"I think we can only solve these problems if we have a relationship with countries, not if we break off relationships with these countries."

"We can engage, we can have a relationship with states but, at the same time, retain our rights on behalf of our own citizens."

"Wherever crimes are committed, wherever they happen in the world, especially against Americans, we ought to go get the outlaws."

"For that, I think it is quite understandable and quite proper that we move forward and speak on behalf of those Americans."
