I think it is very important in that regard.

It could be a lack of trust or lack of information.

If reporting is key, and I think we all believe that to be the case, and if we are not likely to solve this problem, absent a culture that allows reporting to occur more significantly, based on your own experience in dealing with your…

The special victims' counsel, in my mind, is one of a set of game-changing things that can help us in this area across the spectrum of issues related to sexual assault.

This issue of sexual assault in the military represents an existential threat to our core values

Aid done right promotes trade, lays the groundwork for trade.

The second question is, from any of you, probably the most significant policy change that is part of the President's development budget, foreign aid budget, is the food aid policy change.

I think we should try to give to our development agencies.

But if the financial assistance provided is wildly different among nations, that is a different kind of a trade barrier.

What is really going to happen... is that the power brokers and outside players... are politicking.

We need to get over the illusion that Pakistan is our friend. They are not.

I am not averse to the idea of the CIA exerting its influence through the use of money.

I do believe that we have no choice but to pick winners and losers in this election.

Congress absolutely does have the prerogative to set limits on the scope of the AUMF, who the enemy is, the duration, and the geographic scope.

Congress has to jealously guard its prerogative to commence hostilities and to decide against whom those hostilities will be commenced.

No one suggests handing the President a blank check to carry out the power to declare war.

To replace the AUMF would be risky and unwise at this time.
