A terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event [will occur] somewhere in the Western world - it may be in the United States of America - that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event.

I'm a pretty serious Independent.

As I look at President Bush, I think he will ultimately be judged as a man of extremely high character.

Feith had achieved the reputation in some military circles as 'the dumbest . . . guy on the planet.'

Courage has to do with controlling fear and it seems to me that focus has a way of overcoming anxiety.

If terrorists succeeded in using a weapon of mass destruction against the U.S. or one of our allies, it would likely have catastrophic consequences for our cherished republican form of government.

The military infrastructure grew me. My faith in God is important, my belief in my country is important, my relationship to my family is important, the things that Mom and Dad tell you growing up are important.
