You don't put an animal in the corner without the animal striking back, you don't put a politician in the corner and without them expecting to strike back at you.

Sometimes people just don't understand the way that I work in politics.

Let me just suggest to everybody, and I hear - last February [2015], I said we needed to have people on the ground in a coalition with Europe and our allies. This is not going to get done just by working with the Sunnis. And it is not going to get done if we just embed a few people.

We need a dramatic improvement in the way we train people who get displaced.

I'm a change agent. And what we're beginning to see is a lot of the establish people, one more time, trying to stop me.

We've just let too many things happen. And now, try to turn around and fix it. Getting involved in a [Syria] civil war directly was never something I thought made sense.

In faith, I'm a believer in the do's - you know, love your neighbor, love your enemy. I don't spend a lot of time thinking on the don'ts 'cause I can't get the do's right.
