I join with the ranking member in saying that we ought to have new sanctions.
Some believe that the sanctions got us a good deal. Some believe the sanctions would have gotten us a better deal. The only agreement was that sanctions work.
People in this country want us to get along with everyone around the world. We long for peace, and there are those who say sanctions contradict that.
It is time for Saudi Arabia to come clean. They can't say they don't support terrorism.
The Iraqis promised to provide security protection to the MEK members in Iraq after the U.S. transferred authority to the Iraqi Government.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to the MEK for bringing this information to the world.
The choice is not between arbitration and litigation. The choice is between litigation as a class action and absolutely no remedy.
And to say that investors must only consider earnings per share is to say that the investor doesn't own their own money; cannot make decisions that reflect their own values.
I think it is an attack on capitalism to tell investors that it is virtually illegal for them to consider anything other than earnings per share in making their investments.
I hope colleagues here, well, you will be receiving a letter from me soon about urging the EU to designate Mahan Air under its terrorism sanctions.
Iran is taking its thugs to Syria and killing people by the hundreds every week, and those who believe in peace have to realize that they have no allies in Tehran.
What we should be talking about is to demand full compliance with the deal and ourselves not over-comply and give to the Iranians more than they bargained for.
We have to straighten out the difference between being pro-Iran deal, and there are many reasonable people who have taken that position, and pro-Iran.
I strongly support Vice President Biden's goal of increasing bilateral trade to $500 billion.
India is perhaps the greatest geopolitical opportunity for the United States.
South Asia, with nearly 2 billion people, by definition, is a major focus of American foreign policy.
I would urge you to talk to Beijing about making that plane land because if your sole defense for what I laid out is that the Iranians wouldn't want to violate a U.N. resolution and they'd feel bad about violating international law, that…
But at the same time, if an Argentine plane was getting too close to the Falkland Islands we wouldn't be talking about it here.
But the deal is so bad that it has to be sold as a China containment policy because it is certainly not a jobs creation policy.
There is a tendency when making policy to yield to the interests of the most powerful entity in this country that cares about that policy.
Asia's important. That's why it's important that we not enter into bad trade deals or unnecessary military confrontations in Asia.
