“Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement”

The American people need to know the truth. The American people need to see the truth. In a democracy, letting the people know the truth is the essence of what it means to be free.

The Violence Against Women Act protects the lives of tens of thousands of domestic violence victims. But the U.S. must also support gender equality around the world, and that means acknowledging that some nations we consider to be our friends are no friends to women.

We are all different. Yet we are all God’s children. We are all united behind this country and the common cause of freedom, justice, fairness, and equality. That is what unites us.

I am very enamored with the free press, and I was part of it for a period of time.

The White House has embarked on a mission to convince the people of our country that Social Security is in dire need of drastic change in order to save it for all workers

Nothing is alarmist with Donald Trump because you don’t really know what he’s going to do.

If it’s racist, it’s racist. If it’s anti-Semitic, it’s anti-Semitic. If it’s anti-women, it’s anti-women. If it’s anti-immigrant, it’s anti-immigrant, and we need to really strengthen our language, so that it is clear and not mushy.

We have to be realistic about what we can achieve in Afghanistan. The notion that the United States can build a Western-style democracy there is a myth

I am sure that every one of my colleagues “Democrat, Republican, and Independent” agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.

In the early stages of a pregnancy, the Government cannot intervene with a woman’s right to choose. That is it, plain and simple. Guess what. We are not going to be big brother or sister, as the case may be. We are going to allow a woman, her doctor, and her God to make that decision.

Perhaps, one of our greatest challenges as a nation, as a people, as human beings making sure that our grandkids can live on this Earth.

For him (Ahmadinejad), Mutual Assured Destruction is not a deterrent, it is an inducement.

Let us not deceive ourselves: we must elect world peace or world destruction.

To accept the story of the Arab destruction of the library of Alexandria, one must explain how it is that so dramatic an event was unmentioned and unnoticed not only in the rich historical literature of medieval Islam.

You tell me over and over and over again, my friend, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.

All share complicity in the destruction of that much under-rated phenomenon called liberty.
