Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for.

Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion.

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.

How do you fight someone who doesn't care if they get killed? You accommodate them.

I was lucky enough to lead a very successful war.

But I would defy anyone to go back over the years and tell me anyone whose career I've ruined, anyone whom I've driven out of the service, anyone I've fired from a job.

It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
