It is hard to say that the President doesn't have enough authority to do all the things that many of us hope he does not do.

We are all aware of the evil of ISIS. ISIS almost asks us to take military action against them.

I don't want to vote to have American soldiers going house to house in Mosul in a bloody hand to hand combat role.

But unless we are willing to do that, Germany will sell nonlethal materials to Iran in a way that helps their economy.

So we can hurt their economy, but, without China, we can't threaten regime survival.

The Shiite alliance is more dangerous than ISIS.

I would point out that, unless we are willing to do the secondary sanctions approach--which is called for by present statute.

Nobody gives up their firstborn just to get a lower ATM fee.

Would the administration object to language in an appropriations bill designed to make it impossible for this administration to give back the Naval base?

Americans paid in blood for Cuban independence. We got a base in Guantanamo that is valuable to our national security.

It is said that our policy toward Cuba for the last 50 years has failed.

I might be more favorably impressed by the policy if it hadn't been such a complete shock and if Congress had been involved.
