John Kerry: “Let me say to my friend, if the funding is so jeopardized, as he suggested it is, then shame on us. Then we are not…”

I absolutely stand. On the day that that report came out we made it crystal clear, in a release that we put out, that that never took place.

People really do count on America for a lot of things in the world, and I think everyone should be extraordinarily proud of our history of doing things.

Would not it make a lot more sense if we were avoiding that damage in the first place, or minimizing it?

It is not fair for us to be reducing.
