He is neither a strategist nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general. Other than that he's a great military man.

As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man, I want you to know that.
I'm not a military strategist.
A good commander is benevolent and unconcerned with fame.
The Secretary of Defense is not a super General or Admiral. His task is to exercise civilian control over the Department for the Commander-in-Chief and the country.
Decisions! And a general, a commander in chief who has not got the quality of decision, then he is no good.
Only the man who disciplines himself strictly can stand for long the terrific pace of modern war.
No leader, however strong, can succeed at anything of national importance or significance unless he has the support and cooperation of the people he is tasked to lead and sworn to serve.
Genius, scholar, and war hero though he is, you have to admit - or maybe you should think about admitting - that George Bush might have rushed things a little in invading Iraq.
Nothing so comforts the military mind as the maxim of a great but dead general.
A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.
