Peter King Quotations

And if the imam and the Muslim leadership in that community is so intent on building bridges, then they should voluntarily move the mosque away from ground zero and move it whether it's uptown or somewhere else, but move it away from that area, the same as the pope directed the Carmelite nuns to move a convent away from Auschwitz.

The Muslims have, as everyone else says, the right to practice their religion and they have the right to construct a mosque at ground zero if they wish. What I am saying, though, is that they should listen to public opinion, they should listen to the deep wounds and anguish that this is causing to so many good people.

The president's dream of a worldwide liberal utopia is going to undermine the security of the United States.

I support mosques, obviously. We need churches, temples, mosques. Whatever people use to speak with their god or to receive spiritual inspiration is good for the country. But the symbolism of it at ground zero, within two blocks or three blocks, I believe is wrong.

We can't gather the intelligence we need to foil future attacks, if we are blindly granting terrorists the right to remain silent. But for some reason, we've already done that - with the terrorist who tried to bring down Flight 253.

There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam. We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we can infiltrate them.

My legislation would cut off all funding for trials of anyone from Guantanamo in any court in the United States of America. This bill would help stop the misguided plan to put Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 terrorists on trial in Downtown Manhattan.

If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the I.R.A. for it.

As far as Iraq, the important thing is that the Taliban is gone in Afghanistan, three-quarters of the al-Qaida leadership is either dead or in jail, and we now have Saudi Arabia working with us, Pakistan working with us.

I don't know anyone at the highest levels who approved Abu Ghraib. If President Barack Obama for a moment thought that somebody at a high level had approved it, he would go after them.

I think if we're going to live in this - in this world - in this technological world where information can be disseminated so quickly, we have to be serious and take firm, strong action against those who are putting American lives at risk. Because this will put people's lives at risk.

Just several years ago, Shaykh Kabbani, who is the head of the Islamic Supreme Council of America, when he was speaking at the State Department, said that more than 80 percent of the mosques were controlled by extremists. And from all I've seen over the last four or five years, the situation has even gotten worse.

The Democrats in the Senate adopted a resolution, an amendment, saying that there should be no Guantanamo detainees brought into this country. So, more and more, we're finding the American people on one side, the ACLU and the troglodytes from the New York Times on the other, where they belong.

Every soldier, every cop who's faced with a decision to make, a life or death, does the best he or she can,

My brother-in-law was building houses down here. He floated me the loan for my first house. It was a duplex. It was actually in Taunton, right across the street from Raynham,

We can't have Homeland Security publicly downplaying the danger of the threat while privately tipping off their friends,

There is a very serious question as to why the records are not going to be maintained on American soil subject to American jurisdiction.

WikiLeaks presents a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States.

We thought it was bad policy and bad politics, and I guess they accepted our argument. There's no need to antagonize organized labor,

The party has to be rebuilt on all levels, ... In a way, maybe it's to be expected when you've had a governor in office for 12 years and he and his people are stepping down.

What purpose could have been served by publicly questioning the decision of a local police department, especially one which has an outstanding track record?

Consumers worldwide are embracing the digital home. Further waves of new technologies and emerging digital product segments will support significant revenue growth for years to come.

Right now we should all put our guns away and allow Newt and the leadership to negotiate with the president.

Now John Kerry voted for the war and now he says that he would still vote for the war, so what's the difference?

... This is too serious a game to be playing to continue to be strung out by Saddam Hussein.

As we survey the fall shopping season, we are very pleased to see that this market study indicates such an impressive level of comfort and independence for men as well-informed and active shoppers, and for the retailers who cater to them in the men's retail marketplace.

It raises very real questions as to why (Homeland Security) is discounting something at the same time some are sending out private e-mails warning people, and the fact that DHS was still not really a major player in the process.

It's going to be a long process and we have to fight it each step of the way.

It has to do with a country that has had unusually close ties to terrorism, and it is a risk we just cannot take.

It has to be a weapon held in reserve to ensure there is a real investigation.

If he is going to criticize the president, he should say what he would do differently and not just make general statements,

I'd rather have someone who spent his adult life in New York.

He can have that debate with Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer. They thought it was important enough to vote for it.

The main problem in obstructing the relief operation - it's almost like a Mogadishu-like gang situation that's prevailing in New Orleans.

If we have another 2,000 people killed, I want Nancy Pelosi and George Soros, John Conyers and Pat Leahy to go to the funeral and say, 'Your son was vaporized because we didn't want to dump some guy's head under water for 30 seconds.'

Again, we saw in Bosnia - we had U.N. peacekeepers tied to trees, being taken hostage. The fact is they don't have the type of deliberate and authoritative rule that I think is needed to get the job done.

The British government is a murder machine,

Well take care of the counting.

Ask Bill Clinton about Yasir Arafat. Clinton and Barak did everything they could in 2000 at Camp David. Arafat walked away from it.

The importance of command leadership. Clear objective and strategy and loyalty to those reporting to you.

There is an obligation both moral, but also legal, I believe, against a reporter disclosing something which would so severely compromise national security.

The president should stop apologizing, stop being defensive. The reality is the NSA has saved thousands of lives not just in the United States but in France, Germany and throughout Europe.

As a devastating series of attacks rock America's oldest ally, the nation that stood by us after 9/11 that gifted us the Statue of Liberty. France on November 13, 2015 fell victims to the worst terror attack in its history.

We are a nation at war - and we should act like it.

We have too many mosques in America.

I so admire great writing done quickly, with great detail.
