"I think they do have to get it right in Sierra Leone. There has to be something in there now to establish confidence, to stabilize the situation, and then to move to some sort of political negotiations."

Confidence

Army

People

"I think there has to be greater heed paid by the Security Council members to military advice."

Advice

"You must first clearly see a thing in your mind before you can do it."

Visualization

Responsibility

Hate

"All of us who are convinced that our military needs all the support the government and public will provide are pleased that he will have his chance to do just that."

Government
