Nobody is asking for a precipitous withdrawal, but I do think that it has to be a measured but increased pressure and a diplomatic surge that includes Iran because if Maliki can tolerate as normal neighbor-to-neighbor relations in Iran…

I continue to believe that the original decision to go into Iraq was a massive strategic blunder.

We all share the same hopes for the future, and they're at the heart of the struggle for freedom and dignity and humanity that Dr. King began and that is our task to complete.

We may have different stories but we hold common hopes. We may not look the same and may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction.

What I oppose and will always oppose are trade deals to put the interests of Wall Street ahead of the interests of American workers. That's why I opposed NAFTA. That's why I voted against CAFTA. That's why it didn't make sense to normalize…

The U.S. needs to work with the International Criminal Court (ICC) to ramp up the pace of indictments of those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Had the reverend not retired and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have…
