What we’re doing now in terms of our diplomacy with Libya is to ensure that that in fact comes true: that there are tangible and intangible benefits for Libya-with us, with our European partners, with Libya’s neighbors in the region- as it is welcomed back into the community of nations. (Ace Goodman)
You have to play the cards you are dealt and if it has made it harder, it doesn’t matter, you still have to get the deal done. (Ace Goodman)
I wasn’t trying to whap anybody over the head with my own politics or my own beliefs, … But I do think there are many social critics on the right who’ve made great careers for themselves going around the country telling women to stay home. … There’s a romanticism about motherhood, that you can drop out of the cold, hard male world of working, and get that brass ring of motherhood … but I think that what feminism fought for was every woman to do what she wanted to. The message increasingly is that you can have one or the other, but not both. And men, well, they get both. (Ace Goodman)

“The battle lines are drawn, and there is no middle ground, ... The only way the terrorists can win is if we lose our nerve and abandon the mission. For the security of the American people, that's not going to happen on my watch. We'll do our duty. We'll defeat our enemies in Iraq and other fronts in the war on terror.” (Ace Goodman)
“Listen, there are differences of opinion about the way forward, ... I understand that. Some Americans want us to withdraw our troops so that we can escape the violence. I recognize their good intentions, but their position is wrong. Withdrawing our troops would make the world more dangerous and make America less safe.” (Ace Goodman)
“I believe (Iraqi President) Saddam Hussein is a threat to the American people. I believe he's a threat to the neighborhood in which he lives,” (Ace Goodman)
“The attacks of September the 11th, 2001, show what the enemies of America did with four airplanes. We will not wait to see what terrorists or terrorist states could do with weapons of mass destruction,” (Ace Goodman)
“That means a comprehensive diplomatic effort from all countries involved, ... backed by firm resolve.” (Ace Goodman)
“In many ways, the U.S. Supreme Court remains the paradigm.” (Ace Goodman)
“We're talking about a constitution that is in its third century. That's really quite remarkable among any of the nations of the world. It suggests an essential stability of our political system that many may envy but not many can emulate.” (Ace Goodman)
“Because the issues debated at the convention were very contentious and very divisive, it's easy to imagine that people of lesser stature could have foundered, that the whole enterprise might have died.” (Ace Goodman)

I have to report to you that as of this morning, there is no evidence of troops withdrawing from Kosovo. Indeed, the reports we have suggest that the fighting continues (Ace Goodman)
I have to say that I will not accept the criticism that has been emanating from Belgrade from the very people who organize the mass ethnic cleansing of Kosovo, who have caused thousands of civilian deaths in Kosovo, and who have displaced from their homes hundreds of thousands of people in Kosovo, … How dare they produce crocodile tears for people killed in the conflict for which they themselves are responsible. (Ace Goodman)
