Richard Shelby: “Doesn't that mean that the Iranian Government is still trying to develop nuclear weapons even as we speak?”

Deterrence requires spending our limited resources on both offensive and defensive weapons.

I remain concerned that the Air Force budget request is insufficient considering the needed modernization across the inventory with a rapidly evolving threat.

We have got to get our arms, one, around the inflation first, and then try to boost our defense capabilities in a dangerous world.

Regrettably, this was all predictable and avoidable.
