I think it would increase the hegemony of Iran in the whole Middle Eastern area.

I liken this to giving a crocodile or a shark more teeth and somehow expecting it to do something different than it already does.

I am personally disgusted with the platitudes, the moral relativism, the explaining away by people around here in this room...

I find it unconscionable that we are not doing a better job spending the American taxpayers' money in a responsible manner.

I come from the private-sector, and if we had a business that was running like that, and we tasked people to manage that business, and they don't perform that way, we would fire that person.

I would rather give commodities. I know it is more expensive, but it is more representative of America, and the taxpayers would be better served by doing that, as our farmers would be.

The purpose is to make sure that the money that the American people are taxed for to provide relief to people in need go to the people that it was intended to.

We must be mindful that upholding Israel's qualitative military edge is the law of the land.

I also recognize that not all of the GCC countries have been ideal partners, and some haven't taken the necessary steps to stop terror financing.

What led to the increase in the FARC terrorist attacks? What led to this?

America has stood head and shoulders above every other nation when it comes to assisting those in need.

I hope we use a lot more of that.

Are they friendly? Or there is strong opposition from the Assad Administration?

It comes down to the rule of law.

This is not a left, right, Republican, Democrat issue.

It really is, and I agree with you.

Anything that we do in government here should be to make sure that that wrong gets righted.
