I challenge you to send to us legislation that would deal with a problem that's 2 years away.

Just common sense tells you, if you're still in jail after all these years, you've had numerous review boards, that you're probably dangerous.

No one should be transferred because of the concept of end of hostilities.

Do you agree that the pro-American, pro-Western government in Yemen was toppled because of Iranian support for the Houthis?

Most of the countries that you spoke about all have a shared goal of removing Assad from power.

The only way you can keep them from coming back here to America is to stay over there, disrupt their operations.

Do you agree with me, the greatest threat of all is a radical Islamic nation-state with a nuclear weapon?

If we were to fail in stopping ISIL, I think you will see an expansion of ISIL not only across the Middle East but outside the Middle East.

If it doesn't, we are incredibly stupid as a nation.

There is no question in my mind that the young men and women that we have deployed right now... are protecting our Nation.

I agree with that, Senator, particularly in the case of aviation, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and probably special operations capabilities.

Do you agree with me that they are a very destabilizing influence in the Mideast, they're the largest state sponsor of terrorism, and we should know that?

Do you think AQAP [al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula] wants to hit us? Very definitely.

I do believe that is absolutely in our National interest to do that, Senator.

The Marine Corps, in my view, is the--for--pound for pound, the finest fighting force that we've ever created.

The only reason 3,000 Americans died on 9/11 is that the radical Islamists who attacked us could not find a way to kill more of us?

Do you believe that Iran is a radical Islamic nation-state?

If we impose sequestration and we fully implement by 2021, the Marine Corps will be in a bad spot.

There is no question it would create risk.

To celebrate Black History Month, I rise to recognize Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, one of the oldest and most prestigious Historically Black Colleges in the United States. The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical…

So at the end of the day, I do not want the tsunami to come, so we are going to have to stop these guys.

It's now time, in my view, to get real with where we stand as a Nation.

Would you agree they're the primary destabilizing influence right now in the Mideast, they're supporting extremist organizations that have toppled four Arab capitals?
