John McCain: “It's not in our interest in any way to continue our dependency on Russian rocket engines.”

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

As stressed in the newly released National Defense Strategy, Russia and other adversaries have mastered the art of conducting a systematic aggression against the United States.

If John McCain were here, he'd be saying; Who can we fire? Why is this--this is a pure management problem, it seems to me.

He said he does not believe that someone who has that history in the program of waterboarding and other kinds of torture should lead the CIA.
