Let me just note it was a bipartisan effort that saved it, and I remember quite well the Democrats who came over and helped us on this very much.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I remember when we were trying to get this through the very first time, and it was, it almost did not pass, and if, in fact, I was told to pull the bill right before it went for a vote because we didn't…

We can't even get a resolution on the floor of Congress.

I think we should try our very best to free Dr. Afridi. He risked his life. He put himself in harm's way and we are abandoning him.

No. I think we should quit looking for signs of some minuscule message being sent by somebody in the government of Pakistan to us and take a look at what is right in front of our face. And that is that the Pakistani government has been…

No, we should not be trying to find reasons of how we could work with Pakistan. We should instead find reasons of how we can cut off our relationship with that hateful country.

Pakistan is the main instigator of the problems we're trying to solve in Afghanistan. They have been arming the terrorist groups. They were the country that created the Taliban.

We shouldn't give them any more money or any more support.

I think anybody who has any real serious doubts that the Pakistani government wasn't giving safe haven to Osama bin Laden all of these years, that that person is living in Never-neverland.

No. I think that we should quit looking for signs of some minuscule message being sent by somebody in the government of Pakistan to us and take a look at what is right in front of our face, and that is that the Pakistani government has…

That's correct. Pakistan would not be charging one of its citizens with treason for helping us bring to justice the man who murdered 3,000 of our citizens unless Pakistan was on the side of the man who murdered 3,000 of our citizens, and…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 5 Offered by Ms. Lee of California The Acting…

To clarify my position, President Reagan was responsible for the death of the Marines in Lebanon.

Thank you very much, Madam Chairman.

It is time for us to admit that our strategy about Iran, a nuclear armed Iran, is not working.

Unless we rebalance our policy and spending priorities in the region... we are going to lose much more than just money.

Our support should never total more than the Government of Afghanistan spends on itself.

A country as ruined and dysfunctional as Afghanistan... cannot be saved by our efforts.

We are the chumps who have poured more than $83 billion in foreign assistance down the world's biggest rathole.

Does anyone think another 10 years and another $24 billion will turn things around?

I wish you luck. I wish you success. I hope that we get these people out of there...

Whenever the United States Congress and the administration, Republican, Democrat, work together we are a powerful force in the world.

I think that ignoring the slaughter of innocent people is not going to make things better when you are dealing with regimes like Iraq and Iran.
