I Would Not Trade America's Position In

This Current Government In Iraq Has Never Fulfilled The Commitments It Made To Form A Unity Government With The Kurds, The Sunnis And The Shia. We Have Worked Hard With Them Within The Confines Of Our Ability To Do That But We Can't Dictate To Them.

I Believe, And Always Have, That America Must Engage - Not Retreat - In The World.

We Must Prepare For Everything.

I Am Fully Supportive Of 'open Service' And Committed To Lgbt Military Families.

There Are Always Consequences To Actions That You Take. There Are Consequences To Inaction. And Thinking Through, Asking The Questions, "well, Then What Happens? What Comes Next?" Is Critically Important.
