We Are Safer If There Are Not

I Have Great Ambitions For When I Get Out Of Government. I Will Watch A Broader Range Of Stuff.

I Am A Team Player - And That Is What You Need To Be An Effective Point Guard. You Gotta See The Court, You Gotta Set Up The Play, And You Gotta Let Others Execute For The Most Part. I Don't Throw Elbows For The Sake Of Throwing Elbows, But If Somebody Throws One At Me And It's Necessary To Respond In Kind, I Suppose I Can If I Have To.

I Am Straight Forward; I Am Not Manipulative; I Am Not Two-faced. And I Think That That Has Served Me Well In All Of My Roles, Particularly As A Diplomat, Because People Knew If I Said Something, I Meant It. If I Said No, I Meant No, And If I Said We Could Make This Work, We Would Make It Work.

I Think Most Americans Understand That We Went Through A Period In Which American Leadership Was Judged Quite Critically Internationally.

I Think It's Very, Very Important That In Foreign Policy And National Security Decision Making, As In Any Other Realm, That There Be A Range Of Diversity That Reflects The Full Complexity Of America. We Should Draw On Those Experiences To Inform Our Decision Making.
