In a recent interview, General Norman Schwartzkof was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harboured and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America. His answer..."I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting.

If Saddam were to be replaced tomorrow he would probably be replaced with someone who's just as bad or worse than he is.

Success is sweet, but the secret is sweat.

It is God's job to forgive Osama Bin Laden. It is our job to arrange a face to face meeting.

If we invade Iraq and the regime is very close to falling, I'm very, very concerned that the Iraqis will, in fact, use weapons of mass destruction.

I may have made my reputation as a general in the Army and I'm very proud of that. But I've always felt that I was more than one-dimensional.

A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers.
