Let the negotiations go forward without sanctions, but when a deal is reached, would it be okay with both of you if Congress, under the 123 section of the Atomic Energy Act, had a chance to review it?

Whatever chance there is to get a deal with Iranian nuclear ambitions, we should take.

I will be supporting their bill. I will gladly support the bill. I am not pleased with every aspect of it, but let me respond to my good friend from Massachusetts. You are tired, you are frustrated, you are upset about a provision in the…

I join in the objection with Senator Inhofe. I appreciate what Senators Inhofe and Levin have done over the last couple of years, working in a bipartisan fashion, to make sure we deal with a problem in the military that is a problem in…

Thank you very much. I have been a military lawyer for over 30 years. That has been one of the highlights of my life--to serve in the Air Force. During the debate about these techniques, I was very proud of the fact that every military…

I ask unanimous consent to yield back all time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Under the previous order, the question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the nomination of Nani A. Coloretti, of…

I ask unanimous consent that at a time to be determined by the two leaders, but no later than November 24, 2014, the Committee on Foreign Relations be discharged from further consideration of S. 2650, that the Senate proceed to its…

I will be asking a unanimous consent request to bring up S. 2650, the Corker-Graham-McCain-Ayotte-Rubio legislation. Senator Murphy, I think, is going to speak here in a second, but if I may do two things: I wish to reserve 20 minutes of…

I appreciate my colleague very much for speaking in a way so we can all have time on the issue. No. 1, about the chilling messages, this is a chilling message from the Supreme Leader of Iran about 3 days ago: Nine questions about the…

I will be very quick. I will vote for the continuing resolution because I do not want to shut the government down. I agree with Senator McCain that this is not the right process, but we are where we are. I think the issue people are…

I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the contributions of Combined Joint Interagency Task Force, CJIATF, 435. On October 1, 2014, CJIATF 435 will conclude a 5-year mission in Afghanistan to conduct U.S. law of armed conflict…

Do we have time remaining? Mr. McCAIN. How much time remains? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republicans currently have 67 minutes remaining.

You take all the territory they hold, you take Mosul and Fallujah away from them.

I'm a very robust Article 2 guy, but I think this is a pretty robust reading of the current AUMF.

What does it mean to the world if we take on ISIL and they defeat the people we send in to take them all? That's a bad day for us, do you agree?

The goal is to destroy ISIL and all they represent.

Do you agree with me this is probably our last best chance to put these guys in a box and keep them there?

So, really, it's mankind against ISIL, it's just not us against ISIL or Sunni Arab states against ISIL.

It's better for us to be part of that somebody than just to be the only ones doing it.

This is a war we're fighting. It is not a counterterrorism operation. This is not Somalia. This is not Yemen. This is a turning point in the war on terror. Our strategy will fail yet again. This president needs to rise to the occasion…

I remember getting a phone call from then-Secretary Clinton asking me and Senator McCain and Senator Levin to go to Iraq and see if we could intervene and help the Iraqis make a decision about a residual force because we thought it was in…

Thank you. If I may, this is the anniversary of 9/11. Thirteen years ago on this date our country was attacked by radical Islamists who don't want your car, they don't want your bank account, they don't want your television. They are not…

Absolutely. Mr. McCAIN. I note the presence of our colleague from California, so I will make it short. Last night I had an exchange with the former spokesperson for the White House, and again this issue came up and the assertion, the…
