Iraq At One Time Was Actually A Functioning Government. It's A Real State. Afghanistan Is Not Iraq. It's Tribal. It's Got A Different - A Number Of Different Sects, Never Really Had A Solid Government There Running The Country On Any Kind Of A Continuing Basis. Well, To Rebuild The Nation Of Afghanistan Is Going To Be More Difficult Than Rebuilding The Nation Of Iraq.

On The Security Front, The United States Must Continue To Play A Leadership Role. There Simply Is Not Another Country In The World That Commands The Respect Or Has The Capabilities That We Do, And We Must Not Shrink From Our Responsibilities.

I Spend A Great Deal Of Time With The President. We Have A Very Close, Personal, Loyal Relationship. I'm Not, As They Say, A Potted Plant In These Meetings.

Republicans Have Been Accused Of Abandoning The Poor. It's The Other Way Around. They Never Vote For Us.
