If Saddam Were To Be

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.

If It Had Been Our Intention To Take Iraq, If It Had Been Our Intention To Destroy The Country, If It Had Been Our Intention To Overrun The Country, We Could Have Done It Unopposed.

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.

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.

If We Invade Iraq And The Regime Is Very Close To Falling, I'm Very, Very Concerned That The Iraqis Will, In Fact, Use Weapons Of Mass Destruction.
