There were options, but this is the best option.

We have options for dealing with this, but there is one option we do not have, and that is the option of simply walking away.

we might not ever need to look at that option, but its one of our options.

We've got some options on offense. We'll run more option, bootleg and waggle, and we'll use fullback, tailback and quarterback as runners. With the quarterback running, we've got an extra threat from what we've had the last few years.

We need to do a round of funding now. Schmitz is not the only option -- we have lots of options. We are not by any means locked into anybody,

Some have argued we should wait, and that's an option. In my view, it's the riskiest of all options, because the longer we wait, the stronger and bolder Saddam Hussein will become.
