The President has no constitutional authority to take this Nation to war against a country of 70 million people, unless we're attacked or unless there is proof that we are about to be attacked. And if he does--if he does--I would move to…

I advocate no war, no justification for war.

Hell no. I wouldn't support any of these guys. No, I'm joking. Of course. I'd support them all.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Don't do it. No. Don't make me speak.

The American people don't give a darn about any of this stuff that's going on up here.

Then, if I understand this correctly, I think my friend and the Senator from Alaska are doing exactly what I asked for. My only worry is that, A, we make a commitment to the total of 23,000 in the supplemental, a commitment that would get…

That is good enough for me. I am happy to withdraw the amendment. I have never known the Senator from Hawaii or the Senator from Alaska, when they gave their word, to do anything--do anything but that. The supplemental we are going to…

I wish to tell him how grateful I am for his joining in this amendment. Quite frankly, it is a big deal that he is, and it adds not only credibility to the amendment in terms of our colleagues, but it adds, quite frankly, an international…

I believe that we need to work towards a more peaceful and stable future for the people of the Middle East, and that means working towards a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and addressing the root causes of extremism…

We need to address the challenges facing our allies and partners in the region and ensure that they have the support they need to contribute to stability and security in Iraq, and that means strengthening our alliances and partnerships and…

We need to address the challenges facing our diplomatic efforts in Iraq and ensure that we have a coordinated and effective approach to diplomacy that complements our military efforts.

We need to address the challenges facing our troops and ensure that they have the support they need to complete their mission and return home safely, and that means providing adequate resources and equipment and addressing the mental…

Why should I change my name? He's the one who sucks.

I would assert I am confident there are some major players in this administration who agree with the tact I am taking, and I would invite--that is not why he is on the floor, I know--I would invite any advice or suggestions--not at this…
