I would immediately rejoin the Paris Accords and reassert U.S. leadership in the critical process of global diplomacy.

Our country desperately needs a president with a depth of global experience and an understanding of all the elements of our nation's power, from our economy and our diplomacy to the power of our ideals and our military, including its limitations.

In the military, we just don't leave fights.

It's like I learned in the military: the officers always ate last. When you're responsible for people, that's how it should be.

In America, public opinion is the leader.

To me I think leadership is activism. It's giving back to your community, it's investing in oneself, and you know women and children.

In man - in the history of mankind, this has happened many times, and occupation leaders hang on to the land that they're occupying. People fight to liberate their land. But in the end, the people's will is what achieves victory.

We are well aware from which countries and through which countries the terrorists are receiving support. In the immediate future I shall be calling upon the leaders of these states to put a stop to this kind of activity.
