There is absolutely no excuse for a statement by Secretary General Insulza supporting the Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega's shame election as a 'step forward--step toward--step forward for democracy.'
Engel criticizes Insulza's support for Ortega's election, calling it undemocratic.

I introduced the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act several years ago as a response to what we saw in this room.
I think that is scandalous and I think it, frankly, undermines whatever policy we are pursuing in Syria.
We will continue to call out and hold accountable those who undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement or threaten the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character.
I particularly want to thank Chairman Engel for his leadership, as well as the whole committee, for making the Caesar Act a reality.
