"I don't believe you have heard me or anyone else in our leadership talk about the presence of 1,000 bodies out there, or in fact how many have been recovered. You know we don't do body counts."

"Different people have different views as to how to handle things. I guess I'm so old I watched the Vietnam War, and the body counting, and never found it impressive."
