“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

“If you hit somebody hard enough, they will give up. You can feel their body go limp and they'll just surrender. So every time I hit somebody, the goal is to knock myself out.

“You think because you face situations not of your making that you exercise no choice? That you are helpless? To the contrary, child. Your whole life has been full of choices. Hiding from a hard truth is a choice. Surrender - even to the inevitable - is a choice. Even in death there is a choice. You may have no control over the time or manner of your death, but you can choose how you face it.” ThinkingMayChildrenHas BeensHardWholeFacesChoicesSituationExerciseTruth IsContraryWhole LifeSurrenderInevitableHidingHelplessHard Truths Author:C.
