They did an article in a major magazine, shortly after the war started. I think in '04. But they did an article which had me totally against the war in Iraq.
When people come back from war and combat and they see things that maybe a lot of the folks in this room have seen many times over, and you're strong and you can handle it, but a lot of people can't handle it.
We're running a war by politicians and we're running a war by political correctness as per that question [with ISIS].
I can only tell you this and I used to speak about it all the time, we have a Navy that hasn't been in this position since World War I.
We have an Army that hasn't been in this position since World War II, in terms of levels and in terms of readiness and in terms of everything else. We are not capable like we have to be.
When we have a world where you have ISIS chopping off heads, where you have - and, frankly, drowning people in steel cages, where you have wars and horrible, horrible sights all over, where you have so many bad things happening, this is like medieval times. We haven’t seen anything like this, the carnage all over the world.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, who voted for the war without knowing what she was doing, I would not have had our people in Iraq. Iraq was disaster.
Having said that, I`ve got to tell you, looking ahead, it`s like these storms coming in over the pacific that`s we feel in the press corps.Because you look at a campaign, which was a war on the media - that was at the heart of Donald Trump`s campaign, where if he banned certain outlets from coming to news conferences, every day he attacked the dishonest press, he pointed the finger, he called out reporter by name and attacked him.
I have a running war with the media. And they sort of made it sound like I had a feud with the intelligence community.
For [the corporate media president election campaign ] is a war, and for them nothing at all is out of bounds. This is a struggle for the survival of our nation, believe me. And this will be our last chance to save it on November 8th [2016], remember that.
Our Navy is now the smallest it's been since, believe or not, World War I. Don't worry. It's going to soon be the largest it's been.
When Donald Trump was first elected, there was a lot of fear of a trade war. They listened to Trump's rhetoric on the campaign. Oh, we're going to put a 45 percent tariff on China, a 35 percent tariff on Mexico. We haven't seen any of that.
It's clear now that Donald Trump and his administration doesn't want the start a trade war. What we are seeing is a very careful and meticulous review of all the tools they have available and to use those to start bringing cases against countries under existing law that they think are unfair.
For Americans, Poland has been a symbol of hope since the beginning of our nation. Polish heroes and American patriots fought side by side in our War of Independence and in many wars that followed. Our soldiers still serve together today in Afghanistan and Iraq, combatting the enemies of all civilization.For America's part, we have never given up on freedom and independence as the right and destiny of the Polish people, and we never, ever will.
One hundred years after the entry of American forces into World War I, the transatlantic bond between the United States and Europe is as strong as ever and maybe, in many ways, even stronger.
In July of 2004, I came out strongly against the war with Iraq, because it was going to destabilize the Middle East.
We have to have a strong law enforcement in America. So we do not go abroad in the search of war, we really are searching for peace, but it is peace through strength.
[Hillary Clinton] is the one who raised her hand for the war in Iraq and I'm the one who has been fighting it.
I will proudly promote our system of government and our way of life as the best in the world, just like we did in our campaign against communism during the Cold War.
I was totally against the war in Iraq, you can check Reuters, July of oh-four, I was against it, I said you are going to destabilize.
