, what that meant and how the united states was going to liberate kuwait. it took months, september, october, november, december. finally in january the war began. by the end of february it was over, kuwait had been liberated and i remember his words when that war started in january, 1991, he said "first we're going to cut it off and then we're going to kill it." he was so powerful, so smart, and such a wonderful human being. i'm sure, like so many other journalists who covered him, i'm very sad to hear the news that's now passed away, and my deepest, deepest condolences to his loving family and his friends, and as we say, may he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing. >> his contributions as a trailblazer, wolf, are going from as we just heard from general hertling unable to get housing on post at ft. benning because he was black to being the first black secretary of state, the first black chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. this is someone who cleared the road for so many behind him >> he certainly did. he was so strong in asserting the role he
