More quotes by Chuck Hagel
It's critically important that we have governments to work with, that we have entities to work with. President Hadi has been a good partner in that, and we would hope that the next set of leaders that govern Yemen will also take the same approach to cooperation with the United States.
Chuck Hagel
The recent wave of Taliban attacks has made clear that the international community must not waiver in its support for a stable, secure and prosperous Afghanistan.
Chuck Hagel
I don't think it's a matter of going back and having a review of our process. Our process is about as thorough as there can be. Is it imperfect? Yes. Is there risk? Yes, but we start with the fact that we have an American that's being held hostage and that American's life is in danger and that's where we start. And then we proceed from there.
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
Desperate men do desperate things when you take hope away. And that's where the Palestinians are today.

Well, let's go back to the original intent of Social Security. It is an insurance contract.
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
No one individual vote, no one individual quote or no one individual statement defines me, my beliefs, or my record.
Chuck Hagel
The Israeli people must be free to live in peace and security.
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
It is easy to get into war, not so easy to get out.
Chuck Hagel
[Sheehan] deserves some consideration, and I think that should have been done right from the beginning.
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
Engagement is not appeasement. Engagement is not surrender.
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
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
Peace comes through dealing with people. Peace doesn't come at the end of a bayonet or the end of a gun.
Chuck Hagel
This is eventually how Syria will be resolved - through a political settlement.
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
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.
