More quotes by 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
Foreign policy will require a strategic agility that, whenever possible, gets ahead of problems, strengthens U.S. security and alliances, and promotes American interests and credibility.
Chuck Hagel
Desperate men do desperate things when you take hope away. And that's where the Palestinians are today.
Chuck Hagel
It is easy to get into war, not so easy to get out.
Chuck Hagel
No border that touches Israel is always secure.
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'm a supporter of Israel, always have been.
Chuck Hagel
Assad must go. He's lost the legitimacy to govern.
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
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.
Chuck Hagel
This is eventually how Syria will be resolved - through a political settlement.
Chuck Hagel
No one individual vote, no one individual quote or no one individual statement defines me, my beliefs, or my record.
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
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
Well, let's go back to the original intent of Social Security. It is an insurance contract.
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
I don't get into the book-telling business of conversations I have with the president. That's not my style, and I don't think that's a responsible thing to do.
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
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.
