From The Time I Was Twelve Years

When Placed In Command, Take Charge.

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.

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.

War Is A Profane Thing.

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.
