John F. Kerry: “This is the most important part of this hearing, as far as I am concerned, so I apologize for not being able to listen…”

I actually think that the Bush administration's foreign policy over the last four years has been, on many fronts, misguided and self-defeating, and I will continue to oppose these policies.

I apologize very much for being late. I expected to be on time, but I was meeting with some of the families, military families of kids who were in Iraq

I am troubled by the damage done to our image around the world; I am concerned by our loss of focus in fighting terrorism.

And the establishment of a Palestinian democracy will help to bring an end to the conflict in the Holy Land.
