I am certain that I speak on behalf of my entire nation when I say: Today, we are all Americans. In grief, as in defiance.

The minute Mr. Putin decided to put his military forces in Syria, I went to see him. And I said, "Look, here's what I'm doing. I'm not intervening in Syria. But at the same time, if Syria tries to intervene with us, if Iran tries to use Syria to attack us, we'll stop it.

I think it's my responsibility, to speak up when something threatens our very future.

You can make peace with an enemy, if the enemy abandons the idea of destroying you. That is the critical test. Democracies fail to understand what I just said.

The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war.

I don't think that anyone should doubt Israel's determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.

I'm a proud member of the rabble.
