Famous quotes by Jay Rockefeller:

"Pat Roberts and I both feel very strongly that when we get to Iran, that we can't make the same mistakes. We have to ask the questions, the hard questions before, not afterwards, and get the right intelligence."

"Allowing the U.N. into Iraq will demonstrate to the Iraqis that the international community as a whole is committed to bringing stability and safety to their country."

"Grassley is a very good chairman, very fair, and he tries his very best to be bipartisan, ... But the Senate Finance Committee is made up of a lot of 'true believers' that people should exercise personal responsibility, that the governors will do the right thing... For them, it's about balancing the budget. For me, it's about taking care of a huge chunk of West Virginia... I was a governor, and this makes me very nervous."

"I really expected that when this hearing came, the new director of national intelligence would be here to talk about threats,"

"a man of character, conviction and kindness ... was a classic American intellectual -- a man with a brilliant and probing mind, yet entirely approachable and pragmatic."

"There should be another chair before us, with an accompanying name card that reads director of national intelligence,"

"I just question whether what you did in Utah sort of says, 'Well, we can do this in all of America,' ... I would suggest to you that in Appalachia and other areas they can't, and I would urgently hope that you would think about this matter now that you have the entire country's population very much at your mercy or at your help."

"We have a moral obligation to tackle television violence and provide parents with the tools to make their children safer,"

"One of my problems, so to speak, is that, in America, we tend to thing in relatively short-term. In the Middle East and Asia and other parts of the world, they think in terms of centuries or 500 years or 1,000 years."

"I think not taking Iran seriously is an enormous mistake. I've always felt that it was much more of a problem than Iraq was."

"One of my problems, so to speak, is that, in America, we tend to think in relatively short-term. In the Middle East and Asia and other parts of the world, they think in terms of centuries or 500 years or 1,000 years."

"The president's economic plan doesn't do enough to create new jobs and that has to be a national priority. While there are some signs the economy is improving, it is not translating into jobs."

"We have to bring stability to Iraq, otherwise we will be faced with a future dilemma of sending our loved ones into harms way to stop a civil war or the rise of a new tyrant born from the instability that we created."

"One year after the United States led the invasion of Iraq, the country remains extremely dangerous not only to our troops, but also to the stability of the world."

"We were told by the president that we had no alternative but to go into Iraq because of the threat that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction posed, but to date, these weapons have not been found."

"Iran is nothing but trouble, and always has been that."
