I am worried that we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq.

You never use that unless you even intend to follow through, because you are the President of the United States.

I was just shocked by the last 5 minutes of what I have heard.

The United States is not serious. We are not serious about our red lines.

I am a big believer that when America retreats from the world, chaos ensues.

I think this is an extension of something that was coined a little bit ago, a year or 2 ago, the 'lead from behind' strategy.

As we continue to experience unacceptably slow economic growth, it will be important that we do not apply additional barriers from Washington.

Illinois is fighting its own issue with the area of fracking. We have, I would say, terrible leadership in the State of Illinois that is very slow to react to changing circumstances.

We need to support policies that encourage domestic job growth.

What would approval of these 20 remaining LNG export applications mean for the American economy? I believe that the answer is somewhat simple. It means American jobs.

What will exporting natural gas do to natural gas prices here at home because I fear that a skyrocket in domestic natural gas prices would, in fact, lead to a hurt in the manufacturing sector as energy prices skyrocket again.

The whole purpose of our policy today is to train and equip the Afghan army to be able to fend for itself.

I think when America retreats from the world, chaos ensues.

The very nature of the Iranian actions in Syria now suggest to me that they're very nervous about the Assad regime's long-term prospects.

A red line is to make it very clear; if you use chemical weapons against your own people, we will devastate your ability to use chemical weapons.

I feel like we have a red line that is supposed to be exactly that: A red line; a point you don't cross.

I feel like we're reacting to the situation.

You send a message to the Taliban and you say hey look, we are sending more troops, but just wait your turn.

I will tell you that Afghanistan in my mind, although U.S. interests are at stake, was a war that was fought out of frankly, I think, moral justification;

And what you saw when that happened was on a dime the war in Iraq turned.

You send a message to the Taliban and you say hey look, we are sending more troops, but just wait your turn.
