"I think it's a necessary evil, if you will. You hate to see young men have to go overseas and defend the country. But if we don't control certain situations, then we become too dependent upon foreign countries." -Jack Maley Calabasas"I think it's a necessary evil, if you will.

"I think it's what we have to do in order to be secure and safe around here as Americans-get back to what they've done to us-get rid of all the bad people in the world.

I think we've been over this kind of thing before. I'm also interested that Turkey and Saudi Arabia are willing to assist us in the war." -Jed Ireland Calabasas"I'm not excited about going to war, but I'm impressed the way the president has been handling it and I think there has to be a response for dictators-you can't allow them to have their way.
