There Is No Bigger Judgment For A

We're In A Battle For Our Lives For Things That Really Matter To Us. There's A Shell Game Going On Like I've Never Seen Before.

I Accept That Friends Of Ours Have Decided That The President's Non-strike Has Somehow Impacted Perceptions Of Us. But I Believe They Are Dead Wrong And I Think The Critics Are Dead Wrong, And Here's Why. The President [barack Obama] Made His Decision To Strike. He Announced His Decision To Strike Publicly. And The Purpose Of The Strike Was To Get The Chemical Weapons Out Of Syria. That's The Purpose.

As A Public Person, I've Always Tried To Reflect What Is Embodied In Our Defining Ideals As A Nation About Equality And Fairness And Justice And So Forth.

Our Military Deserves Leadership That Matches Their Service And Patriotism. Getting Our Troops The Pay Raise They Deserve Is The Very Least We Can Do To Show How Much We Value Everything They Do For Us.

Let Me Just Say You Could End This Violence Within A Very Short Period Of Time, Have A Complete Ceasefire - Which Iran Could Control, Which Russia Could Control, Which Syria Could Control, And Which We And Our Coalition Friends Could Control - If One Man Would Merely Make It Known To The World That He Doesn't Have To Be Part Of The Long-term Future; He'll Help Manage Syria Out Of This Mess And Then Go Off Into The Sunset, As Most People Do After A Period Of Public Life. If He Were To Do That, Then You Could Stop The Violence And Quickly Move To Management.
