We pray that Saddam Hussein will see reason.

It is only justified when victory can be achieved.

Well, many Presidents have given the State of the Union message by post office--messengers, sent it up there. And I don't know that any of them have been done from the White House. But if I-- when I go to the Capitol--put it that way--I…

Stay tuned. Stay tuned. You get another one. You get one more. That was Sarah [Sarah McClendon, McClendon News]. Let's see, did you have one last time?

No, I'm staying with our objectives. And the violation of the Geneva conventions are clear, and we'll have to see how that works out. We'll have to see what a post-liberation Kuwait looks like there in Iraq. But our objectives remain the…

Well, there's a lot of activity going on right now trying to figure out what the best course of action is to clean this mess up, to stop this spill. Saddam Hussein continues to amaze the world. First he uses these Scud missiles that have…

Thank you, Ed, and I'm just delighted you're doing it. Big shoes to fill, and I'm glad you're taking it on. Persian Gulf Conflict Now, Helen [Helen Thomas, United Press International].
