Direct Threats Require Decisive Action.

The Question In My Mind Is How Many Additional American Casualties Is Saddam Worth? And The Answer Is Not Very Damned Many.

Remember, Success For A Politician Is 50% Plus One. You Don't Have To Have Everybody On Board.

The Threat Is There. It's Very Real And It's Continuing. And What The Obama People Are Doing, In Effect, Is Saying, Well, We Don't Need Those Tough Policies That We Had. That Says Either They Didn't Work, Which We Know Is Not The Case - They Did Work, They Kept Us Safe For Seven Years - Or That Now Somehow The Threat's Gone Away. There's No Longer A Threat Out There, We Don't Have To Be As Tough And Aggressive As The Bush Administration Was.

We Live In A Free Society, And Freedom Means Freedom For Everybody. We Shouldn't Be Able To Choose And Say, 'you Get To Live Free And You Don't.' That Means People Should Be Free To Enter Into Any Kind Of Relationship They Want To Enter Into. Like Joe (lieberman), I'm Also Wrestling With The Extent To Which There Ought To Be Legal Sanction Of Those Relationships. I Think We Ought To Do Everything We Can To Tolerate And Accommodate Whatever Kind Of Relationships People Want To Enter Into.

One Of The Problems We Have As A Government Is Our Inability To Keep Secrets. And It Costs Us, In Terms Of Our Relationship With Other Governments, In Terms Of The Willingness Of Other Intelligence Services To Work With Us, In Terms Of Revealing Sources And Methods. And All Of Those Elements Enter Into Some Of These Leaks.
