The only way you can be comfortable about Donald Trump's foreign policy, is to think he doesn't really mean anything he says.

Look, I think the notion that theres a dogma or doctrine of foreign policy that gives you a textbook recipe for how to react to all situations is really nonsense.

People seem to forget that Saddam was the only leader in the world who praised the attacks of 9/11 as a good thing.

I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq. Those who want to come and help are welcome. Those who come to interfere and destroy are not.

I think, in the longer view of things, there is a very powerful pull in the direction of participatory government.

For one thing I tend not to see myself in various moulds that people fit me into.

I think one has to say it's not just simply a matter of capturing people and holding them accountable, but removing the sanctuaries, removing the support systems...
