The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.

The Romans used to say that courage is not the only virtue, but it's the only one that makes the other virtues possible.

To subdivide this land into two unstable, insecure nations, to try to defend what is indefensible, is to invite disaster. Carving Judea and Samaria out of Israel means carving up Israel.

If I have to reduce all of the laws of war into a single sentence, it is this. You divide the world into two, combatants and noncombatants. You can attack deliberately combatants, but not deliberately noncombatants. Israel acts that way. It attacks combatants and accidentally kills noncombatants. But in the case of the terrorists, it's the exact opposite. They deliberately attack combatants - noncombatants, civilians, deliberately.

Hamas is responsible and Hamas will pay.
