Joe Wilson

I am really grateful that Chairman Ed Royce and Ranking Member Eliot Engel were able to put this together.

Mr. Trott, thank you very much for your fresh freshman approach.

I hope the Senate will act on this measure.

Here, here. Thank you, Judge Poe. We appreciate your insight particularly on behalf of the people of Iran too.

Thank you all. And, again, our concern too for the people of the Iran. And so I am just hoping that, indeed, the President will change course.

I appreciate you raising the concern.

One of the worst consequences of this deal... is rising tension in the region.

The President's actions, the weakness that is being exhibited, is just bizarre.

This is worse than Munich.

If it is reached in the coming days, a nuclear deal with Iran will be, at best, an unsatisfying and risky compromise.

Death to America isn't domestic spin in Iran--it is the regime's rallying cry.

Even with sanctions in place, even with sanctions in place, Iran is still the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

I think it is preposterous that our people are held hostage while we are negotiating with them.

I think it would have been a heck of a lot better if Iran was told if you want to have serious negotiations with us, while we talk, you stop enriching.

I think what Prime Minister Netanyahu proposed of kill these negotiations, go back to sanctions, force them to come back to the table later, I do not think that will work.

Nuclear deterrence is important to our country. However, we have an obligation to deal with legacy Cold War radioactive waste.

You also indicate the importance of an inclusive Iraqi Army to counter the hollow force under previous Iraqi leader, yet the Iraqi Army has been unable to advance against Mosul and were not successful in maintaining control of Ramadi.

In your testimony, you call the suggestion of abandoning the central government in Baghdad and arming the Kurds and/or Sunni tribes directly as 'superficially appealing.'

We have continually failed to try to do a number of things that where there was a reasonable expectation that they might succeed.

The political situation in Iraq isn't just whatever the political situation in Iraq is. It is affected by what we do.

I think that having a black and white national level decision that says we are not going to do that, I think it's the wrong decision, and I think it handicaps our forces too much.

I look forward to working with you in a bipartisan manner on these issues.

I agree with you that we are in a generational conflict.

While often characterized as a terrorist organization, ISIL/Daesh fights and behaves like an army.

The President himself has acknowledged that we do not have a complete strategy to combat the threat.
