government iraq people
Had the United States and the United Kingdom gone on alone to capture Baghdad, under the provisions of the Geneva and Hague conventions we would have been considered occupying powers and therefore would have been responsible for all the costs of maintaining or restoring government, education and other services for the people of Iraq.
jobs years careers
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.
thinking great-love people
Well, unfortunately, I have always regretted the fact that I have a temper, but I also have, you know, have great love and respect for all of the people that have worked for me. I think like everything else, this is one of those things that has been blown out of proportion.
taken iraq cost
Had we taken all of Iraq, we would have been like a dinosaur in the tar pit - we would still be there, and we, not the United Nations, would be bearing the costs of that occupation.
tomorrow ifs saddam
If Saddam were to be replaced tomorrow he would probably be replaced with someone who's just as bad or worse than he is.
circumstances chaotic
I prided myself on being unflappable even in the most chaotic of circumstances.
fear war alive
Fear will keep you alive in a war. Fear will keep you alive in business. There's nothing wrong with fear.
jobs military forgiving
It is God's job to forgive Osama Bin Laden. It is our job to arrange a face to face meeting.
military winning mad
Choose to win Get mad, then get over it.
cancer normal proof
I am living proof that if you catch prostate cancer early, it can be reduced to a temporary inconvenience, and you can go back to a normal life.
sweet sweat secret
Success is sweet, but the secret is sweat.
wall war cutting
More than 200 ships from 13 nations conducted over 10,000 flawless intercepts, which formed a steel wall around the waters leading to Iraq. And these operations continue today. Thanks to these superb efferts not one cargo hold, not one crate, not even one pallet of seaborne contraband even touched Saddam Hussein's shores. The result: Iraq lost 90% of its imports, 100% of its exports, and had its gross national product cut in half.
giving people leader
To be an effective leader, you have to have a manipulative streak - you have to figure out the people working for you and give each tasks that will take advantage of his strength.
leadership want saws
I have seen competent leaders who stood in front of a platoon and all they saw was a platoon. But great leaders stand in front of a platoon and see it as 44 individuals, each of whom has aspirations, each of who wants to live, each of whom wants to do good.
