Jim Inhofe

We need to do a look-back and have justice served. But we need to look forward.

Anyone in any agency who puts their own interests above the country's interests will suffer the consequences.

It is our constitutional duty. We have oversight responsibility.

It hasn't been easy; I know it has taken an awful lot of time.

I had such strong feelings about it. And I happened to know at the time I was making those, and even to a lesser degree today it's true, that Alassane Ouattara's death squads are still roaming around the streets of Abidjan.

I strongly believe that the process of reconciliation in war-ravaged Cote d'Ivoire can begin only if Simone Gbagbo is given asylum.

I would like to have described to me the administration's position on entrenched political leaders.

I just returned yesterday from my 123rd African country visit in 15 years, and I'm very interested in what is going on here.

My feeling at that time was, even though--regardless of whose election votes you count, it was a close vote.

I believe one of the primary reasons for this hearing is to highlight the Obama administration's efforts to impose its green energy agenda on our military.

Forcing our military to take money away from core programs in order to invest in unproven technologies as part of a failed cap-and-trade agenda is not only wrong, it's reckless.

I have long been outspoken in my opposition to their use of the military to promote a green agenda at the expense of affordable energy.

The vast majority of the members of the House and the Senate, talking about the House and the Senate even back when the majority were Democrats, don't agree with that.

I don't share the opinions of Senator Boxer and Al Gore that global warming will be the leading cause of conflict in our world over the next 20 years.

Make no mistake, this Administration's policies are killing jobs, undermining the economy, and threatening America's long-term security.

Forcing DoD to expend more money on expensive alternative fuels further exacerbates its budget issues.

We know that reset is going to have to happen.

I think that should be a goal for those of us who are looking into the future, to make sure that that does happen.

As a Republican, I readily admit it was a Republican President that axed that program.

We will need that kind of support.

When we are out on the stump and talking to people, there is an assumption that the United States, or specifically the Army, has the best of everything.

EPA's war on hydraulic fracturing needs to stop.

It makes little sense for the EPA to continue to try and expand its jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.

What is more important is there appears to be nobody watching over or implementing the much needed reforms.

I would ask, how does the Administration's policy, as articulated in the new guidance, differ from the overreach that was overturned by the Supreme Court?
