Closing Guantanamo Bay Is Not A Military

The President Of The United States Is The Commander In Chief, And The People Who Work With Him At The National Security Council Are His Arm In Working With The Defense Department. And, Quite Frankly, They Have Responsibility For All Of The Government. We Are One Component Of The Government.

I Would Not Trade America's Position In The World - Our Ledger, Our Debts And Assets - For Any Country In The World. There Isn't A Country In The World Even Close To America.

I'm A Supporter Of Israel, Always Have Been.

I Think This Is The Biggest Lesson A President Or Any Of Us Who Has Responsibility To Govern Have To Learn: There Are Always Consequences To Actions That You Take. There Are Consequences To Inaction.

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.
