RICHARD MYERS

Our intelligence is always imperfect.

A fair judicial system takes time to work.

The force that we went to war with after 9-11 was a force designed for the Cold War. We have much different needs today.

In order to have defense here at home, we have to have offense in Iraq and Iran.

Given time, given the number of prisoners now that we're interrogating, I'm confident that we're going to find weapons of mass destruction.

It is not helpful to have those kind of comments come out when we've got troops in combat.

When you get to the point where Baghdad is basically isolated, then what is the situation you have in the country? .. You have a country that Baghdad no longer controls; that whatever's happening inside Baghdad is almost irrelevant compared to what's going on in the rest of the country.

My point was simply that the war on global terrorism is going to be a long one, and we need to adapt as our enemy adapts.

Military force is not the first option, but it is there if needed.
