Hillary Clinton looms over the Democratic Party like Evita from her balcony.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
The term 'disrupter' has become an accolade, like first-responder or something.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
The more Scott Walker campaigns, the more he proves he is not intellectually fit for the office he's seeking. He asserts innocent ignorance on matters he should by now know something about - a way of masking his apparent bigotry.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
In power politics, it's usually not enough to be liked. A nation has to be considered essential.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
The fact is that the United States does not need Israel. Our special relationship was not forged, as it was with Great Britain, in two world wars, not to mention a common language and, in significant respects, culture. It is based on warmth, emotion, shared values - and, not to be dismissed, a potent domestic lobby.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
The ability and willingness to keep two opposing views in mind at the same time are hallmarks of adulthood.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
I have come to the conclusion that Ben Carson is a bit nuts. I say that not because I disagree with him politically, but because he doesn't seem to know what the truth is.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
My father was raised in an orphanage, and my mother was an immigrant from Poland whose first childhood memory was of hunger. Somehow, despite all of that, I am called a member of the 'elite.' If so, I damned well earned it.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
I have written about cultural dislocation, and I understand the corrosive effect of diminished expectations.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
I am glad to see the Confederate battle flag gone from a place of honor at the South Carolina state capitol.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Large government is inevitably inefficient, but so, too, is large private enterprise.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Much worse than the unavoidable inefficiencies of large government is the failure to fund the government we need.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
When students and liberals initially occupied Tahrir Square, it looked like it might be a passing thing.
Quote by -Richard Engel
The U.S. presence and American missteps made ethnic violence in Iraq far worse than it would have been otherwise after Saddam Saddam Hussein's fall.
Quote by -Richard Engel
Foreigners who speak Arabic in the Middle East are often assumed to be working for the C.I.A. or Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad.
Quote by -Richard Engel
An Egyptian newspaper once publicly identified me as the C.I.A. station chief in Cairo. It seemed so stupid at the time. I was only 24, a little young to be a station chief, and, of course, I was never with the C.I.A.
Quote by -Richard Engel
After literally hundreds of firefights, Chosen Company became increasingly battle-hardened. And they also became increasingly suspicious of their Afghan counterparts, believing - with their lives on the line at the end of the day - that they could only truly rely on themselves.
Quote by -Richard Engel
The Taliban mostly attacks international and Afghan security forces. They rarely carry out attacks in markets.
Quote by -Richard Engel
For years, Lebanese have known that Palestinian camps like Nahr al-Barid and Ain al-Helwe - hopeless slums crowded with generations of disenfranchised Palestinian refugees who can't go home because of Israel, and can't work because of Lebanese laws - are awash with gunmen, criminals and, since the war in Iraq, al-Qaida inspired jihadists.
Quote by -Richard Engel
There are clearly many Egyptian free-thinkers and intellectuals - lots of wonderful Egyptian artists and architects and scientists.
Quote by -Richard Engel
The Syrian border town of Qa'im was the main gateway Islamic radicals used to go to Iraq. Syria became the passageway for extremists from Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and other Muslim nations to fight a jihad against American forces in Iraq.
Quote by -Richard Engel
In October 2008, American commandos launched a cross-border raid into Syria to capture an Islamic militant known as Abu Ghadiya. He was accused of being one of al Qaeda in Iraq's main smugglers of fighters and money between Iraq and Syria.
Quote by -Richard Engel
If democracy brings an undemocratic group to power, is that a victory for democracy?
Quote by -Richard Engel
Each time there is a conflict between Israel and Gaza, accusations fly over who started it, each side blaming the other.
Quote by -Richard Engel
Foreign aid projects have pumped billions of dollars into the Afghan economy.
Quote by -Richard Engel
The Israeli military believes it has destroyed all of Hamas's tunnels, or at least all the ones it knew about.
Quote by -Richard Engel
The dangers of an Afghan collapse are many: Afghan deaths, a loss of American prestige, a loss of NATO prestige, a moral blow to U.S. troops and veterans, a Taliban resurgence, huge setbacks for women, and greater power for Pakistan and Pakistani extremists.
Quote by -Richard Engel
Faced with the crippling sanctions, Iran could simply decide it is paying too high a cost to pursue its nuclear program and could opt for negotiations and reconciliation with the United States and other members of the international community. This is clearly the preferred option of American leaders.
Quote by -Richard Engel
A nuclear program has arguably worked as a deterrent for North Korea and other states - would Moammar Gadhafi have been deposed and summarily killed if Libya had had nuclear weapons? Iranians might not think so.
Quote by -Richard Engel
Afghanistan does have an air force: It has two C-130s. I saw one of them. It was nice, a gift from the United States. But two planes don't even make a Caribbean charter airline, let alone an air force for a country at war.
