“The war in Iraq has been extremely divisive here at home, and has also divided the world community.”

Unquestionably, the world is better off without Saddam.

I think what we are confronting now is a new war of ideas. It’s not communism versus capitalism, but it is authoritarianism versus democracy and representative government.

Euphemisms, vague terminology or calls for discussions with Turkey to get at the truth are just some of the dodges Congress and the administration have used to avoid Turkish discomfort with its Ottoman past.

And if they’re not in existence, if this was yet another fabrication by the president, he needs to come clean about it.

That says, I think, a lot about where the president is coming from, but it was quite jarring given this was an attack on our democracy by a foreign power.

The U. S. trade deficit with China shows that while we value the potential of their market, they value the reality of our market. It is in this area that we should use our leverage.

The attorney general was supposed to have recused himself from anything involving Russia.

I think Hillary Clinton is right. I think it isn’t enough to leave [Bashir] Assad in place, because as long as he is there, there is going to be a recruiting magnet for ISIS.

We know that Russia was involved in hacking our democracy.

And I don’t think Director Comey ever adequately explained why he treated the Clinton investigation one way and the Trump investigation another.

In fact, the converse is true: At a time when the United States has been called on for a level of moral leadership, vision and inspiration not seen since World War II

Someone who is a retired judge or an acting judge willing to step down from their judgeship, someone ideally who has prosecutorial experience, but someone who could come in and give credibility to the Russia investigation that is severely in jeopardy.

We must either reduce the number of our engagements or increase the number of our troops.

And when they have done their job, America must look after and honor its veterans.

We should be worried about protecting the homeland.

It is now conventional wisdom that Americans do not care why we went to war in Iraq, that it is enough that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein.

I am a citizen of a country that has just undergone a thieved election, a country deeply and dangerously divided between rich and poor, but also between rich and middle class.

It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error.

It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error.

It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error.

It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills.

Because of the pot the water appears to be divided into two parts; because of the pot you seem to perceive an inside and an outside.
