In order to complete a battle and have support behind you, you have to have a clear, defined mission.

You feel it is best to fight them over there then here, and I agree.

ISIS' vision is an apocalyptic vision to destroy America. They want a worldwide caliphate, and in doing that, you know, they are looking to come here.

In order to negotiate an agreement, there has to be trust, understanding, character, integrity, and verification. I have seen none of that.

I think this time around it is going to be much more difficult to maintain international unity.

All right. So they want to have the right to do that, is what they are working on.

I don't see anything that we got to even open up these negotiations.

I agree with you in that their two pillars are the rejection of U.S. influence and the rejection of Israel's existence.

All the experts have said that Iran is, you know, 5, 6 months away from having enough material to have a nuclear bomb.

A negotiated agreement is the preferred solution to peacefully resolve this nuclear crisis.

Congress should continue pushing on all of these fronts, but it should also defend the very sanctions architecture that was so instrumental in creating.

Congress needs to stand behind the July 2014 letter that was signed by 344 members of the House of Representatives.

The more flawed the deal, the more important it will be for Congress to defend the sanctions architecture to maintain economic leverage.

If it is arming the Kurds here, so be it.

They are thugs, plain and simple, thugs who have taken advantage of a power vacuum created by an unclear U.S. foreign policy.

Since ISIL's rise, many innocent lives have been lost to the brutality, the crucifixions, the decapitation.

We have known about this since 1970. This is not a new virus. This is something we should have been prepared for as a government.

What is the expected cost in the next year to treat and contain if things stay pretty static the way they are or, you know, the predicted growth of this, what would you predict that cost would be?

We should have been prepared for this, and I look at your organization as something that should be ready, not just for this one but for the next one, too.

All right. So we are seeing focal outbreaks?

One of the things that has come up several times is the integrity of the program for the SNAP program.

I appreciate your leadership on this Committee, your bipartisan support and your stellar effort to get the farm bill passed.

I want to congratulate my friend and colleague, Steve Southerland, for crafting the Waters of the United States bill, this important piece of legislation. Mr. Chairman, I have heard from farmers, ranchers, contractors and even homeowners…

A democracy is mob rule. It is majority rule.

They take money--these countries take money from us with one hand, and then cover up their eyes with the other and ignore the problem.
