I Am Not A Professional Politician.

I Wouldn't Give Up On Russia, And With Oil At $90 A Barrel, They Can Refurbish Their Strategic Capabilities And Under An Authoritarian Regime, Those Nuclear Weapons Are Still There And In The Wrong Hands We Might Have A Problem Again.

If Iran Obtains Nuclear Weapons, Then Almost Certainly Saudi Arabia Will Do The Same, As Will Egypt, Turkey And Perhaps Others In The Region.

Every Country Has An Aspect To It That Rubs Up People The Wrong Way.

A Strong State Department To Me Means A Corps Of Career Officials Who Believe That Their Job Is To Advocate America's Interests And Who Are Trained In Effective Advocacy, Not Schooled In Accommodation.

I'm Not Running Around The World Looking For Ways To Create Hostilities.
