Ben Cardin actually said...

"the idea that the Yemen civil war can be resolved by military force alone is an illusion."

"the need to rigorously enforce the JCPOA, the Iran nuclear deal."

"It is appropriate that this committee take a look at what we can do to make sure that, first, the Iran nuclear agreement is honored so that Iran does not become a nuclear weapons state."

"I strongly believe it would be against U.S. interests to withdraw from the JCPOA or to take any actions that could be interpreted to be in conflict with the JCPOA."
