This is an issue not just for terrorist operations, but I would presume also for things like child molesters, child pornographers, sex traffickers, kidnappers, is that correct?

It is, but I am old in spirit.

The Federal Government is different. It is not a for-profit enterprise. Therefore, it makes decisions not based on market or financial signals, but on political decisions oftentimes.

One might say we should have let France finance this sale, and they could have taken the entire loss themselves as opposed to imposing it on the American taxpayer.

What capitalism is primarily about is putting private dollars at risk.

It would be unwise for the United States to let the Eximbank unwind its operations and wind down.

I strongly support that.

I would submit that he repeatedly violated Turkish airspace until Turkey defended its airspace.

Trying to rely on Iran to defeat the Islamic State is like trying to rely on gasoline to put out a fire.

Wars are not won with paper resolutions, they are won with iron resolution.

What should we say to their families... once we reach a deal that is going to give Iran tens of billions of dollars?

Iran remains an anti-American, terror-sponsoring outlaw regime that is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans.

I would like to associate myself with the remarks that Chairman McCain made earlier today about arming the Ukrainian Government.

I send two amendments to the desk, one for my own and one on behalf of Senator Rubio of Florida. Mr. President, I have said time and again----

I want to ask about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Given what we've started to see in the Baltics in recent months, between aggressive behavior from Russian bombers or submarines...

The time at which sanctions will either be suspended or terminated is subject to negotiation, but it is conditional on reaching a successful end, which means that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.

Rather than the FSOC changing, modifying, or reversing a decision, what if the designated institution simply disagrees? What recourse does it have?

I would say it's problematic for Russia to be resupplying its forces in Syria by flying through Iraq.

I suggest that when people chant 'death to America,' we should take them seriously and reconsider whether we want to make nuclear concessions to such people and their regime.

Diplomacy is always more effective when backed by the credible threat of force, though. Correct?

Why, after all, are we negotiating with the Islamic Revolution over their nuclear weapons program, but for the President's quest to harpoon the great white whale of a nuclear agreement with Iran?

Why are the Qods Force increasingly the dominant force inside of Iraq, and why is Qasem Suleimani, the commander of the Qods Force, a man with the blood of hundreds of American troops on his hand, showing up like a celebrity on Facebook…

Why is Bashar al-Assad still in power years after the President said he must go but for any reason because Iran views Syria as a legitimate sphere of interest and the President has largely conceded that sphere?

The Middle East is a place of many dangerous and complex questions, and the answer in whole or in part to virtually every one of those questions is Iran.
