fruitless hunt in an urban guerilla war to find the
most-secure dictator in the world? Whose life would
be on my hands as the commander-in-chief because I,
unilaterally, went beyond the international law, went
beyond the stated mission, and said we're going to show
our macho? We're going into Baghdad. We're going to be
an occupying power -- America in an Arab land
-- with no allies at our side. It would have been
disastrous."
