Doesn't mean...that we are abandoning anybody or any part of the world.

We will assure that every military man and woman and their families are given exactly the same opportunities and rights as each other and all members of the Armed Forces.

You have my strong commitment.

Absolutely, I've made that very clear.

Israel's borders must be secure.

It's part of what's been talked about and defined in, as I said, the 2006 Quartet Principles and U.N. resolutions.

I said it, and I don't remember the context or when I said it.

I think I've been very clear on that point all day today. You have described it accurately.

I do know that Iran is not exactly a model democracy and it has not been.

I should have used 'recognized'. That's the more appropriate term.

I always have hope that people respond in a sane way.

I surely don't understand Iranian politics.

The emphasis on accountability I don't think can ever be overstated.

Absolutely essential to our future that we maintain a strong, growing, credible military industrial base.

I will make that commitment to do everything I can to first understand the specifics, which I don't know all the details.

As long as there is the threat of nuclear weapons... we have to maintain a safe, secure, and effective nuclear arsenal to deter any adversaries.

My support of Israel's security is and always has been very clear. I strongly support Israel.

Absolutely. Again, I noted that in my opening statement, Senator. I think I have some experience in that area over the years. I'm committed to that.
