If I was asked to not admit I was an American in my service to my country, I would be pretty ticked off, quite honestly.
Every time the Russians come up to a red line and they are pushed back... we have not put too many brick walls in front of him.
President Clinton once said his greatest regret was inaction in Rwanda. And I think this generation will look back and say our greatest regret is inaction in Syria...
This is a bipartisan failure. This was a failure of the last Administration in stopping Russia from even being involved in Syria...
I supported the Administration going to Libya, and I said that that was not something that needed to come to Congress.
The military's prime job is not to be safe. It is to keep the American people safe.

We cannot let unemployment drive a resurgence of terror on the Irish island.
I believe that any Brexit deal must protect the Good Friday Agreement and ensure that no hard border be constituted.
I support, you know, getting answers to questions. Here's the problem. When you say impeachment inquiry, that's - the end goal is impeachment, and that has a whole different meaning.
I think where the disagreement comes is not - first off, ISIS isn't defeated. I'm afraid they're reconstituting, as we speak, even just psychologically, they can call this a victory.
We're leaving. We're staying. The Kurds aren't great. The Kurds are fine.
I think one of the biggest and most important things is people need to be aware of that.
