war believe iraq
I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and - you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows - (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday,
country jobs skills
This 21st century economy holds great promise for our people. But unless we give all Americans the skills they need to succeed, countries like India and China will take good-paying jobs that should be ours.
sorry military war
Do you know how I feel about that? I'm sure this is no big surprise... what a mistake. I should never have voted for that, but I accepted what [former Secretary of State] Colin Powell and the others said. But it took me just a matter of a few months to realize it was a bad mistake, and my record speaks for itself. I've spoken out against what was going on, not once, not twice, but lots of times. And I'm sorry that I was misled, but I was, and it was a mistake for me to vote for that war.
military blood iraq
As far as I'm concerned there shouldn't be a single boot on the ground. There's enough American blood in Iraq that lasts forever.
heritage republican hispanic
I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican.
terrorist
They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists.
horror-stories america news
Despite all that good news, there's plenty of horror stories being told. All of them are untrue, but they're being told all over America,
regret choices poor
I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words.
years pay return
He [Mitt Romney] didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain, but obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?
people nevada streets
People in Nevada know me from the street to the ring to the Senate chambers. I've never had to prove my manhood to anyone.
jobs important president
Some said he shouldn't save Detroit. But President Obama made the tough and right call to save more than a million American jobs in an important, iconic industry.
war stupid-liberal lost
This war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything.
trying holes found
We found ourselves in a hole that I didn't dig, but I have dug, dug and dug to try to get out of that hole.
fighting mass-destruction agreement
We stopped the fighting [in 1991] on an agreement that Iraq would take steps to assure the world that it would not engage in further aggression and that it would destroy its weapons of mass destruction. It has refused to take those steps. That refusal constitutes a breach of the armistice which renders it void and justifies resumption of the armed conflict.
