More Quotes from Ken Bacon:
I can't psychoanalyze why (Iraqi President) Saddam Hussein does what he does, but I can tell you this, ... It's smart for him to stop attacking our planes because he was losing a lot of equipment. He was losing radars. He was losing missiles. And he was losing air defense guns. And he was losing command and control facilities. So, if he wants to hold on to his equipment, he should stop attacking the patrols.Ken Bacon

It's required sharp increases in pay and benefits, and I think those have been appropriate, particularly in light of the recruiting problems that we were having a year ago, and the quality of life problems that have been eliminated. And I think that we've worked -- that Secretary (William) Cohen and President Clinton have worked very hard to increase defense investment, as I said, by 40 percent, from 43 billion to 60 billion a year ... That, also, has been justified, and will help us be as strong and dominant in the 21st century as we are now.
