I opposed this war from the beginning - in part because I believed that giving this President the open-ended authority to invade Iraq would lead to the open-ended occupation we find ourselves in today.

We must also preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs.

As the U.S. redeploys from Iraq, we can recapture lost influence in the Middle East.

It is far too dangerous to have nuclear weapons in the hands of a radical theocracy.

Our job is to do more than lay out another road map; our job is to rebuild the road to real peace and lasting security throughout the region.

That effort begins with a clear and strong commitment to the security of Israel: our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy.

History has a terrible way of repeating itself.

The threat of violence is real. Our job is to renew the United States' efforts to help Israel achieve peace with its neighbors while remaining vigilant against those who do not share this vision.

Peace with security. That is the Israeli people's overriding wish.

I think the entire failure, not just restricted to Walter Reed, but overall, is scandalous. The fact that we have got veterans who are homeless and going through Dumpsters is scandalous.

My sense is that Mr. Geffen may have differences with the Clintons. That doesn't really have anything to do with our campaign.
