The press always wants to know how many people will be killed or how much it will cost, but the answers to those questions are not knowable.

Members of the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate are not there by accident. Each managed to get there for some reason. Learn what it was and you will know something important about them, about our country and about the American people.

If in doubt, move decisions up to the President.

Within a week, or a month, Saddam could give his WMD to al-Qaeda.

If there are people who yearn for the days when Saddam Hussein was in power, then I am not among them.

Make decisions about the President's personal security. He can overrule you, but don't ask him to be the one to counsel caution.

I don't do quagmires.
