How much are we helping with that?

I think that the letter was ill-advised.

I guess, Ambassador Goldberg, you and I talked in my office about the many priorities and importance of our relationship with the Philippines.

This is the contribution Tom made most of all in the fight here in Congress to end torture, and I am forever grateful to him for that.

Tom understands that these principles, democracy and freedom, rule of law, human rights and dignity, these are not just ideas that we tilt at rhetorically.

Had I been President, I could imagine no one better for this important job than Tom Malinowski.

When Tom Malinowski asked me for my assistance and support for his nomination to be Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, I was pleased to offer it.

In that context, you coordinated with the class counsel, is that correct?

I hope you will give this issue a very high priority.

The new Prime Minister, Abe, is now committed to a significant increase in defense spending on the part of Japan.

Our priority is for those disputes to be resolved through negotiation and diplomacy.

The U.S. military and the Japan alliance is a cornerstone of peace and security in the region.

I think you and others like you are a great example of the fact that we are an exceptional nation.

I do not think there is anyone who would argue that the Iranians have proceeded undeterred from their pursuit of the ability to acquire and use nuclear weapons.

I think we could start there in terms of where we would seek to move the Russians.

I think with 100,000 people massacred, we are going to have to look at every option that we possibly can.

It authorizes him to use force. In fact, it gives him flexibility.

I hope you will look at her record of service in the United Nations. She spoke truth to power.

The failure of the U.N. Security Council--failure to respond in Syria a disgrace that history will judge harshly.

Well, again, I think that if you--if we are going to really be interested in the Afghan people and their rights, those are preconditions.

It is a travesty of justice when one is putting energy into convicting a deadman rather than finding out who is responsible for his murder.

I must say, the progress that you noted, Ambassador Nuland, is minuscule, as compared to what the Russians are doing.

I want you to say, a little bit, what you think we ought to be doing in Iraq, in light--in Syria--in light of the 100,000 people that have now been massacred.
