Well, what I've said is that the war in Iraq will always be clouded by how it began, which was a wrong premise, that there were in fact no weapons of nuclear - weapons of mass destruction.

One of my favorite little sayings is, 'To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.'

I've spent my entire adult life with the United States as a superpower and one that had no compunction about spending what it took to sustain that position. And it didn't have to look over its shoulder because our economy was so strong.

There's a lot of books out there about how you lead change in business, but I've certainly not seen any... on how you do that in public institutions.
