I'm concerned that [Pakistan] continues to play a double game, fighting terrorism that has a direct impact inside Pakistan, and supporting it in places like India and Afghanistan.

I think it is a waste of time.

I hope this committee will give the President's proposal serious consideration.

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

I also support the measure sponsored by Mr. Lieu and Mr. Poe which recognizes the importance of the economic ties between the United States and our ally, Israel.
