I don't know what the President's strategy really is in Afghanistan.

If you are engaged in a stabilization, counterinsurgency-type mission, and you have these ridiculously restrictive rules of engagement, you are going to lose.

I think the concern, though, is that you can do everything right, but given the lack of data, the lack of information we have on people who are being pulled out of a very, very difficult circumstance, essentially an Islamic civil war, that…

I, as well as the chairman of this committee, stands forthrightly behind the people of Venezuela who are being oppressed by the Maduro government, a thuggish socialist dictatorship.

We must have a policy that supports the aspirations of the Cuban people, not the needs of the Castro regime.

if you are harboring a terrorist, what is the evidence to then remove the regime from the list of terrorist-sponsoring country?

With policy toward Cuba, it has got to be focused, to me, on two things: standing with the Cuban people against the Castro regime and then what is in the best interest of the United States.

This new policy is really a boon to the regime because it is a failed regime.

this idea that if you just make concessions to the Castro brothers, we are going to be able to turn the page has been proven wrong.

when you are changing a policy, are you making it easier for the Cuban people to leverage a democratic transition?

the embargo was instituted in response to all the property seizures that the regime had done.

How is that advancing the rule of law if we are legitimizing a government simply taking somebody else's property outside the constraints of a legal and democratic system?

Has there been any commitment to extradite her to the United States so she can face justice?

The Obama administration's policy toward Cuba has provided an economic lifeline to the Castro dictatorship, but has not fostered greater freedoms for the Cuban people.

under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons.

A regime that under the sanctions was spending as much money as they were spending on support of terrorism...

I think it is odd that Israel, with this one country, would have to live under a totally separate standard than any other country in the rest of the world, in the eyes of some of these people, and I wonder what motivates that.

I think that this trade is going to be something that Congress, we are going to need to conduct oversight over to make sure that the law is being applied.

We need to know the PMD, we need to know more about Parchin.

The agreement lays out the conditions before we would then have----

So can you confirm that the Congress will not----

But it might not be consistent with what was actually passed by the Congress.

I think it is incumbent upon the U.S. Congress to help create an economic defensive shield to protect all of our allies.

We are not going to be privy to that information, and we are going to be asked to cast a vote on this.

I just think it would be a complete disaster to be negotiating trade agreements with these European countries, violate this provision, allow them to do economic boycotts of Israel.
