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

I don't consider myself dovish and I certainly don't consider myself hawkish. Maybe I would describe myself as owlishthat is wise enough to understand that you want to do everything possible to avoid war.

I prided myself on being unflappable even in the most chaotic of circumstances.

I am quite confident that in the foreseeable future armed conflict will not take the form of huge land armies facing each other across extended battle lines, as they did in World War I and World War II or, for that matter, as they would have if NATO had faced the Warsaw Pact on the field of battle.

Success is sweet, but the secret is sweat.
