“We must engage this war of radical Islam if our life depended on it. Because it does.”

...

“This ‘safe zone’ would create a stem a flow of refugees… Unlike during the surge in Iraq when Petraeus and Crocker had an effective politically strategy to match the military strategy.”

...

“We have isolated Israel, while bolding places like Iran.”

...

“The absence of leadership over the past six years has had a horrific consequences all across the globe.”

...

“In the past few years alone, I have visited Poland, Hungria, Estonia, Russia and Georgia…”

...

“It defies belief that the president would allow the ban on Iranian oil exports to be lifted. And also stand by while Russia blackmails an entire continent, all the while keeping the place of the band on America.”

...

“We don’t have the same as difficult decision that this White House is managing the decline and putting us in tough decisions for the future.”

...he may be worse than Bush himself. I hope he gets the Speakership. It would be a gift that would keep on giving.
