The Iranian regime continues to persecute those of the Baha'i faith, charging, imprisoning, abusing, and murdering individuals on trumped up charges including alleged propaganda against the state.

I'm very troubled with the administration's insistence that the deal made to free five Taliban leaders in exchange for Sergeant Bergdahl was the best deal we could get.

What progress has been made in resolving the maritime disputes between Lebanon and Israel and the energy claims in the East Mediterranean.

Political unrest and unstable energy supplies in the Middle East and North Africa will have a serious impact global energy markets.

I am particularly interested in how the administration plans to improve Iraq's reliability in the production of oil, especially with some of the political instability going on there.

I think we are at something like 7 percent approval now. And, to say Congress actually did something right, we don't hear that much around here.

Congress should not impose any new performance fee, tax royalty, or other charge relating to public performance of sound recordings on a local radio station for broadcasting sound recordings over-the-air.

This announcement puts at risk, I am afraid, the sacrifice that our men and women in uniform have made in that country.

Announcing a departure date no matter what the conditions on the ground just tells the Taliban how long they have to wait for us to leave.

Religious freedom is very fundamental and it's protected in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

All of these things in the Constitution, they're wonderful, but they're evolving, and we learn as things change.

This administration seems to casually ignore the historical fact that religious liberty involves much more than freedom of worship alone.

The Obama administration's flippant willingness to fundamentally abrogate America's priceless religious freedom in the name of leftist social engineering is of grave concern to me and should be to all of us.

When there is a power vacuum when the U.S. is less engaged around the world bad actors have a tendency to fill in there

His backing off and failure to enforce the red line in Syria has led me in my discussions...to say that was one of the biggest, most terrible turning points in America's foreign policy.

It is very concerning, and you look at Syria. There is a hundred and--at least 150,000 people who have died in Syria.

I am hearing from our allies, you know, where is America--what has happened to American leadership.

The idea of pivoting away from the Middle East, which I think is a very epic mistake...

Our alliance with the Gulf States has been very instrumental in us promoting peace and security across the region...

There is a perception... that we are pro-Muslim Brotherhood.

We here in Congress also need to be judicious in determining who is receiving this aid in Syria.
