It is a war zone, and it is a unified command, and it goes right up to him.

I do not believe that the United States has the responsibility for reconstruction. We want to participate in reconstruction. Other countries will want to participate in reconstruction.

We ought not have a situation where the coalition determines the mission, because then it stops everything, because there's always somebody who's not going to like it.

It's a terrorist state, and that's a problem. It's not a problem to the United States, it's a problem to the world.

We do indeed. I was hoping to come back to Senator Levin. He kept talking about us proceeding unilaterally and going it alone in the opening statement.

I believe that NATO... has the potential to bring a multinational approach to some problems in the world.

The conflict with Iraq is an integral part of the larger global war on terrorism.

We decided to get involved, which in my view was the right decision.

President Bush vowed that, on taking office, he would order 'an immediate, comprehensive review of our military--the structure of its forces, the state of its strategy, the priorities of its procurement.'

In the case of military activity, we can do that without unanimity.

I'm disappointed at the situation in NATO where they have refused to assist Turkey with planning.

the solution to proliferation can't be unilateral, it has to be a strong, fully enforced, agreed upon set of restrictions so that those kinds of weapons can be stopped and interdicted.
