For a war correspondent to miss an invasion is like refusing a date with Lana Turner.

People say you favor assassination, what do you think war is? Except that it's assassination on a much larger scale, a much more horrific scale.

The fight, this war, this fight against the remnants of terrorism will go on for some time.

I think the International Criminal Court could be a threat to American security interests, because the prosecutor of the court has enormous discretion in going after war crimes. And the way the Statute of Rome is written, responsibility for war crimes can be taken all the way up the chain of command.

But the war on terror as I have repeatedly said in the past, and the Afghan people believe in it, in truth, is that the war on terror is not in the Afghan villages or homes. Its in the sanctuaries, it is in the training grounds, its in the motivation factors and the money that comes to it.

Politicians, like generals, have a tendency to fight the last war.

You should be careful what you wish for, as the reasons for war get confused. One person can be very clear in their motives, but others can have different agendas.

My grandfather was a general in the Nationalist Chinese Air Force during World War II, and I grew up hearing the pilot stories and seeing pictures of him in uniform.

I want to wage war against illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, unfair competition, communitarianism, delinquency.

The U.S. has since the end of World War II had an answer - we stand for free peoples and free markets, we are willing to support and defend them - we will sustain a balance of power that favors freedom.
