I yield myself 1 minute just to make two quick points. Mr. Speaker, first of all, we will have a motion to recommit that takes the money out of OCO and puts it into the base budget. So this is a problem that our bill could fix. We didn't…
Our outside experts sort of basically said that the strategy is sound. It is the implementation that is key.
I am really worried that if we in their minds abdicate the leadership that we have taken in this agreement...
Explicitly in the agreement is Iran agreeing to never build a nuclear weapon.

shouldn't we be shifting a lot of our focus to that and basically saying to Baghdad, time's up?
Politicians like Adam Smith
