I Am Not A Professional Politician.

I Think The Russians Basically Don't Think The North Koreans And The Iranians Have The Capabilities To Get Weapon Systems That Can Threaten Them, Or That If They Do The Russians Know How To Handle Them And That That's The Reason That It's All The More Important That Russians Be Involved In The Sale Of High-end Conventional Weapons, The Bushehr Nuclear Reactor In The Case Of Russia And Iran, And Similar Kinds Of Relationships.

I Think It's Critical That We Return National Security Issues To The Center Of The Overall Political Debate In America.

Our Biggest National Security Crisis Is Barack Obama.

I've Been Surrounded By Some Of The Best Economic Minds In The Country, And Hopefully I've Absorbed Some Of That.

My Philosophy Is Not A Bean-counting, Accounting 'look At This.' It Is A Philosophy That Smaller Government Is Better Government, And Government That Is Closer To The People Is Best Of All.
