“There has been a good deal of comment — some of it quite outlandish — about what our postwar requirements might be in Iraq. Some of the higher end predictions we have been hearing recently, such as the notion that it will take several hundred thousand U.S. troops to provide stability in post- Iraq, are wildly off the mark. It is hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and to secure the surrender of Saddam's security forces and his army — hard to imagine.” Has BeensWarEndsHardMightForceDealsImagineSecurityHigherThousandHundredMarkArmyNotionIraqHearingSurrenderSecurePostsCommentStabilityTroopsRequirementsPredictionsSaddamOutlandishSecurity Forces Author:Paul Wolfowitz
“There's a false notion that success is a zero sum game. To win in our careers we have to give up family. To work hard we have to sacrifice sleep. To accomplish we must take (or borrow or steal) from somewhere else in our lives. It's just not the case.” GivingHardGamesWinningSleepCareersCasesOur LivesSacrificeHard WorkGiving UpNotionAccomplishStealingZeroSomewhere ElseZero Sum Game Author:Maynard Webb
“I have always wanted to play different kinds of stuff, but it's hard, first to find good material, and then to change people's perception of you so they'll let you do it. I mean, I would really like to play a poet, but once they get this notion of you as a street guy, it's hard to change that.” PeopleFirstsKindMeanDifferentHardPlayWantedGuyStuffStreetsPoetMaterialsPerceptionNotionDifferent Kinds Author:Matt Dillon
