Rex Tillerson: “My love of country and my patriotism is going to dictate that I serve no one's interest but that of the American people…”

The United States does not seek to fight the Syrian government or pro-Syrian government forces.

Our approach to human rights begins by acknowledging that American leadership requires moral clarity.

We will see the world for what it is, be honest with ourselves and the American people, follow the facts where they lead us, and hold ourselves and others accountable.

If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom.
