Obama is talking about our allies including EU and those in the East, and then answers a question about Israel.
Naturally his views are more important than the others'.
Biden: Biggest threats North Korea, Iran, and tendency for Putin to run in an authoritarian direction. Replace with prevention and talk and move in a direction to conduct change rather than "regime change."
Gravel: No important enemies. We need to deal with the rest of the world as equals. Who are we afraid of? Spend more money on defense than any other country in the world. Military industrial complex controls everything.
Edwards: Russia has moved from a democracy to an autocracy under Putin. How does America change its underlying dynamic in the world. The world must see the US available as a force for good.
Richardson: Would I would do is assess what our strategic issues are. Provides answers on what Russia would do, including promoting more democracy. Being a like our dictator isn't diplomacy. Talks about his forays in North Kora, Darfur (why aren't we talking about it).
Giuliani quotes about Democrats and "security."
Clinton: Worked on things to try to make us safer. There's a disconnect between the rhetoric and reality. Wants to put the myth to rest.
Dodd: It's a myth considering what the administration has done over the past six years. Talks about Iraq. Not building international support. Administration has walked away from that.
Stateless terrorism is a threat.
Global war on terra:
Kucinich: Global war on terra is a pretext to war. Talks about treaties and other agreements. President needs to not to think of the world as full of enemies.
Obama: Emergency response needed in natural and terraist disasters. Need good intelligence, intelligence on who may have carried it out in order to take out that network. We can't alienate the world community based on bombast, we need to talk to the international community. Can't fight terraism on our own.
Edwards: Make sure who was responsible and hold them responsible. How did this happen? Homeland security system not good in this country.
Clinton: We should quickly respond, but we shouldn't divert attention. Mentions bin Laden not having been found yet.
Wish I could write all of the comments. It's hard when it's live.
