America's Civilian Institutions Of Diplomacy And Development

I'm A Big Advocate Of Drones.

In My Opinion, Any Future Defense Secretary Who Advises The President To Again Send A Big American Land Army Into Asia Or Into The Middle East Or Africa Should 'have His Head Examined,' As General Macarthur So Delicately Put It.

A Wild And Crazy Weekend Involves Sitting On The Front Porch, Smoking A Cigar, Reading A Book.

If Possible, To Be In A Position To Announce Who Is Going To Step In As The Interim Immediately. And If Possible, To Announce Who You're Going To Nominate To Replace That Person. For That To Be Somebody Of Impeccable Integrity And Reputation Disarms A Lot Of The Worst Criticism That It's Some Kind Of A Power Play. It's A Professional Approach To Replacing A Senior Official, Which Is Always Going To Get A Lot Of Attention.

I Think, On The Foreign Policy Side, That There Is A Need For Disruption. We've Had Three Administrations Follow A Pretty Consistent Policy Toward North Korea, And It Really Hasn't Gotten Us Anywhere.
