Dana was touching on it.

It's fair to ask what comes next.

I think that the president clearly has a hemispheric focus.

We've been talking around his table about how critical that is for a number of things.

Foremost, we talked about it helping to stem the flow of illegal immigration from some of these countries where there's not a lot of opportunities, not rule of law.

And frankly, it's just dangerous.

I think we give the president some time.

I think this this issue here.

deserves a transition period for him to be able to begin to articulate some of the things that, if not all the things that Kennedy mentioned, because if we're going to get rule of law there, if we're going to get a decrease in drug flows there, if not an altogether elimination, if we're going to get electoral and political integrity, it's going to take some time, but it's also going to take a president.

I hate to repeat what I said yesterday, but I will.

He had an opportunity today before the House Republicans to begin to lay out a vision, to begin to lay out what the plan is going to look like.

I hope it does not involve a massive military presence.

But if his plan needs that, we should know, as the American people, what it is he wants to accomplish intermediately there and long term.

Because if long term we want peace and prosperity, that may cost a lot of money.

Because it's not just going to be Venezuela we have to do it.

They can't sit as an island.

We would hope they would serve as a template for the entire hemisphere.

So I applaud his hemispheric focus.

I don't know what the plan is.

I don't know what the doctrine is.
