More From Chuck Hagel

My father was a very contradictory man. i mean, most environmentalists in america in the 1950s - of which there were hardly any - were not... paratroopers. but my father was in the 82nd airborne, it was just like that.

While i now own more guns than the 82nd airborne, my first gun is still the most important gun i've ever owned.

During the writer's strike i was walking a line and ran into jack black and he said,'we're doing airborne 2!', and i asked, 'are you kidding?', and he said, 'yeah.' i like 'airborne,' its very pure.

So here's a question from one who believed, only a week ago, that baghdad might just collapse and that we might wake up one morning to find the baathist militia and the iraqi army gone and the americans walking down saadun street with their rifles over their shoulders. if the iraqis can still hold out against such overwhelming force in umm qasr for four days, if they can keep fighting in basra and nasiriyah – the latter a city that briefly rose in revolt against saddam's regime in 1991 – why should saddam's forces not keep fighting in baghdad?
Morning Successful Army
Baghdad fell on april 9, 2003, hussein and his regime were brought down, we declared "mission accomplished" and celebrated victory . . . and chaos erupted. we did not assert control and authority over the country, especially baghdad. we did not bring with us the capacity to impose our will. we did not take charge. and iraq did not in a few weeks magically transform itself into a stable nation with democratic leaders. instead a raging insurgency engulfed the country.

Love, whether it's friendship or more, is like a cup. it fills up drop by drop, until one last drop and the cup is full. the liquid hangs there almost above the rim, hangs there on surface tension alone and you know that one more drop and it will spill over.
