John McCain: “General Dempsey, how much do you think we will need to spend in Iraq and Afghanistan to sustain our operations there…”

I have to recognize that it has been this body, this Senate Committee, very important Committee on Indian Affairs that has been helping us.

These are not just any jobs. These are well-paying jobs that keep a lot of people employed.

I want to say to all of you that I am so honored to be here to speak before this Committee.

I'm the luckiest guy on earth. I have served America's cause, the cause of our security and the security of our friends, the cause of freedom and equal justice all my adult life.
