This is a panel of Senators concerned about, and deeply interested in, the path forward for Cote d'Ivoire.

I'm strongly supportive of the Merkley/Alexander bill and hope to be joining them in actively supporting its adoption.

Political reconciliation is absolutely essential. I think that all people who were involved in human rights abuses need to be brought to trial.

No. There's no objection.

I agree with what you've already spoken to eloquently, General, that this is a critical moment in our relationship with Pakistan.

I have to remind them, as Nick Kristoff commented this week in the New York Times, that it--in the long-term, a stable Pakistan is more critical to the region and to the United States interests, like it or not, than a stable Afghanistan.

How can the civilian government of Pakistan be a true partner to America with a Parliament that just passed a resolution condemning the bin Laden raid?

Delaware is the only State without a national park, and I want to commend my senior senator, Tom Carper, for his tireless work on behalf of this bill.

Thank you very much, Chairman Udall, and thank you. Congratulations to Senator Burr both for your service on this committee.

Pakistan in many ways is both fire fighter and arsonist in our efforts to try and tackle extremism and terrorism.

What does Pakistan's inability... to detect Osama bin Laden within Pakistan say about the security of its nuclear arsenal?

One of the best things I think about the Kerry-Lugar-Berman assistance was an attempt to move from assistance government to government to assistance directly affects the Pakistani people.
