I cannot understand why the administration chose to begin a major war knowing that our troops did not have enough body and vehicle armor.
Well, I have to tell you, Mr. Secretary, this seems to me to be an abuse, a serious abuse, of supplemental appropriations requests.
Promoting efficiency and preventing fraud in defense acquisitions will obviously be a high priority.
I want to be sure that none of that money can be used for making wars elsewhere.
