Absolutely, but the question we raised is whether the President's anticipated action this afternoon helps or hinders that goal.

I think that the Kim regime in North Korea has regime survival as its first tenet--not helping its people but regime survival.

I do think, as you said, that decertifying this deal or at least in some way pulling away from this deal is going to make it harder to negotiate with the North Koreans.

If you're Kim Jong-un and you're watching this and thinking oh, here was an international agreement led by the United States in which they promised to give up their nuclear program in exchange for certain things.

I think Congress has to enact an authorization to use military force for the region, which would identify the trade-offs and how to create a strategy for United States leadership that puts maximum pressure not just on Iran.

I think that Congress can finally construct the strategy that has been missing from everything we've been doing in the region.

Should it have addressed Iran's other malign behavior? Yes, it should, and it still could, if this side agreement were entered into.

I think that if President Trump can reach a strong deal with the North Koreans he will deserve enormous credit.

I think Congress is AWOL and Congress should be doing this, and the 2001 AUMF that most of us who are here voted for it seems to me doesn't apply to this situation at all.

I think we should be very, very careful, given the Iraq experience, and if the people of Iran who elected their government by more than 50 percent in a four-way field want to change their government, then let them do that.

But imposing sanctions and continuing to impose them on Iran's malign behavior in the region, which is permissible, is the right way to go.

If the people of Iran who elected their government by more than 50 percent in a four-way field want to change their government let them do it.

I think it should be working, as we've all said, with Europe, who are in this deal in the first place, and hopefully with China and Russia, too, to contain nuclear developments in the region.

Negotiations are tough. Each party has to give up something to get to a deal.

If we don't have European allies, going forward, and we have a large trade war with Europe, I worry that not only our policy toward Iran but our policy in many areas of the world will be harmed.

I actually think the sanctions have been very effective and economic sanctions as a tool of foreign policy is an asymmetric strength of the United States.

We have to keep an eye on this. We have to think about ways in which we can help Americans who are unfairly detained there.

I think this action by the President makes it harder for us to get them out.

I think leaving the deal on a unilateral basis...further isolates us and that's a mistake in terms of U.S. strategy.

I think that this action will hurt our ability to strike a better deal.

I, too, always thought Iran's intention was to acquire a nuclear weapon.

But on North Korea, talk about their intentions--they built 60 nuclear weapons. So let us not be naive as we do a deal with them and I am in favor of doing the right deal with North Korea.

Iran is complying with the deal--with the four corners of the deal.

This is a time, in my view, for Congress to step up and insist that secondary and tertiary ramifications of these issues be considered.
