John McCain: “We need to be clear that we stand against this and that we stand with our allies.”

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.

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

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

We owe each other our respect as long as our character merits respect.
