I'm someone who believes the truth needs to be heard. And if I'm empowered with the truth, I'm not going to shut up.

I can train a monkey to wave an American flag. That does not make the monkey patriotic.

It is hard as an American to support the failure of American military operations in Iraq. Such failure will bring with it the death and wounding of many American service members, and many more Iraqis.

That we have collectively failed to halt and repudiate the war in Iraq makes us even worse than the Germans.

If you call yourself an American that means that you have embraced the constitution, because that is what an American is. A citizen of the United States of America is someone who has sworn an oath of allegiance to that document, to the words, to the ideals of that document. Right now we have citizens who don't even understand what that document is.

If you want to play the game of truth, I'll tell the truth, and the truth will burn.

I think the danger right now is that without effective inspections, without effective monitoring, Iraq can in a very short period of time measured in months, reconstitute chemical and biological weapons, long-range ballistic missiles to deliver these weapons, and even certain aspects of their nuclear weaponization program.
