John McCain actually said...

"Unfortunately, this defense budget continues the administration's habit of putting short-term political considerations over our long-term national security interests."

"If it is as catastrophic as you state, then why don't we sit down?"

"I want to thank Congress and the distinguished members of this committee, especially Senators Levin and McCain, for your continued support to our men and women in uniform."

"I appreciate courageous decisions. I think we ought to have an assessment as to whether we are succeeding or failing."
