"For me it is no coincidence that the places where we face some of the greatest national security challenges are also places where governments deny basic human rights."

"I firmly believe that in this increasingly interconnected world, global leadership isn't a favor that we do for other countries, it is vital to our own strength."

"we do not seek a world in which we have to apply additional costs to the choices that have been made thus far."

"we have a responsibility to be engaged, and we are engaged."
