Gregory Meeks actually said...

"I am really disappointed that we have been so divided that we will end up accomplishing here nothing at all."

"I consider myself a multilateralist, and I believe that diplomacy is the best way to try to resolve things."

"To cast off and say that we shouldn't talk to one country or another just does not make sense in this day and age."

"I think that is a direction that we still need to move in, and I think it is tremendously important."
