Brian, you are right. I made that statement, but now that I’ve stand with them a couple, three times. Its like your first day in the Senate. You say, ‘How did I get here,’ and then about six months later you say, ‘How the hell did the rest of them get here? I’ve got to tell you, after standing up with them, some of these people frighten me.’ 

On the three most important enemies of the United States:

We have no important enemies. What we need to do is to begin to deal with the rest of the world as equals, and we don’t do that. We spend more as a nation on defense than all the rest of the world put together.Who are we afraid of? Who are you afraid of, Brian? I’m not.

And Iraq has never been a threat to us. We invaded them. I mean, it is unbelievable. The military-industrial complex not only controls our government lock, stock and barrel but they control our culture.

On the other the candidates’ War positions:

They frighten me. When you have mainline candidates that turn around and say that there’s nothing off the table with respect to Iran. That’s code for using nukes.

On Joe Biden:

You have a certain arrogance.  You want to tell the Iraqis how to run their country. I gotta tell you, we should just plain get out.”

On the other Candidates:

I won’t hold there youth and inexperience against them.

On how to end the War:

We need to find another way, that’s where I would like to sit down with Pelosi and with Reid and I hope you other senators would focus on how do you get out? You pass a law not a resolution — a law making it a felony to stay there.
