Peace Comes Through Dealing With People. Peace

[sheehan] Deserves Some Consideration, And I Think That Should Have Been Done Right From The Beginning.

If We Have To Continue To Live Under Sequestration, It Will Have A Maximum Impact On Our Ability To Fulfill The President's Strategic Guidance. We Can't Do It All. It's As Simple As That, With The Limitations Of The Budget As Severe As They Are. These Deep, Abrupt Cuts Have Forced Us To Make Decisions That Are Not In The Interest Of America.

It's Critically Important That We Have Governments To Work With, That We Have Entities To Work With. President Hadi Has Been A Good Partner In That, And We Would Hope That The Next Set Of Leaders That Govern Yemen Will Also Take The Same Approach To Cooperation With The United States.

If America Is To Succeed In Responding To These 21st Century Challenges, Our Political System Cannot Continue To Bog Down In The Mire Of Partisan Gamesmanship.

The Twenty First Century Will Require A Re-affirmation And Re-definition Of Our Alliances And International Organisations.
