Ed Markey actually said...

"a negotiated solution remains the best chance at resolving this problem"

"Our view is sanctions--my view is sanctions with direct negotiations."

"I think ultimately, unless we get more real about what is happening, then we are just on a collision course with a North Korean nuclear weapons-armed, ICBM-capable posture for the rest of our lives."

"I think sanctions are important, but they have to be married with negotiations."
