I'm going to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Leon Panetta
One of the principal qualities that you need as national security adviser is trust, the trust of the president. And that depends on truth and it depends on honesty.

The consequence could be that we would have an escalation that would take place that would not only involve many lives, but I think it could consume the Middle East in a confrontation and a conflict that we would regret.
Leon Panetta

Leon Panetta
The United States will do whatever we have to do to protect our forces.

Leon Panetta
In the zero-sum budget game, every dollar spent on this problem [illegal immigration] must be taken from somewhere else....No, we should not tolerate people immigrating illegally. But we need to treat this issue honestly and fairly.
Leon Panetta
I think what both Republicans and Democrats need to do and the leaders on both sides is to recognize that if sequester takes place, it would be disastrous for our national defense and very frankly for a lot of very important domestic programs. They have a responsibility to come together, find the money necessary to de-trigger sequester.
Leon Panetta
I think the primary message to the world is that the United States is going to remain the strongest military power in the world.
Leon Panetta
You don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on.
Leon Panetta
Red lines are kind of political arguments that are used to try to put people in a corner.
Leon Panetta
Rising sea levels, severe draughts, the melting of the polar caps, the more frequent and devastating natural disasters all raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
Leon Panetta
The one thing that I remember from all of my intelligence briefings and my dealings with the Russians is that when you deal with the Russians, you have to deal with them from strength, not from weakness.
Leon Panetta
I mean, the Taliban, my view is that they have been weakened.
Leon Panetta
There's no question that the main location of al Qaeda is in tribal areas of Pakistan.
