democratic far gone middle paradise thinking
We've gone too far in thinking we can re-create an American democratic paradise in the Middle East.
mistake thinking assad
I think those who have wanted regime [of Bashar Assad] change have made a mistake.
thinking defeat terrorism
I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.
thinking isis people
Still people want to topple [Bashar] Assad. And then there will be chaos, and I think ISIS will then be in charge of Syria.
mean thinking ideas
Whether or not regime change is a good idea or a bad idea. I don't think because I think the regime change was a bad idea it means that Hussein was necessarily a good idea.
crazy mistake thinking
I think it's a huge mistake. I think regime change in Syria, and this is what - I've been saying this for several years now. In 2013 when we first went in, I said, you are going to give arms to the allies of al Qaida, to radical jihadists? That's crazy.
war thinking bridges
I think when we think about the judgment of someone who might want World War III, we might think about someone who might shut down a bridge because they don't like their friends;
war believe thinking
I think that if you believe in regime change, you're mistaken. In 2013, we put 600 tons of weapons - us, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar - into the war against [Bashar] Assad. By pushing Assad back, we did create a safe space.
thinking records constitution
[Marco] Rubio says we should collect all Americans' records all of the time. The Constitution says otherwise. I think they're both wrong. I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.
thinking america race
I think there's a racial outcome to a lot of what goes in America, but I don't think race is always the reason.
mistake thinking isis
When we toppled [Muammar] Gadhafi in Libya, I think that was a mistake. I think ISIS grew stronger, we had a failed state, and we were more at risk.
believe thinking support
When you ask yourself, whoever you are, that think you're going to support Donald Trump, think, do you believe in the Constitution? Are you going to change the Constitution?
thinking russia want
I think if Russia is really an honest signatory to the chemical weapons ban, if Syria wants to be, ultimately someone has to be responsible for killing civilians. And that's the hard part out of this.
thinking korea soldier
I think the entire world knows, and North Korea knows, that if they used any weapons on our soldiers they would be obliterated. And it would be an overwhelming response.
