We need to force Iran to dismantle its nuclear program entirely or face the threat of military force to destroy that program.
I don’t do stairs. And I don’t do groups.
Inflammatory passion and selfish interest characterizes most men, whereas ambition characterizes men who pursue and hold national office. Such men rise from the people through a process of self-selection, since politics is a dirty business that discourages all but the most ambitious.
Are we fighting too many wars? And I would say no. We’re fighting one war. And it’s a war against radical Islamic Jihad.
Guantanamo Bay can be and has been visited repeatedly by the International Red Cross and other human-rights groups for observation in an open, regular, and transparent manner. Detainees receive the same medical care as the guard force and are able to participate in their daily prayer sessions.
I run a lot every morning.
Hillary Clinton exposed our nation’s most sensitive national security secrets to foreign adversaries.
It’s the job of the president to negotiate, but it’s the job of Congress to approve.
The nuclear deal with Iran is fundamentally flawed.
I learned one of the very important lessons in life in the 9/11 attacks. It’s good to have a plan for your future; it’s even better to write your plan in pencil.
Any deal that’s not approved by Congress won’t be accepted by Congress. Not now and certainly not in the future.
Hillary Clinton exposed our nation’s most sensitive national security secrets to foreign adversaries.
I’m not going to respond to every single thing that Donald Trump has to say or that Hillary Clinton says.
Islamic terrorists do not need an excuse to attack the United States. To attack us is what they do; they attack us for what we are.
Before the surge started, frankly, after I left Iraq towards the end of 2006, I was worried that we were losing the war. But after the surge, I felt that we succeeded.
Ambition characterizes and distinguishes national officeholders from other kinds of human beings.
My heart goes out, as does every American, when I see the videotape of Jason Rezaian and Amir Hekmati and Saeed Abedini coming back to their families.
If anything, we have an under-incarceration problem.
I think that the public debate that we had on the Iran deal was very important. That’s probably one of the most consequential things most of us will ever vote on ; a nuclear arms control agreement with a mortal enemy. And the White House – despite all their efforts – failed miserably.
The West has been calling for years for the forces of moderate Islam to stand up to the very small percentage but very large number of radical Muslims all around the world. When countries – the U.A.E. or Egypt or Jordan – do that, we need to highlight it, we need to celebrate it, and we need to continue to encourage it.
You never know what kind of challenges are going to be thrown in your way or opportunities will arise.
I’ve said all along: I’ll support the nominee, because we can’t afford another term of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy or, for that matter, economic policy at home.
The IAEA should be worried, as I am worried about it, because North Korea is now a nuclear power state with a ballistic missile program.
Today, few terrorist organizations still employ the ‘al-Qaeda model’ in which individuals travel to terrorist training camps overseas and then are deployed to the West to inflict atrocities.
We only have one president and one secretary of state, but our founding fathers very clearly insisted that Congress play a significant role in foreign policy.
If the Islamic State is losing, if they are defeated in Iraq and Syria, or in Libya, which is maybe their most dangerous and most well-developed cell today, then they won’t inspire nearly so many attacks.
If anything, we have an under-incarceration problem.
There are nothing but hardliners in Iran.
Actions have consequences.
I’ll tell you the truth, even in an election year, and that’s what people are ready for.
I do not take my obligations as a senator lightly.
No officer wants to be involved in a justified use of force proven unnecessary after the fact, any more than soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan wanted to make what proved to be the wrong decision in a shoot-don’t-shoot situation. Those decisions, even if justified, live with you forever, believe me.
Donald Trump may occasionally say things that are controversial or even objectionable to some, but those are words.
The military budget must reflect the threats we face, rather than the budget defining those threats.
The U.S.-Israel alliance is a core part of our strategic position in the Middle East.
The critical role of Congress in the adoption of international agreements was clearly laid out by our Founding Fathers in our Constitution. And it’s a principle upon which Democrats and Republicans have largely agreed.
Our goal is simple: to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
I have spoken to Donald Trump about this. He understands the dramatic budget cuts our military has faced.
In Arkansas, we believe in religious freedom.
Donald Trump, like most Americans, like most Republicans, believe in protecting America’s core national interests.
The nuclear deal with Iran is fundamentally flawed.
Fundamentally, we have to recognize that Iran is not a partner.
Waterboarding isn’t torture. We do waterboarding to our own soldiers in the military.
If men have easy access to divorce, many will choose it thoughtlessly. They may not gain true happiness with their new trophy wives, but they certainly will not slide into the material indigence and emotional misery that awaits most divorced women.
Two-thirds of the American people realize just how bad the nuclear deal is with Iran.
I decided early on, very early, that the best role I could play is to speak in my own voice, assume my own voice and my own ideas. Even if you support a candidate who ultimately wins, what you say and do is seen through the filter of that candidate.
Vladimir Putin is decisive. He’s committed to victory, and he now has aircraft and surface-to-air missiles and main battle tanks in Syria.
In my opinion the only problem with Guantanamo Bay is there are too many empty beds and cells there right now. We should be sending more terrorists there for further interrogation to keep this country safe.
The Iranian people, if you look at their demographics and their level of education, could be a strong source for stability in the Middle East. The problem is they’re run by an apocalyptic cult of ayatollahs.
Donald Trump may occasionally say things that are controversial or even objectionable to some, but those are words.
If men have easy access to divorce, many will choose it thoughtlessly. They may not gain true happiness with their new trophy wives, but they certainly will not slide into the material indigence and emotional misery that awaits most divorced women.
Law and order in our communities doesn’t arise spontaneously.
Early on, when my wife and I were dating, we went to the grocery store, and I told her that sometimes I just buy birthday cakes, and I eat them. And she said: ‘Really? I do, too.’
Guantanamo Bay can be and has been visited repeatedly by the International Red Cross and other human-rights groups for observation in an open, regular, and transparent manner. Detainees receive the same medical care as the guard force and are able to participate in their daily prayer sessions.
Given the devastation that crime can visit on families and communities, I will err on being a little too tough on crime than being too soft on crime.
