James Jeffrey: “What we got was a marginal product. It also does the job for 10 years of keeping them a year away from having a nuclear…”

If we do not play the kind of very costly and at times very difficult role that we play in the world, then you get a Syria; you get a law of the jungle in a very important area where you do have, as I said, five armies.

we would do everything short of military force to try to hold off a Turkish incursion or Turkish military action against them.

It is a good example of how we can succeed by, with, and through the international community and local partners, and it is a good model for the future.

I have no moral hesitation in asking other countries to do more and the American public to do less.
