Peace Comes Through Dealing With

The Recent Wave Of Taliban Attacks Has Made Clear That The International Community Must Not Waiver In Its Support For A Stable, Secure And Prosperous Afghanistan.

This Current Government In Iraq Has Never Fulfilled The Commitments It Made To Form A Unity Government With The Kurds, The Sunnis And The Shia. We Have Worked Hard With Them Within The Confines Of Our Ability To Do That But We Can't Dictate To Them.

I Think This Is The Biggest Lesson A President Or Any Of Us Who Has Responsibility To Govern Have To Learn: There Are Always Consequences To Actions That You Take. There Are Consequences To Inaction.

Alliances And International Organizations Should Be Understood As Opportunities For Leadership And A Means To Expand Our Influence, Not As Constraints On Our Power.

Things Aren't Getting Better; They're Getting Worse. The White House Is Completely Disconnected From Reality. It's Like They're Just Making It Up As They Go Along. The Reality Is That We're Losing In Iraq.
