It's very personal in its politics, very bitter and very negative.

I think it's critical that we return national security issues to the center of the overall political debate in America.

The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.

You don't need to spend tens of millions of dollars on political consultants to tell you what you think when you already know what you think.

I have looked at public opinion polls in France in the late 1940s and early 1950s during the height of Marshall Plan aid. They had a very negative attitude towards the United States then. There were negative attitudes towards the United States because of Vietnam. There were negative attitudes about the United States when Reagan wanted to deploy intermediate range ballistic missiles. I don't think the president should base his foreign policy on American public opinion polls, let alone foreign public opinion polls.

There's no doubt that Iran funds and supplies Hamas with weapons.

The Iranian government is the government that supplied the arms on the Karin-A to the Palestinian Authority several years ago, they are the world's largest central banker for terrorism, if they thought it was in their interest to give a terrorist group a nuclear weapon to use against America or against Israel, I don't think they'd hesitate.
