"The President has set a new course. He's replaced arrogance with vision and has the courage to take risks."

"I think political ideology and bullying some times replaced common sense and the judgment of career Foreign Service officers."

"I would like to see the State Department return to its dominant role, its rightful role, as it was under former great Secretaries like George Marshall and Dean Acheson."

"I think one of the goals for us is to ensure that that does not happen, that there is swift and certainty of punishment, and that exclusion is much more likely to occur."
