I commend you, Mr. Chairman, and you, Senator Menendez, for making sure that their voices continue to be heard.

General Neller, you have an exemplary record of service, and you're highly qualified for the position which you've been nominated.

Our counter-ISIL campaign will be long-term and employ all elements of American power.

I think continue to stay the course in the plan that General Campbell has and recognizing that is going to require continued resources and patience is the way for us to be successful.

The current global security environment is the most unpredictable he has seen during his military service.

I think our policy is to support a unified government in Baghdad and work with them so that they are able to integrate their ethnic communities.

I look forward to working with this committee, if confirmed, to make sure that all the legs of our nuclear triad are in place.
