I Am Sympathetic To Developing Countries’ Concerns:

If Russia Is There [in Syria] Alone Fighting Them [isil], Guess What? Russia Becomes The Target And Russia Starts Seeing - Who Knows - Manpads Will Find Their Way In There, Airplanes Will Fall Out Of The Sky. They Will Become Vilified. They'll Become The New Magnet, Together With Assad, For The Jihadis.

When I Was In Vietnam I Learned A Lot About The Promises That Soldiers Make To Each Other. The Marines Have A Promise To Never Leave Behind Their Dead. In This Country, As Citizen Soldiers, We Need To Make The Commitment To Each Other That We Will Never Leave Our Veterans Behind.

I Don't Want To Claim That God Is On Our Side. As Abraham Lincoln Told Us, I Want To Pray Humbly That We Are On God's Side.

Those Who Doubted Whether Iraq Or The World Would Be Better Off Without Saddam Hussein, And Those Who Believe Today That We Are Not Safer With His Capture, Don't Have The Judgment To Be President.

When We Walk Away From Global Warming, Kyoto, When We Are Irresponsibly Slow In Moving Toward Aids In Africa, When We Don't Advance And Live Up To Our Own Rhetoric And Standards, We Set A Terrible Message Of Duplicity And Hypocrisy.
