thinking significant i-can
I can't think of a time when we've had a region emerge as suddenly to become as strategically significant as the Caspian.
daughter mean gay
I think that freedom means freedom for everyone. As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish.
mean dark agency
We also have to work, though, sort of the dark side, if you will. We've got to spend time in the shadows in the intelligence world. A lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly, without any discussion, using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies... That's the world these folks operate in, and so it's going to be vital for us to use any means at our disposal, basically, to achieve our objective.
strong nsa important
That intelligence capability is enormously important to the United States, to our conduct of foreign policy, to defense matters, to economic matters. And I am a strong supporter of it.
thinking levels violence
[In response to the question "Do you think that you underestimated the insurgency's strength?"] I think so. I guess if I look back on it now, I don't think anybody anticipated the level of violence that we've encountered.
mean wrestling thinking
We live in a free society, and freedom means freedom for everybody. We shouldn't be able to choose and say, 'You get to live free and you don't.' That means people should be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to enter into. Like Joe (Lieberman), I'm also wrestling with the extent to which there ought to be legal sanction of those relationships. I think we ought to do everything we can to tolerate and accommodate whatever kind of relationships people want to enter into.
sex support president
I support the President's plan to amend the Constitution, banning same-sex marriage.
defense finest nations
Don Rumsfeld is the finest secretary of defense the nation has ever had.
thinking president president-obama
I think President Obama is going to be a one-term president.
military gay thinking
I think the decision that's been made with respect to allowing gays to serve openly in the military is a good one.
good-day bad-day thinking
I think it's fair to say you can't predict a straight line to victory. You know, there'll be good days and bad days along the way.
rights people hatred
The days of looking the other way while despotic regimes trample human rights, rob their nations' wealth, and then excuse their failings by feeding their people a steady diet of anti-Western hatred are over.
son leader hussein
How could any responsible leader have ignored the Iraqi threat? If we had not acted, Saddam Hussein and his sons would still be in power.
hatred unity prosperity
Europeans know that their great experiment in building peace, unity and prosperity cannot survive as a privileged enclave, surrounded on its outskirts by breeding grounds of hatred and fanaticism.
