I was a member of the Armed Services Committee for 18 years. I spent a big chunk of my life studying national security issues and our role in the world.
I don't make promises, by and large, that I can't keep.
When there is cheating, the cheating needs to be called.
Sometimes people just don't understand the way that I work in politics.
Every time I go to Washington, I break out in a cold sweat. So I try not to spend too much time there.
I remember when the Egyptian ambassador to the United States stood in the Rose Garden and pledged Arab commitment to removing Saddam Hussein from Kuwait.
