The Obama administration has turned a blind eye to radical Islam since before they came to office.

That is not a good sign for America’s foreign policy Picture Quote #1

We’ve been in the nation-building business since World War I, and especially since WWII.

We lie by not telling you things...We don’t lie by telling you things that aren’t true Picture Quote #1

Without any intended hubris, I’ve lead a pretty exciting life. What I’ve tried to do in Mission Compromised is draw on those experiences to create a sense of excitement and realism within the story Picture Quote #1

What’s been happening in Iraq, what young Americans wearing flak jackets, helmets and flight suits have done is... created the circumstances under which Iraq can become our closest ally in that part of the world and still have a representative government.

We don’t need a head of state who guts our defenses and draws phony red lines with a pink crayon Picture Quote #1
