I Consider Myself A Republican.

In My Opinion, Any Future Defense Secretary Who Advises The President To Again Send A Big American Land Army Into Asia Or Into The Middle East Or Africa Should 'have His Head Examined,' As General Macarthur So Delicately Put It.

I Think That Vladimir Putin Has Decided, In A Very Strategic Way, To Turn The Tables And Do Everything In His Power To, As We've Described Russian Elections As Illegitimate, To Try And Communicate To The Rest Of The World That Western Elections Are Illegitimate. And It's Not Just Us, We Know That Now. It's Germany, It's France, It's A Number Of Other Countries.

Things Have Gotten So Nasty In Washington.

America's Civilian Institutions Of Diplomacy And Development Have Been Chronically Undermanned And Underfunded For Far Too Long.

Even When I Was At Cia, I'd Go To Visit Foreign Leaders And I'd Say, 'you Know, I'm Not A Diplomat. I'm Just An Old Cia Guy'... I Said, 'if I Wanted To Be Diplomatic, I'd Have Been A Diplomat.'
