A national standard for nutrient levels in water bodies could be a disaster if applied in Oklahoma.

I have probably spent as much time looking at this asset that we have called Guantanamo Bay as anybody else that is up here at this table.

One of the few good deals we have had since 1904... would be Guantanamo Bay. It is $4,000 a year.

It is the most egregious attack on our Homeland in history.

I have been distressed for a long period of time. I know it is not a popular position to take, but the fact that we have a great resource in Guantanamo Bay that has not been utilized properly.

Since the attacks on September 11, the AUMF has provided a strong legal basis for our counterterrorism efforts around the world.

I am greatly concerned that changes to the AUMF could have significant, unintended consequences and undermine our counterterrorism efforts.

I do not object to that, but I would ask the Senator from Arkansas if he has any objection to that. I want to be sure to get in the queue sometime here.

If that happens, is that proper? Should it?

Unequivocally--he used that word--we all knew that that was an organized terrorist attack.

To stay ahead of that, while it wasn't necessary to get a lot of intelligence prior to that time under the Gbagbo regime, in my opinion, now it is because you're dealing with people who have terrorism in their background.

The threats to our security are growing, not decreasing.

The tide of war is receding.

Africa is unique in another way, too. You can find a place right now where we have adequate intelligence, there's not a real threat there.

Do you believe that current economic and diplomatic efforts to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability have been successful?

I've always observed this is one of the few good deals that we have.

Do you think that U.S. assistance, including blankets and food rations, that is not identified to the opposition as coming from the United States, is effective at countering the narrative that America is not doing anything to help the…

Secretary Hagel, has the Russia reset failed us on this significant issue?

The United States will continue to press Iraq to deny overflights for Iranian aircraft going to Syria.

If we don't supply the moderate opposition with arms, and the extremist elements of the opposition such as the al-Nusrah front continue to be well-supplied, won't the extremist elements control much of Syria if Assad is deposed?

Secretary Hagel, many commanders have said that if we could discriminate between moderate and extremist opposition forces within Syria, we should support them with lethal assistance.

I remain concerned about Iranian overflights and continue to press senior Iraqi officials to stop these shipments at every possible opportunity.

Secretary Hagel, what is our assessment of the number of Scud missiles that the Assad regime has remaining?

You could shoot a gun down the hallway of any Federal courthouse at 3:00 on any weekday afternoon and not hit anybody.

A clear and unambiguous commitment of U.S. and international support beyond 2014... would help reduce uncertainty and hedging by actors within Afghanistan and the region.
