Identifying Islam itself as a terrorist source... is just fallacy.

We do not have a dysfunctional immigration system. that does not permit us to know who we let into our country.

I am glad that we have spent a good amount of time here talking about the roots of extremism.

To me, that is counter to the strategies we need to fight extremists.

I think hubris certainly is something that can be the downfall of us all.

We have a political problem.

We certainly have made bold statements about what we were going to do relative to Syria that were followed up with almost nothing.

I think history should probably teach us that those two things are likely not a coincidence.

I reject the idea that there are easy, clear alternatives that the administration just is not looking at.

This idea that there was a magical moment in 2012 where we could have parachuted arms to the Syrian rebels and they would have overrun Assad is not true.

We have caused the sons and daughters and brothers and uncles and sisters of those in the Syrian opposition to be slaughtered.

Maybe, just maybe every bad thing that happens in the world is not a fault of failed U.S. policy.

At the heart of the most spectacular U.S. foreign policy failures of the last 50 years is hubris.

How does that get us the political solution?

I am going to speak briefly in support of the resolution. Senator Lee, a cosponsor of this resolution, is on the floor, and he will speak after I do. Let me say at the outset that I believe in a strong U.S. global presence. I believe the…

I thank the Senator. Madam President, I do think this is an important moment. As I said in my opening remarks, I don't think a vote in favor of this resolution fundamentally breaks the alliance with Saudi Arabia. They remain an incredibly…

I ask unanimous consent that the time during quorum calls on the motion be equally divided between the proponents and the opponents. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

on behalf of Senator Paul and pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, I move to discharge the Foreign Relations Committee from further consideration of S.J. Res. 39, relating to the disapproval of the proposed foreign military…

The threat of withdrawing humanitarian aid is only so good as the concern that leaders show for the people.

Ten to 15 years is what you're recommending?

A lot of people would suggest that that is essentially the policy that we have tried so far, that we have put in almost $2 billion worth of aid, we have attached conditions on it.

I would like to thank Chairman Inhofe and Ranking Member Boxer for this informative discussion and for their help in clarifying the content and intent of section 2004 and the dredging provisions contained in WRDA 2016.

Does section 2004 or any other provision in WRDA 2016 revise the Army Corps' Federal standard for disposal of dredged material from Federal projects?

That is correct. Sediment from Federal projects and larger private projects are required to undergo toxicity testing, and if they fail, the sediment cannot be disposed of at the Long Island Sound sites. Connecticut requires ``capping'' or…

But that assumes that the Taliban is interested in a political solution.
