Chris Murphy

I am very supportive of the administration efforts to bring European and rising states back into peacekeeping.

If you really understand the fundamentals, the building blocks, of the religious perversion of ISIS...

The United Nations is a global institution, rather than a regional one, making its tools global in scope.

I think we have to be clear eyed about the fact in a number of cases, the U.N. is operating in theaters where transnational terrorist organizations also are operating.

That variation of using an U.N.-authorized multinational force is something I think we should be thinking about more than we sometimes do.

In early 2003 I was in the well of the Security Council arguing for a Chapter VII UNSC resolution permitting the use of force against Iraq.

It seems evident that the third of these is the only credible option--building tools for burden-sharing in the mission to uphold stability.

Senator Chris Murphy has called for a nation-wide investigation.

There is simply no reason a person struggling with addiction should be able to doctor shop and get multiple prescriptions.

We should make sure that patients in pain are able to get the help they need.

We need to have the flexibility to put resources where they are the most important to U.S. interests.

This lack of American focus, this lack of American attention, this lack of American leadership.

I would argue that, by having Libya as a proxy struggle between several Gulf States and Turkey on the other side perpetuates the conflict.

We did not make good on those expectations.

What I think we need to be focusing on in Egypt, and in other countries as well, is less about talking about democracy and more about promoting tolerance and inclusion.

It is also a question of whether we are willing to come up with the resources to do it.

That has got to be a challenge to this Congress, as well, I would assume.

Today we are spending 0.1 percent of GDP on foreign aid.

We have to reinvest in them, in their institutions and their societies.

We do not actually spend a lot of time talking about resources.

If we do this, we feed into Putin's narrative of encirclement, 'We are at war with the West.'

We did not fund the support in the community, and we set up a community mental health system that was wholly separate and apart from the rest of the health care system.
