Why have you not fully implemented every one of the sanctions laws that we passed against human rights violators in Venezuela?

The policy is Iran will not get a nuclear weapon.

But, as I mentioned earlier, we also have a responsibility to ensure that we are being good stewards of U.S. taxpayer money and that these funds are being used to maximize efficacy and transparency.

As you both have said, the United States plays a critical role in the international response as the largest donor country, having contributed more than $3 billion.

I want to share your sentiments on or sorrow for the loss of Kayla Mueller.

I am very pleased that you are here to talk about--it is a little change of pace; let's put it that way.

I introduced last year--and I will do it again soon--a resolution to create an independent tribunal to begin the process of investigating human rights crimes in Syria.

I have got to say I have been shocked and truly dismayed throughout this crisis at the lack of financial support coming from the international community.

It is important that our Government will continue to respond to this humanitarian crisis, but also that we will make the respect for human rights across the globe a priority and not just an afterthought.

I offer my full support of continued humanitarian funding for this crisis, but I also want to make sure that our aid is effective and not falling into the wrong hands.

Our investment of $25 billion in the Iraqi national army failed--failed miserably--because when you say they all ran, 250,000 of them, in the face of 30,000 ISIS fighters, well, certainly because Iraq is a majority Shi'a country, many of…

We need to create that dynamic and that means what we did to defeat communism we made that our number-one goal and we worked with anybody who would work with us to defeat that goal.

We need to know exactly--if that means that he would be willing to commit major forces on the ground or not that needs to be part of any agreement that we have.

I personally will not and I don't--I can't speak for my colleagues but I don't believe that I will be giving the President of the United States and I don't think the Congress will give the President of the United States a blank check on…

We won't be able to defeat ISIL over the long term without a more forceful U.S. policy toward the Assad regime.

The Obama administration states that the training of Syrian moderate fighters is a large part of our strategy.

We all are deeply saddened by Kayla's appalling murder by ISIL terrorists.

I personally don't believe this is going to be settled by the military.

As Representative Ros-Lehtinen said, we have got a lot of questions about Syria.

Shouldn't we work with Assad? We worked with Stalin to defeat Hitler.

We will not give up the fight to bring Bob home to you and all of his loved ones and friends.

As South Florida residents, you couldn't have asked for a better and more determined representative for your cause than Ted Deutch.

I hope that when you are negotiating with the Castro regime you keep in mind U.S. law.

How will I explain to my three little girls that their U.S. Marine Vietnam veteran grandfather was denied the only justice for his murder when Gerardo Hernandez was set free, pardoned, and returned to Cuba?

Only in Castro's Cuba could the arrest of 178 people in 1 month be considered a victory.
