Shame on this administration for that. Shame on them for slapping the face of other people trying to help us defeat the radicals who would kill our own people.

That makes no sense. Can you make some sense out of that for me?

This is insanity. This administration has a--it is not just this administration.

We have slapped him in the face.

What more can Pakistan do that would have us cut off the military aid?

The State Department and this administration has again decided to slap the face of a person who we rely upon to defeat radical Islamic terrorism.

I am very disturbed about a major slap in the face to someone who is Vice President, Senior Vice President of Afghanistan.

What about the Pakistanis suffering the consequences of their decisions?

The engineering--so it's possible, however, the engineering couldn't--I mean, for example, I understand that already there's been great progress made in the producing the advanced materials that--the actual material science has grown a…

Okay. So we've spent $900 million, and they've spent seven billion on the project already, is that correct?

One needs only to take a look at the issues that are being discussed today to note that you are reaffirming this committee's traditional positioning and support for human rights throughout the world.

the money that we put into trying to develop fusion--had we put $20 billion in this same effort into perfecting fission, we'd be a lot--it's a lot greater chance for improving mankind.

I think that there is a compelling case for why the U.S. national interests, both economic and security, rests in intensified engagement with the Asia-Pacific region.

We know that one of our great assets is this new and thriving and futuristic space transportation systems that we have now being developed in the private sector.

I will have to say that there is some skepticism on the part of some of us as to the way the administration is handling this unique challenge that we face.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And I appreciate you taking the time and effort to make sure that this hearing happened today on a very significant issue.

This is a major threat in the world today. This region is not immune. It could get a lot worse.

I appreciate that, and I would just suggest that the money that we're spending on light-water reactors is based on the past and we need to look to the future, and I think that is not based on light-water reactors.

More people, their human rights are violated in China than anywhere else in the world.

Timing, timing, timing. This is not the time for us to move forward with what absolutely will be viewed as a retreat from our position that we took after the Castro brothers decided that they would, not decided but took control of Cuba and…

They believe in yoga and meditation, they are a threat to no one, and yet they are being slaughtered in the secret jail cells throughout China.

Fidel Castro in the 1960s lobbied Nikita Khrushchev to launch nuclear missiles into the United States. Fidel Castro would have murdered 100 million Americans.
