So when we understand and know that ISIS has the same ideology of this radical political Islamism that Al Qaeda has...

I have seen pictures, films, and images from Nagasaki and Hiroshima, I know you have as well.

With the U.N. Security Council voting unanimously to support this nuclear deal with Iran, the toughest global sanctions will be dismantled in exchange for Iran's compliance.

If EU stays together--EU stays together.

Whatever it takes, whatever it takes, he should be brought home.

Change needs to come from the Libyan people, that we don't have a good track record of nation building in other countries.

I think it is difficult to see any so-called political solution on the horizon, given the situation on the ground.

For many years, the U.S. Congress and this committee have stood strongly behind Burma's democracy movement in fighting to bring an end to one of the world's most brutal military regimes.
