Political Quotes

“As with anything, if you propose to resolve a situation, when you put the person in leadership, that gives credibility to the investigation, to the resolution. And clearly this government, this Secretary knew better than to put a low-level military person in charge of an investigation that would be so very, very important. And it goes back to what would be on your mind. How could you lead and not put in place the people who are needed to give credibility to a situation?

I am with you once again, gentlemen, that this country has to continue to show leadership.”
