"The administration's approach thus far has been too defined by short-term domestic political considerations. The administration has not led."

"It seems as though many of the President's most significant decisions about our national defense have been fundamentally disconnected from conditions on the ground."

"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?"
