More quotes by Chuck Hagel
Engagement is not appeasement. Engagement is not surrender.
Chuck Hagel
It is easy to get into war, not so easy to get out.
Chuck Hagel
In a general way, if one cannot attribute to the Jew the whole responsibility of the situation, economic, political, and social, by which Algeria is being strangled, it is no exaggeration to recognize him as morally guilty, for the great part of his rìle here, still more than elsewhere, has consisted in corrupting, degrading, and disintegrating.
Chuck Hagel
[Sheehan] deserves some consideration, and I think that should have been done right from the beginning.
Chuck Hagel
I took an oath of office to the Constitution, I didn't take an oath of office to my party or my president.
Chuck Hagel
If we have to continue to live under sequestration, it will have a maximum impact on our ability to fulfill the president's strategic guidance. We can't do it all. It's as simple as that, with the limitations of the budget as severe as they are. These deep, abrupt cuts have forced us to make decisions that are not in the interest of America.
Chuck Hagel
This current government in Iraq has never fulfilled the commitments it made to form a unity government with the Kurds, the Sunnis and the Shia. We have worked hard with them within the confines of our ability to do that but we can't dictate to them.
Chuck Hagel
The twenty first century will require a re-affirmation and re-definition of our alliances and international organisations.
Chuck Hagel
History has shown that a country most effectively speaks with one voice. When nationally elected officials work together, build consensus, and provide leadership, the American people will follow.
Chuck Hagel
No one individual vote, no one individual quote or no one individual statement defines me, my beliefs, or my record.
Chuck Hagel
The president of the United States is the commander in chief, and the people who work with him at the National Security Council are his arm in working with the Defense Department. And, quite frankly, they have responsibility for all of the government. We are one component of the government.
Chuck Hagel
I'm not sure leaders listen enough, especially to their people. And I've always thought in everything I've tried to do in my life, in the jobs I've had, is that if we can turn our transmitters off and our receivers on more often, we're better leaders and we know more of what is going on and therefore we can lead more effectively.
Chuck Hagel
No border that touches Israel is always secure.
Chuck Hagel
Well, let's go back to the original intent of Social Security. It is an insurance contract.
Chuck Hagel
Foreign policy is all about a universe of bad decisions, imperfect decisions every situation is different. The dynamics, the atmospherics, the people, the pressures, the geopolitical realities shift.
Chuck Hagel
I'm a supporter of Israel, always have been.
Chuck Hagel
Alliances and international organizations should be understood as opportunities for leadership and a means to expand our influence, not as constraints on our power.
Chuck Hagel
No one person leads alone - can't do it, it's impossible. It doesn't make any sense. You need a team.
Chuck Hagel
I would not trade America's position in the world - our ledger, our debts and assets - for any country in the world. There isn't a country in the world even close to America.
Chuck Hagel
The Israeli people must be free to live in peace and security.
