What I have also said is that, surprisingly enough, it turns out that in a situation that is as volatile and with as many players as there are inside of Syria, there aren't any silver bullets.

A military solution will not fix it, even if the United States participates.

We will help the Iraqis take back Ramadi.

If we as a society don't do more to expand opportunity to everybody who's willing to work for it, then we'll end up seeing conflicts between law enforcement and residents.

The last thing we need now is another war.

The longer Assad remains in power, the more deadly the situation becomes in Syria.

The argument that it's necessary to support and prop up Assad to avoid chaos and avoid violence is being refuted every day by the chaos and violence that is engulfing that country.

We need to come together behind a simple proposition that the Syrian President is waging a brutal, murderous campaign against his own people.

We're going to fight.

the war that has to be won

The United States is gravely concerned by the situation in South Kordofan and Blue Nile.

I am deeply saddened by the reported killing and wounding of Afghan civilians.

Because of you, we're now taking the fight to the Taliban instead of the Taliban bringing the fight to us.

Attacks against civilians must stop and Qaddafi must step down and depart Libya permanently.

we will sustain momentum against the Taliban

Muammar Qadhafi was provided a very clear message that a cease-fire must be implemented immediately.

An escalation of violence is not in anybody's interest.

I am not going to walk away from these fights.
