There needs to be some sort of similar punishment.

Let me thank you for holding this hearing. This is extremely timely and appropriate.

We have to realize that no matter how well a war is planned, no matter how specific our strategy is, the fact is that there are going to be tough days ahead. This is going to be very rough. This is not going to be easy. And we have to…

I thank the chairman for yielding. I thank him for his effort in putting together this amendment, and, before he leaves the floor, I would like to commend my friend, Mr. Engel from New York, for the very vigorous bipartisan speech that he…

I think it is always important to remind the people even in New York about the constant terror threat that we face.

If that became ultimately, yes, yes, I don't think we would use the Special Forces for operations.

I think ultimately Congress should. First of all, I would vote. I mean, assuming the president says pretty much what I just said then I would certainly vote for a resolution.

First of all, in general terms, I wanted him to say that our goal is to destroy ISIS. That is a very severe threat to the United States, our interests in the Middle East and the homeland security.

I think Ray Rice will play again and I'll tell you why. Because I think that in America, we're a country of second chances.

I think that there are going to be some owners who are going to have hard questions and everyone -- they're going to want to know from Roger Goodell, you know, what did you know and when did you know it.

I think he will survive it, Anderson, because you have to understand this. I think that the powerful owners in the league realized that Roger Goodell has been on the job basically for eight years.

I think the NFL should have worked more diligently to try to get this video.

When the president says that we're not going to use -- we're not going to go beyond air strikes, I can't understand why a commander in chief would ever tell the enemy what we're going to do or not do.

the fact is, there has not been a major attack on our mainland since September 11, 2001.

Today we know that at least 100 Americans have traveled or attempted to travel to Syria for the purpose of joining an Islamist extremist group.

It is essential that the White House articulates American interests in the region.

My concern is the innocent Westerners that are killed in the mean time.

It is time for the administration and the Congress to implement a plan to safeguard the homeland.

the world cannot let it become a training ground from which our nationals can return and launch attacks.

It is because we did take aggressive action, not always done perfectly, but the fact is, we took action.

Ultimately, we need to show an unflinching determination to face down the threats being posed to the West by the dangers emerging from this region.

If you are a parent in Central America, in effect, this can look like a free pass.

I want to personally thank you for that. It is greatly appreciated.

What keeps me up at night is the thought of a nuclear device in New York City.

Because for all we knew at that moment there could have been another attack being planned in another city, New York, Philadelphia, Trenton, whatever.
