More quotes by Richard Armitage
According to the United Nations Special Commission [UNSCOM], which carried out inspections in Iraq for the better part of a decade, Iraq possesses some 25,000 liters of anthrax. This is, for the record, more than 5 million teaspoons of anthrax. And we have no idea where any of it is. Saddam Hussein has never accounted for one grain of it.

I'm not a massive fan of 3D. I've seen some good 3D, and I've seen quite a lot of bad 3D. I think if a film is created for the shock effect of 3D, then it's a certain type of film that I'm not massively bothered about.

Adults will not necessarily laugh at the same thing as their children.

The development of weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to carry them would be a very destabilizing effect, should Iran be able to accomplish that.
Richard Armitage
Our President feels, and apparently many in the United Nations Security Council feel, that it is necessary to disarm Iraq before Iraq can again use weapons of mass destruction on her neighbors or she makes some liaison with terrorists who will use these weapons either against Iraq's neighbors or ourselves.
Richard Armitage
I think understanding or comprehension is probably the strongest emotion that you feel, or at least some kind of empathy.
Richard Armitage
Diplomacy is much more than just talking to your friends... You've got to talk to people who aren't our friends, and even people you dislike.
Richard Armitage
I think most conflicts do end with negotiated settlements some don't, but most do.

I value my ability to keep state secrets.

A terrorist is one who kills innocents for the pursuit of a political aim.

Do people really think that about my nose? I spent my whole life hating it, so its amusing that people like it!

I come from very conservative parents, and we weren't particularly wealthy, but we were comfortable.
Richard Armitage
You can spend a bit of yourself when you give yourself to a character. At the end of a job, you have to remind yourself who and what you are.

I would not suggest the U.S. should sit down with the North Koreans bilaterally immediately after they've fired missiles - because the appearance is that you reward bad behavior. But if North Korea behaves for some period of time, I would pretty much favor direct talks.
Richard Armitage
But finding these 16 warheads just raises a basic question: Where are the other 29,984? Because that is how many empty chemical warheads the U.N. Special Commission estimated he had - and he has never accounted for.

I'm the only honest person in Washington.

Well, the United States has said that the disarmament of Iraq is the top priority, but we have also noted that there are many other United Nations Security Council Resolutions which are on the books, including the necessity to respect the human rights of all the citizens of Iraq that we're very interested in.
