I believe waterboarding is torture and it is illegal.

I did not feel comfortable at the end of the day yesterday with the idea that I could vote for her because of the fact that I did not get answers to questions that I find very troubling.

I am really tired of bailing out water when the boat has got a hole in it a mile wide.

I would like to share some thoughts about the debate we are having on the Keystone Pipeline, climate change, and how the two intersect. The concept that climate change is real, I completely understand and accept. To the point of how much…

Defeat, degrade, and destroy ISIL, that should be the United States' goal?

But, somebody's going to have to take Mosul back, right? And we want it to be Iraqis.

To the American people, we're going to have some boots on the ground if we want to get this right.

The end game is, America's going to get attacked if we don't deal with the threat in Iraq and Syria.

How we find a peaceful resolution to the Iranian nuclear ambitions is the primary goal I share with you.

the hardest part of getting this war won, I believe, is just the patience--strategic patience that comes from investing in others.

So, we have to realize, politically, that an Iraqi politician has a different calculation than an American political leader, here.

We need arms to be able to stop anti---tank systems and antiaircraft systems to shoot down those airplanes.

If we don't replace sequestration, our capability to deal with the National security threats you've described is greatly diminished.

a line of defense for America is best achieved by having allies in the region.

I would like to help those young people, and in the process, not blow up the world.

At the end of the day, let's see what we do agree on. This is a generational struggle when it comes to radical Islam, Sunni, and Shi'a.

If you think sequestration is bad for the military, you ought to see what it does to our capability to engage the world peacefully.

It's time to put these guys on the run with a regional force that we complement.

The enemy is on the rise, and our capabilities are going down. Is that a correct assessment?

What I will not accept is the status quo, that it is okay to not go after these guys because it is not.

it's in our interest for Iraq to turn out well.

Congress is not going to let the French or Iranians tell us what to do.

One thing we should never allow to happen is for Iran to get a nuclear weapon.

I am advocating that America cannot sit on the sideline and let 300,000 Syrians get slaughtered because it is complicated.

I am not advocating 100,000 American troops on the ground in Syria, but I am advocating that the longer this problem goes, the more likely we are going to get hit here.
