What is postwar Iraq going to look like, with the Kurds and the Sunnis and the Shiites? That's a huge question, to my mind.
From Norman Schwarzkopf
I like to say I'm not a hero.
An awful lot has been written about my temper.
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.
I was lucky enough to lead a very successful war.
Good generalship is the realisation that you've got to figure out how to accomplish your mission with the minimum loss of human life.
True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that's what courage is.
You learn far more from negative leadership than from positive leadership. Because you learn how not to do it. And, therefore, you learn how to do it.
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.
I do not want to be a pawn in a political campaign.
