"It is critically important that the United States and its European partners stand united on the basis of our common efforts to protect our mutual security."

"It isn't a case of overthrowing, it is a case of returning to the goals of the revolution that both the contras and the Sandinistas fought for."

"We supported democracy in Nicaragua before, and we support democracy today."
