An awful lot has been written about my temper.

Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.

When placed in command, take charge.

You can't help someone get up a hill without getting closer to the top yourself.

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.

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.

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