I have never seen a good organization where the standards weren't high.

The United States is still seen as the leader at the world that wants to be free.

Actually, there is no more important task for a leader than to pick people. To make sure you have the very best people working for you.

Let me blow that up for you again.

There are a lot of bigger issues we have to be worrying about with respect to our relationship to China, and the longer they drag out the situation, the more difficult it is to get this relationship back on track.

I think the Iranians are clearly determined to have a nuclear program. And we have to assume that with a nuclear program they have the capability and the will to create a nuclear weapon.

I have always held the view that decisive force should be used in addressing a military conflict. The reason is simple: Why wouldn't you, if you could?
