It is the explosive bombs that are killing most of the civilians, and causing terrible death, dismemberment.

The moral dilemma that America faces in this circumstance is far more complex than we face almost anywhere else.

The most important decision we will make this century is whether our successor species is carbon-based or silicon-based

So you are saying it is possible that, if the United States Congress declares by over a two-thirds majority in both Houses, that we reject the deal...

I would hope that you negotiate a deal in Switzerland so good that Congress universally supports it.

The United States Constitution vests specifically power over all international commerce, particularly sanctions, in the United States Congress.

I want to praise the administration for standing with Israel at the NPT consensus review process.

A housing program has to chiefly be evaluated based on whether it provides housing.

I think it is entirely reasonable that you have an advisory board made up in chief of your customers.

I do not believe in unilateral disarmament. Germany, Japan, Korea, and China have export promotion authorities which as a percentage of their economy dwarf EXIM Bank.

Now I put three of those in one category. The jizya is something that Muslim governments have imposed upon the minority communities for centuries.

The two most powerful forces in the Syria-Iraq-Lebanon area are the Shiite alliance in Iran on the one hand, and the extremists Sunnis on the other.

I am so proud of those brave men and women that put on the uniform every day and go out to fight for freedom.
