Pakistan always seems to have a lot of political complexities and political challenges. But Pakistan is important for a number of reasons. Primarily, it is a nuclear power. And if, in fact, al Qaeda and Taliban, which are in Pakistan and causing a lot of tragedies and deaths in Pakistan - if they would ever somehow have real influence and control of that government, then we [world] really have a problem.

I stand by all the misstatements that I've made

[The US is] naked, absolutely nude, to attack [by the Soviets].

I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.
