There are people who in large measure have information that we need . . . so that we can track down the weapons of mass destruction in that country.

Our goal is to defend the American people, and to eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and to liberate the Iraqi people.

Amidst all the clutter, beyond all the obstacles, aside from all the static, are the goals set. Put your head down, do the best job possible, let the flak pass, and work towards those goals.

To gain support in U.S. Congress and from other nations requires clarity, an acceptable mission and an explicit outcome.

The way to do well is to do well.

We have an orientation that tends to make us think that everything is our responsibility and that we should be doing this. It is the Iraqis' country, 28 million of them. They are perfectly capable of running that country.

When there happens to be a weapon of mass destruction suspect site in an area that we occupy and if people have time, they'll look at it.
