We should have been there shoulder to shoulder with our allies. Our concern is the instability of our government as an ally. We are playing again with national and global security matters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We're in danger of breaking our army and preventing our national leaders from having the flexibility to confront not just Iraq and Afghanistan, but crises around the globe.
This past year has been very turbulent for the Middle East, and my conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu strengthened my belief that we need to remain vigilant in our support of our critical ally.
We need to quit appeasing our adversaries, and we need to stand with our allies.
It is vital that the United States maintains open lines of communication with our allies. We must assure them of our commitment to eradicating global terrorism wherever it may reside or wherever it's given haven.
We have to remain vigilant, and we have to continue to take the fight to the terrorist.
We're not responsible for the domestic security of every one of our allies.
We shall listen, not lecture; learn, not threaten. We will enhance our safety by earning the respect of others and showing respect for them. In short, our foreign policy will rest on the traditional American values of restraint and empathy, not on military might.
Getting our military back on stable footing won't happen overnight. We must start this process now, since future engagements are likely and allies are scarce.
We have gutted our ability to detect the next attack. And I would not stand for that as president of the United States.
We're in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.
