So, the question is, if Iran is giving the money to Assad, so he can give money to Russia, or if Iran is sending the money directly to Russia, would we know about it?

If it fails to protect Russian-speaking persons, Putin is gone.

In the future, those who say, 'Where's your strategy?' are really saying, 'Why can't you control the world at no cost?' And that is a silly question.

That implies that the United States is in control of events, that we own them, that the outcome is determined by what goes on here in Washington. That is a very dangerous viewpoint.

You have been put in a very difficult position. You have done as good a job as anyone could possibly due in justifying one of the worst decisions made by the Department this year.

I would say he made them because he wants TPP to go forward and is willing to throw the Trafficking In Persons Report out the window.

And that is why it is the Secretary of State who ought to have the whatevers to come before Congress and defend this decision.

I tend to believe what Reuters reports. Pretty accurate service. More accurate than most.

Why Congress just sits by and lets the executive branch make all the foreign policy decisions.

North Korea deserves to be on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.

It is our job, when necessary, to rewrite statutes, and if we don't know how you are interpreting this statute, we don't know whether it needs to be rewritten or not.

I would like you to furnish for the record from your bureau an analysis of how you interpret the law.

I am an advocate for multifamily housing. It is affordable, and our homeless problem can also be viewed as just a housing affordability problem.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding these hearings about Burma, or Myanmar. I want to focus on three things: The Rohingya, elections, and U.S. policy.

We would have more credibility talking to the world about anti-Semitism if it wasn't so prevalent on at least a few American campuses.

I disagree with a portion of what Dana Rohrabacher had to say for reasons everybody else has already expressed.

I do not have a dog in this fight. I do not have an orange in this fight.
