The success of our Korean ally stands in stark contrast to the situation in the North, which has been deteriorating dramatically.
John McCain
The Public Record
John McCain was a prominent American politician and military officer who served as a United States Senator from Arizona from 1987 until his death in 2018. A member of the Republican Party, McCain was known for his bipartisan approach and commitment to national security. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he was a prisoner of war for over five years, an experience that shaped his political career and views on military and foreign policy.
I want to thank the witnesses for their testimony, also for their leadership, particularly in the time since the North Korean attack on the Cheonan.
The Chinese have not only not helped us with Korea over the years, they have been an obstacle to increased sanctions.
I think it's totally unacceptable that China is so unsupportive of strong action against North Korea.
That's an interesting comment on our intelligence capability in North Korea.
Yes, we will. The ability to exploit freedom of the seas has been a principle of our republic since the beginning.
Sir, they clearly have well over 200 long-range systems that could strike the heart of Seoul today.
General Sharp, what is your plan for spending that money, broken down by proposed investments on each military installation?
General Sharp, I have a question about the use of host nation funding provided to support our forces in Korea.
John McCain's point on that is that basically, you're undercutting -- John McCain, who praises the increase in number of troops going to Afghanistan, but says you're undercutting that by setting a withdrawal date, whether it's…
Have we got the right plan? The plan is perfect. You bring troops, state, county, and local law enforcement together.
I promise you, I will act always and only in what I believe to be the best interests of the state of Arizona and the country I love.
If I'm -- and if I'm privileged to win re-election I will continue to work night and day to help Arizonans and all Americans to overcome our present difficulties and succeed as we always have in building a better country.
We can't continue to ransom your futures and steal from your children, the sake of growing government beyond the size that is necessary or wise or wanted.
I will fight to do the one thing every American generation has done, to leave a better country to their children, than the one they inherited.
We will stop the out of control spending and tax increases and repeal and replace Obama care.
I am convinced that Republicans will win in November, and we will regain our majorities in both the Senate and the House.
Staggering unemployment, a devastated housing market, that shows little signs of improvement, and a river of red ink that threatens your prosperity and the prosperity of future generations of Americans.
This will be a consequential election. No one should have any doubt about that.
I promise you Republicans and independents who voted for me and those Arizonians who did not, I will do my best to prove worthy of the honor.
