It's pretty clear we have enough Guard people in the United States, but are they capable of handling our oversees commitments as well? We need to figure out how that impacts our ability in Iraq.

If the United States had not intervened in Afghanistan, then obviously, we would have then allowed the attacks of 9/11 to go unanswered. I don't think most of Americans wanted that to happen.

But I also want to change the dynamics of this debate, which has kept us gridlocked into positions which caused people to shoot at abortion clinics and other Americans to view it as the only issue in American politics, ... There are areas we can agree on. ... We need to work together to eliminate abortion.

My patriotism and my conscience required me to support it and to engage in the debate over whether and how to fight it.

We should exhibit no self doubt to our friends, ... Credibility is a strategic asset.

The US does not involve itself in what is happening in the world's largest democracy, nor does it intend to do so.

Inexperience because of (President Barack) Obama's inexperience.Look that would be one of the challenges.
