Robert Menendez actually said...

"Do not bluff the Americans. The Americans were willing to stay in Iraq. We told them we did not want them."

"Do not make the same mistake we did. You know, we kissed the Americans good-bye, and we need them today."

"Do not think you can bluff them, and do not be foolish enough to think that, if they depart, your life is going to be better."

"It is common sense, in my mind, given the current economic circumstances, that we should remove barriers to foreign investment in the United States."
