In Syria, our policy has been Assad must go, and yet Assad is there and we really have not done much to cause Assad to go.

Prepared to take action, I assume.

If President Assad is not held accountable for his war crimes, it will be a clear message that we are going to see this scene play out again somewhere else in that region.

I think we are taking steps to----

What steps are being taken to trace Iran's activities, which will be enhanced by sanction relief?

The way that the United States must provide leadership is to make it clear that we understand Syria's future will be without Assad.

We must never lose our moral outrage at what we have seen this organization do and is doing every day.

He has worked relentlessly to build a vision among diverse groups of nations and bind them together with a common purpose.

As I look at Libya where we basically went in for the short term and left a country ungoverned.

It is hard to tell whether the administration is friend or foe at present.

You really delude yourself in terms of what Iran is really going to be planning on doing here.

In regards to the anti-ISIL campaign, Russia's presence has not been a major problem.

We believe Russia's decision to intervene militarily in Syria is a losing bet.

Yes, it is to stop the spread and use of weapons of mass destruction. It is clearly to underscore our commitment to Israel's security. It is for counterterrorism and the spread of violent extremism. It is good governance and respect for…

In Iran, obviously we have just totally turned the tables relative to our relationship there.

We need to make sure to focus on the human rights issue.

There can be no normalization, as it relates to North Korea, until they deal with both the security issues and human rights issues.

We have not succeeded in our policies in North Korea.

If you do not name specific countries, you are not going to get anywhere.

We should not trust the North Koreans to follow through on their commitments.

I do not know that there is another country in the world that is worse to its people than North Korea.

There can be little question that these efforts have failed to end North Korea's nuclear or missile programs, failed to reduce threat posed by North Korea to our allies, failed to alleviate the suffering of the North Korean people, and…

The human rights problems in North Korea include large-scale executions, murder, enslavement, torture, imprisonment, rape, forced abortions, and sexual violence.

Our policy of a denuclearized peninsula is critically important to the security of the Republic of Korea.

I think we need to remind China that China's constant defense of North Korean misbehavior will hurt China's own interests.
