“Throughout our history, America’s confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation.

“So the point that I was making at the time was that the political dynamic [in Iraq] was the driving force between that sectarian violence.
