All Men Make Mistakes, But

I Have Left The Obvious, Essential Fact To This Point, Namely, That It Is The Russian Armies Who Have Done The Main Work In Tearing The Guts Out Of The German Army. In The Air And On The Oceans We Could Maintain Our Place, But There Was No Force In The World Which Could Have Been Called Into Being, Except After Several More Years, That Would Have Been Able To Maul And Break The German Army Unless It Had Been Subjected To The Terrible Slaughter And Manhandling That Has Fallen To It Through The Strength Of The Russian Soviet Armies.

When Iraq Becomes Strong Enough In Our Opinion To Stand Alone, We Shall Be In A Position To State That Our Task Has Been Fulfilled, And That Iraq Is An Independent Sovereign State. But This Cannot Be Said While We Are Forced Year After Year To Spend Very Large Sums Of Money On Helping The Iraqi Government To Defend Itself And Maintain Order.

It Seems To Me That The Moment Has Come When The Question Of Bombing Of German Cities Simply For The Sake Of Increasing The Terror, Though Under Other Pretexts, Should Be Reviewed...i Feel The Need For More Precise Concentration Upon Military Objectives, Such As Oil And Communications Behind The Immediate Battle-zone, Rather Than On Mere Acts Of Terror And Wanton Destruction, However Impressive.

If You Don't Take Change By The Hand, It Will Take You By The Throat.

The Vistas Of Possibility Are Only Limited By The Shortness Of Life.
