Political Quotes

“Does the gentleman agree that Israel not only has a right to defend itself--and I was thankful to hear the President at least utter those words, that they have a right to defend themselves. Does he not agree with me that they have a duty, a responsibility to defend themselves in the same way that we would if 1,500--well, actually, up to 3,300 rockets have been launched by Hamas in the last 8 days. Can you imagine what the American people will be saying and doing if I was sitting in San Antonio or Austin and 3,300 rockets were coming at us from Nuevo Laredo, from across the border in Mexico? Would we just be sitting back and saying, well, I mean, I wonder what kind of proportionate response should look like? Or would you just be responding back with overwhelming force to say under no circumstances do you shoot one rocket into our country, much less 3,300?”
