yourself.

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

It is the job of leaders to eliminate uncertainty.

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.

It's really not a number I'm terribly interested in.

So has the strategic decision been made to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction by the leadership in Baghdad? I think our judgment has to be clearly not.
