I don't think it is correct, but does that logic and I'll--Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Nee, please?

Thank you very much, Chairman and Commander Kirk, U.S. Navy.

It essentially accelerates this strategy of enhanced terrorism with enhanced nuclear capabilities, so it's not 10 years out, it's several years out.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

The agreement, no matter your position on it, is historic and, if implemented scrupulously, could serve as a strategic inflection point in the world's relations with Iran.

I commend the President and his negotiating team, from Cabinet officials to our Nation's scientists, for their persistence and hard work.

In the weeks ahead, Congress has a solemn obligation to carefully review the details of this historic agreement.

Which is a pretty good definition of a monopoly.

This whole market is based upon a monopoly of OPEC internationally.

I think what will happen is that you could have cheaper gasoline worldwide, but we would be producing at a loss in our refineries, and there would be pressure to close those refineries.

If their rights cannot be adequately protected, then the rhetoric is nice, but it is better to have the access to the rules and protections.

I have put legislation in to give authority for enforcement to the CFPB.

One of the prouder achievements in the Dodd-Frank Act was the Office of Servicemember Affairs.

To the Senator from Oklahoma, we have been trying to move forward on an equal basis in terms of pending amendments. At this juncture, I am not able to agree to make another amendment pending. There is a possibility that we spoke about…

It is critical that the U.S.-led 60-plus-nation coalition for defeating ISIL pursue a multidimensional approach.

We've all come to the conclusion we need American forces on the ground.

If we are truly at war against ISIL, as the President says, then we will continue to expect the Secretary of Defense to provide regular updates to the Senate Armed Services Committee on the progress of that war.

We need to put an end to Assad's ability to use airpower against his people, especially the use of horrific barrel bombs.

We need to help establish safe zones, inside Syria, where refugees and displaced people can be secure.

We have options between doing nothing and invading Iraq and Syria.

It is clear we are living in a time of unprecedented turmoil.

ISIL is not 10 feet tall. It can be and must be defeated.

I hope to hear one today.

I personally want to thank you for your service to the Nation, both of you, particularly, General Dempsey, as you conclude your uniformed service.

The unfortunate irony is that a President elected in opposition to the war in Iraq is repeating some of its worst strategic mistakes.
