I will not accept a bad deal.

We want to sit down and have a very broad conversation with them about what types of strategies and capabilities can meet those objectives.

We haven't seen the kind of takeup from the other side that we'd like to see so far.

The only way to achieve real and lasting security is to resolve your differences through negotiation.

The United States continues to call upon Sudan and South Sudan to exercise maximum restraint and to reach a negotiated settlement to the outstanding issues between them.

We prefer dialogue.

We have always said that talks remain -- we remain willing to engage in talks with the Iranians.

We can't take no for an answer.

Agreeing on the need for the parties to return to the negotiating table.

I trust them to work toward a swift and smooth resolution of these outstanding contracts.

No change in the conditions out of which the disputes arose shall be made by the parties to the controversy, except by agreement of the parties.

I strongly encourage the two leaders to finalize and endorse the Basic Principles during their meeting with President Medvedev in Kazan.

We aim to settle these issues and sign the agreement in the very near future.

These terms are not negotiable.

This can be an important opportunity for the two sides to come together and to address -- take stock of where we are.

I very much feel as if both sides are trying to work through some difficult technical issues but are doing so in good faith.

We're looking forward to having constructive talks as well as a chance to relax and visit.

I firmly believe we can solve this problem diplomatically and will continue to work to do so.
