The possibility that Iran could develop nuclear capability is a direct threat to the United States and certainly to the Middle East even more directly.

I think we could do much more to push out the Assad regime and to help ensure that a future Syria is stable.

For as long as Iran is persuaded that we want the nuclear talks more than they do, they are never going to give us anything.

We are playing Iran's game and we should stop playing Iran's game.

If we can't access rare earth materials on the floor of the sea, we are going to be put at a significant competitive disadvantage.

This is a vitally important issue, and we are spending time on a subject matter that I think we sometimes don't do enough on in Washington.

We have got to get our act together as a country in our own permitting processes, in our own political will, and ability to produce our own energy.
