The problem is the people who tend to be the best organized are the most radical and the most vicious.

You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.

You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.

We know where they are [Iraq's weapons of mass destruction]. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.

We never believed that we'd just tumble over weapons of mass destruction in that country.

Listening to both sides does not necessarily bring about a correct judgment.

I tend over the years to have developed a certain hesitancy about believing that headlines tell the whole story.
