• La cuestión de si fuimos inducidos a error en la guerra de Irak no es una cuestión liberal o conservadora o republicana o demócrata, es una cuestión estadounidense. Proteger la democracia por la que pedimos a nuestros hijos e hijas que mueran es nuestra responsabilidad y nuestra confianza. Exigir responsabilidades a nuestros líderes es nuestro trabajo como ciudadanos. Es el estilo de vida estadounidense. Que triunfe la verdad.

• As far as Paris goes, we don't know for sure yet how these guys communicate among themselves and how they communicated back to the ISIS leadership in Iraq and Syria, but I'm fairly confident we're going to learn they used these encrypted communication applications that have commercial encryption and are extremely difficult for companies to break - and which the companies have made the decision not to produce a key for.

• One great lesson from history we need to keep on re-learning. It is that sometimes your adversaries tell you exactly what they're going to do. How many times did [Osama] bin Laden say prior to 9/11 that he was coming after the U.S.? ISIS made clear that when they established their caliphate in Iraq and Syria, they were coming after the United States too.

• No puede ser una lucha estadounidense. Y creo que lo que el presidente [Barack Obama] ha dicho constantemente -con lo que estoy de acuerdo- es que apoyaremos a aquellos que lleven la lucha al ISIS. Por eso tenemos tropas en Irak que están ayudando a entrenar y reforzar al ejército iraquí, por eso tenemos operadores especiales en Siria trabajando con los kurdos y los árabes, para que podamos apoyarles.

• He dicho que la invasión de Irak fue un error. Pero creo que si alguna vez vamos a abordar de verdad los problemas que plantea el terrorismo extremista yihadista, tenemos que entenderlo y darnos cuenta de que tiene antecedentes en lo que ocurrió en Irak y tenemos que seguir vigilantes al respecto.

• It just seems to me that the world's kind of a mess, and the more messy it gets, the more interested I am in escapist fare. Having a good time is something that isn't about the war in Iraq or the Asian flu or the Kyoto protocol - things that are horribly depressing to consider in our real lives. I'm eager to get away from them.

• Desde la aparición de la bomba atómica, Estados Unidos siempre ha necesitado dos tipos de enemigos. Por un lado, ha necesitado un enemigo táctico con el que poder salir a combatir sobre el terreno en una guerra de disparos. Desde 1945, estos enemigos se han creado y han aparecido como Corea del Norte, Vietnam del Norte, Granada, El Salvador, Panamá, Irak y ahora Colombia. En otro nivel, sin embargo, Estados Unidos necesita un enemigo estratégico que justifique los escandalosos gastos de capital en sistemas de armamento estratégico como los misiles balísticos intercontinentales, los submarinos Trident y los sistemas de defensa antimisiles de la "Guerra de las Galaxias".

• Look what happened with regard to our invasion into Afghanistan, how we apparently intentionally let bin Laden get away. That was done by the previous administration because they knew very well that if they would capture al Qaeda, there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq. There’s no question that the leader of the military operations of the U.S. called back our military, called them back from going after the head of al Qaeda.

• Our [Afghanistan] main problem is education. Over 90 percent of our population is uneducated. So what can you expect? The terrorists come from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, saying the Quran says this, Quran says that, and the Afghans believe that because they speak Arabic, they think they know the language of Quran, and they know Islam better than us, let's follow them. So they simply follow them.
