“It is the same thing. I am repeating myself over and over again. That is redundant. Anyway, it is just the same thing. It is that we are not happy with the Iran deal and want to try to find any way possible to undo it. There is enough support all around to at least try to reach a new day with the Government of Iran and try to find a way to have a better understanding. You know, I am a big supporter of this situation, and people have asked: Why? Simply because I have seen, I have been a Member of Congress during wartime, I have been alive during wartime, I have been alive during peacetime, both as a Member of Congress and out of Congress. I would rather give peace a chance. The Iran deal allows for that situation. Secondly, the Iran deal closed many of the pathways that Iran had to building a bomb within a year. And those are still there. The President, trust me--do I know this for a fact? Am I in the room there in the oval office? No--if there is one item the President does not want to fail, it is on this one. So there are people looking at this on a daily basis. Any chart we come up with, any photograph we come up with, they have it at the White House, I assure you, and they are dealing with this on a daily basis. So I understand the gentleman from New York, my colleague, has this amendment representing someone else, but he believes in it, and I respect him for that, but I think we should give this an opportunity to work.…”
