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

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.

We Live In A World Of Absolute Immediacy. It Is An Interconnected, Combustible World, Where Technology And Many Other Actions Have Given Nonstate Actors A Reach, Into Countries And Societies, For Both Good And Evil, That We Have Never Seen Before. So It Isn't A Matter Of Just State Versus State Challenges Or Conflict. The Bigger Problem Is Nonstate Actors.

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