The longer the better.

The strength of the insurgency in Syria is now estimated at somewhere between 75,000 or 80,000 or up to 110,000 to 115,000 insurgents, who are organized into more than 1,500 groups of widely varying political leanings.

I would like to take that in a classified setting.

If tomorrow we are able to capture Ahmad Al-Zawahiri, where do we put him?

I would also like to ask both of you about a New York Times report I saw on January 29, 2014.

I would hope that we are taking whatever action we can to aggressively go after those people who are firing on the unarmed refugees.

I know my time is up, but I would like to take those questions in a classified setting with regard to Russian treaty violations.

What happens in terms of detaining dangerous individuals, let's say members of al Qaeda, if we repeal the AUMF and close Guantanamo?

There have been efforts made to forestall it, but is there a sense out there that the sanctions are unraveling?

I come to the floor today to talk about the attack on our consulate on September 11, 2012. I am here to talk about the fact that four brave Americans were murdered that day by an act of terrorism. One of those murdered was our Ambassador…

The administration announced another delay in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act for the business community.

Well, at the rate the administration is changing this law unilaterally, I think your people are going to have to be working overtime, because it seems like it is a moving target.

Who will that have a more disproportionate effect on--lower-wage workers or higher-wage workers?

I am trying to understand, and I think the Chairman already covered it--but why it took from CID so long, from 2007 to 2011, to request the Army Audit Agency to begin a fraud risk assessment.

Obviously, this is something that we need to make sure that the systematic controls are put in place.

It's offensive. We should fix this, and we are sending the wrong message.

What are our priorities?

What worries me about this is that it was a huge disconnect from Washington in terms of those who have sacrificed the most.

What worries me is that we grandfathered the Federal employees, meaning only new hires would get impacted by it.

FRA also supports the 'Down Payment to Protect National Security Act'.

I just hope that we can fix this wrong and right it now and not wait, Secretary Fox. I don't think we should wait.

That is a huge impact.

I think a disconnect with what happened in this budget agreement.

A military retirement is very different in terms of the sacrifices that are made than your average civilian retirement; do you agree?

Now, the right thing to do is to fix it now, not to leave this hanging over our men and women's heads in terms of the unfair cuts here.
