Bob Menendez said "Do you think helping a regime that is oppressive of its people; that violates every principle that not only we, as Americans, have, but the International Charter has; that doubling--doubling--its reserves to $5.7 billion, which only gets used in its security apparatus; and that permits--permits--interchanges with the Committee to Defend the Revolution, which ultimately is a block watch organization that oppresses every Cuban in every village, in every hamlet, that's good policy?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
