The transparency aspect is the first aspect of this legislation, transparent about foreign assistance, and make it easy for everyone to understand...

Foreign assistance has been around 50 years-plus. And what this legislation does is make that assistance transparent...

It has got to be laughable other than it is reality and it is just bad form.

If we are going to attack this, we need to attack it.

I am amazed at the level of what appears to me--I have only been here for 3 years in Congress--but it appears to be a high level of incompetence, lack of strategy, lack of planning.

Why should I support anything this administration does in the Middle East, Syria, the Middle East, or even in the Ukraine, with the lack of strategy that I see?

How costly is it to have 4 million displaced refugees that have gone around the world?

If we are going to attack them, if we are going to do this, let's do it right and let's get a strategy.

We are attacking a sovereign nation without an AUMF.

My goal is to remove all funding from the Palestinian Authority.

A decade ago, North Korea wanted a nonaggression pact with the United States. We turned them down because we don't do nonaggression pacts, which is perhaps the silliest reason not to do it.

I don't think we should give it to them unless we get something in return, but to dismiss it out of hand seems absurd.
