In my judgement, when the United States says there will be serious consequences, and if there isn't serious consequences, it creates adverse consequences.

I served. And now it's time for the new man to serve. I have zero desire to be in the limelight.

First, let me make it very clear, poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill.

You cannot lead an alliance if you say you're going alone.

"Statesman" presumes I'm out there giving opinions all the time about things, and no, I'm not interested in opining on a lot of subjects.

The lesson of September the 11th is: Take threats before they fully materialize.

But we cannot allow weapons of mass destruction to fall into the hands of terrorists. I will not allow that to happen.
