I think freedom means freedom for everybody.

I had other priorities in the sixties than military service.

The issue is that [Saddam] has chemical weapons.

As a former secretary of defense, I think Donald Rumsfeld is the best secretary of defense the United States has ever had.

The threat is there. It's very real and it's continuing. And what the Obama people are doing, in effect, is saying, well, we don't need those tough policies that we had. That says either they didn't work, which we know is not the case - they did work, they kept us safe for seven years - or that now somehow the threat's gone away. There's no longer a threat out there, we don't have to be as tough and aggressive as the Bush administration was.

I think Barack Obama is a one-term President.

Remember, success for a politician is 50% plus one. You don't have to have everybody on board.
