The only way to Cuba is with the CIA.

In the United States today, the Declaration of Independence hangs on schoolroom walls, but foreign policy follows Machiavelli.

Let me remind you all that the first task of American foreign policy is to reduce threats to the United States.

The people of the United States will do anything for Latin America, except read about it.

The bottom line is this: Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy, with the wishes of a majority of its own citizens--and honor its own previous commitments--by accepting its legal borders. All Arab neighbors must pledge to honor Israel's right to live in peace under these conditions. The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories.

The National Security Council's real role is to coordinate the various activities of the government of the United States in the furtherance of American foreign policy.
