How Do We Create Jobs For So Many Americans Who Are Feeling Pushed Out, Not Just Left Out, Pushed Out Of The Modern Economy. Obviously It's Skills And Education. But It's Also Jobs.

Great Nations Need Organizing Principles, And 'don't Do Stupid Stuff' Is Not An Organizing Principle.

There Is No Question In My Mind That If We Summon Our Resources, Both Our Leadership Resources And All Of The Tools At Our Disposal, Not Just Military Force, Which Should Be Used As A Last Resort, But Our Diplomacy, Our Development Aid, Law Enforcement, Sharing Of Intelligence In A Much More Open And Cooperative Way.

Remember That Movie Independence Day, Where Invaders Were Coming From Outer Space And The Whole World Was United Against The Invasion? Why Can't We Be United On Behalf Of Our Planet? And That's What I Want To Do.

I Have Said The Invasion Of Iraq Was A Mistake. But I Think If We're Ever Going To Really Tackle The Problems Posed By Jihadi Extreme Terrorism, We Need To Understand It And Realize That It Has Antecedents To What Happened In Iraq And We Have To Continue To Be Vigilant About It.
