Adam Smith actually said...

"I think one of the challenges of the Middle East is balancing our various interests there in terms of, you know, we certainly want stability, and we want to build relationships and have friends."

"We have some credibility issues in that region."

"If our position is we just can't know, no matter what we do, we can't know, you know I guess isn't the only policy choice at that point to just declare war and get it over with?"

"Our policy is to keep the crippling sanctions on them."
