Michael T. Flynn

“I think what - I think what the American people is looking for is they are looking for moral and intellectual courage and clarity, and not a sense of passivity or confusion.”

“What he's really talking about - and I'm speaking for Mike Flynn, not Donald Trump - is that he's saying, essentially, we have to have options. We have to have a lot of options. And, frankly, we do. We do have a lot of options.”

“On military battlefields, we have defeated radical Islamic forces every time we have seriously gone after them, from Iraq to Afghanistan.”

“Tehran already has the largest inventory of ballistic missiles in the Middle East.”

“Every year, the State Department declares Iran to be the world's primary supporter of terror.”

“Because of Obama's ill-advised actions, the world has lost American leadership.”

“DCGS is hard to learn. It takes a long time. You have to use it all the time, which means it's not a simple technology that people are used to and can buy off the shelf today. And frankly, it doesn't do what it's touted to do. That's why you see units out on the battlefield asking for very similar things.”

“I am certain - I am deadly certain that we cannot win this war unless we are free to call our enemy by name: Radical Islamicists and failed tyrants.”

“I do believe - I very strongly believe that the Arab nations would be willing to put together an Arab NATO-like structure.”

“We want, certainly, the threats around the world, those that don't like our way of life, we want them to wonder what options we still have.”

“Obama has made incredibly poor decisions that have made us less safe.”

“The point is technology and innovation have advanced far past what DCGS is capable of doing. It's not an agile enough tool to be able to incorporate and integrate the most advanced technology that is on the shelf today that can be bought by our forces that frankly our war-fighting units want.”

“We should quit using phrases like 'turning points' and 'tipping points.' There's been multiple turning points, multiple tipping points.”

“What we achieved under General Petraeus up through 2011, and defeating this threat that we faced out there, I mean, once we decided to come out of there, we squandered an enormous opportunity that, frankly, the military did actually provide our nation and provided the Middle East.”

“The only way to clean up Chicago is to get rid of Capone.”

“One letter to bin Laden reveals that al Qaeda was working on chemical and biological weapons in Iran.”

“The world has lost faith in American leadership, and the threats are mounting.”

“I think ISIS is achieving the objectives that they have set out to achieve. I think that they feel probably very emboldened. They feel pretty good. Their resiliency is extraordinary.”

“You cannot defeat an enemy you do not admit exists.”

“I believe our inability to achieve victory stems mainly from having lost sight as a nation of what it means to win.”
