Well, thank you for your service and to all those under your command. You have done a great job.

The continent of Africa is underpowered.

I think that has been a great breakthrough.

Right. And we have a transition plan to put Afghans in control of Afghanistan. Is that correct?

Senator Leahy and I are very much concerned about what is going on in Egypt right now.

We urge the Congress to enact balanced deficit reduction legislation that avoids sequestration.

Well, between Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama, how would you rate our efforts to control mother-to-child AIDS transmission?

I have always believed that we are fighting an idea, not just a person, that killing bin Laden is a great accomplishment for the United States.

Americans, it's been 1,044 days since the United States Senate has passed a budget for America. Back in 2009, the average American family spent $173.80 a month on gasoline. In 2011, that number had risen to $368.09 a month on gasoline…

Is it fair to say that, of all the things that we should be concerned about, cyber attacks from foreign governments and terrorists is a growing threat by the day?

So if we captured somebody involved in a cyber attack that was affiliated with al Qaeda, they would be treated differently than a common criminal.

Would you consider a cyber attack generated from the People's Liberation Army of China against our national security infrastructure, should that be considered a hostile act?
