"From Israel's standpoint, one of the worst nightmares for them, short of an Iranian nuclear weapon, would be Hezbollah getting advanced weapons sold to Assad by Russia."

"If I were the Iranians, I would send a thank you note to Congress for grounding more Air Force planes than they could on their own."

"It would lead to what I believe would be a fractured state, a larger safe haven for al Qaeda types, and over time would be a disaster."

"What signal would that be sending to our troops and to our enemies? What kind of national security impact would it be in the times in which we live if there was no agreement to fund the Government?"
