Jane Harman: “The main show is who is responsible for developing and explaining the $38 billion homeland security budget.”

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.

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

The American people deserve a voice in this. They have to understand what the trade-offs are in terms of resources and loss of life.

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.
