I love Gerhard, ... We've talked to one another over the past 32 years. He's never expressed anything of the kind to me over that period of time.
There are going to be in the short term terrifying, confusing moments (like) attacks on Iraqi police headquarters. The intent (by the opposition) is to produce destabilization, to cause people to say let's get out of here, they don't like us.... I don't think the U.S. is going to cut and run.
We expected it to be a very difficult mission, and we met some people we believed were the outpost and we killed them,
We don't understand why a surveillance opportunity wasn't granted. If the Justice Department isn't at fault, then the process is at fault.
Every person who has gone to war has struggled with the question of, 'did he do it right?' and I have struggled with that question privately since February of 1969,
(We) went on and took fire where we expected this meeting to occur, and we returned very lethal fire. And when the firing was over, all we had was women and children that were dead.
We're $5 billion or $6 billion short of getting people trained to a level that would make me comfortable.
It is likely that the biggest contributor is popular culture. A show like 'Project Runway' brands Parsons all the time, and that has had an impact on the number of people who want to become fashion designers. It's been largely good for the school.
I saw women and children in front of us being hit and cut to pieces... After that night...I had become someone I did not recognize.
I think the Congress should begin to examine what they need to subpoena. They clearly need to get to the bottom of this.
I would not say 'impossible,' ... But, boy, it feels awfully close to it.
The cheapest gift I have to give is kindness, and it is the best.
It's not clear in the U.S. at the moment, either. We're going through another election.
The problem is you tend to look back and identify mistakes, and as a consequence of feeling terrible about mistakes you say you bungled this so bad, let's get out of here.
