The U.S. Forces that are on the peninsula are prepared to carry out their mission of fight tonight in the event of a conflict.

Is it not a fact that Argentina has refused to settle its defaulted debt even though when the bonds were issued, they pledged to submit to U.S. court judgments and waive their sovereign immunity?

I continue to be concerned that the court's ruling could upset the orderliness and predictability of the sovereign debt restructuring process.

We do not condone Argentina's behavior. We have urged Argentina to honor its commitments.

We protect our rights, maintain our friendships and our alliances and keep our naval fleet strong over there so that we can protect our interests but in a way that for us is nonconfrontational too.

I must say I am a little concerned at some of your answers. It is not that the Chinese are proud as we are proud.

Our policy is not to contain China. On the contrary, I think we see a growing economy that we can be trade partners with.

I think that there are absolutely signs of an erosion of checks and balances in Hungary.

Our strategic interests are to work collaboratively as NATO allies, to work to promote and protect the security for both countries and for the world.

Do you believe that we should be providing the Ukrainians with defensive weapons?

I do not believe she is qualified. I believe that she can't articulate a strategy for the defeat of ISIS.

I want to know what the strategy is, which entails what we deploy, what forces are necessary, what actions need to be taken.

That's not a strategy.

Our strategy against ISIL is, first and foremost, to defeat that organization across both of our----

I'm asking do we have a proposal?

It's very regrettable because we have five nominees, the most I've ever seen, in a very truncated process here.

I think that it is the unanimous opinion of every military leader that I have met that continued sequestration on the path we're on could have devastating effects on our ability to defend this Nation.

Would you agree that perhaps one of the greatest responsibilities that Congress and the military has today is to review this sequestration and its effects that it is having long-term on our ability to defend this Nation?

Obviously, that has to have an effect on morale of our officer corps.

The fact is that we need a conditions-based decision because we right now are not confident that the Afghans can take up the complete burden of their own security.

In fact, we were told recently in Kabul by Afghan military officers, they say, 'You are abandoning us.'

Isn't it a fact that as long as the Taliban have basically a sanctuary in Pakistan that this situation will remain extremely complex and dangerous?
