I do believe there are some positive signs with China.

That is why we have made it clear that that is an unacceptable outcome, for Iran to become a nuclear weapons power.

I think the science information is clear that carbon emissions, greenhouse gases, have a significant impact on global climate change and that we have the technology to do something about that, that we can reverse that.

It should not drive the Senate's decisionmaking on what is one of the most important foreign policy issues of our time.

We do have a security issue because of dependency on foreign oil.

We must take action to protect our environment for future generations.

Research has shown an interesting correlation between traumatic climate events and political strife around the world.

The consequences of failure to deal with these issues will fall squarely on the national security costs to our country.

Would it be a preferred route for the United States policy to strengthen the international presence within Pakistan rather than trying to do this on a bilateral basis?

The internally displaced persons in Pakistan represent a real challenge for the stability of the Pakistani Government, and it is of great interest to the United States.

Well, I thank you for the response. I'm still not particularly clear as to the effectiveness of the international commitment to Pakistan.

I think it is clear that we can safely detain and incarcerate these individuals here in the United States.

I generally support sunset provisions, but it seems to me that we do want to get a process for military commissions in place with some degree of confidence and predictability.

First, in regards to use of Article III courts with terrorists in the United States, there was no effort made by the previous administration to prosecute detainees at Guantanamo Bay under Article III courts.

We are not going to be able to get other countries to handle all the people at Guantanamo Bay.

I think we can ask them or require that they leave our country.

I share Senator Durbin's confidence that our Article III courts can handle the prosecution of those that we intend to hold criminally responsible for their actions.

I think the immigration laws are such that there is no responsibility for them to be allowed to remain in the United States.

As a Member of the House of Representatives in 2006, I voted against the Military Commissions Act.

Let me make this very clear. I want the U.S. Government to bring terrorist suspects to justice quickly and effectively.

I think there is no opposition at all in Congress to making the laws as clear as can be that terrorists are not going to be released in the United States.

I think it is important to keep in mind that one of the challenges of reducing the Guantanamo population has been finding countries willing to take these people.

President Obama is sending a clear message to the world that we are reestablishing the rule of law in the United States.

I commended President Obama at the time for ordering the closure of the detention center.

I have talked to representatives from other countries concerning this issue, and one of the points they raise to me frequently is that, fine, we are willing to do our part, but is the United States willing to take on a responsibility…
