John McCain

Senator McCain tries a new tactic in his effort to defeat a conservative challenger, J.D. Hayworth.

President Obama is hosting a two-day Nuclear Security Summit in Washington.

What, if anything, are you doing to ensure that openness and transparency across the military departments, in particular?

Drill, baby drill. Good move.

John McCain has said this week, defended Palin in saying this kind of rhetoric and symbolism has always been used in politics.

We failed because the American people were not convinced that we were really going to secure our borders.

You can put lipstick on a pig, Mr. President, but this is still a pig.

We're not there to, as they were concerned about, to take them over: Here comes big America.

We need to have a better presence on the continent.

Isn't it true that the survey said in a preamble, that it is considering changes to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that "would allow gay and lesbian servicemembers to serve in the military without risk of separation because of their…

I trust that AFRICOM will continue to deliver its unique brand of interagency theater security cooperation and building partner capacity.

I predict that this committee and you will be spending a great deal of time on this whole issue of cyber warfare.

I don't think there's an expectation that there is going to be a wholesale withdrawal out of the Helmand next summer.

To believe that this is somehow going to hasten success, when the fact is that it enhances dramatically the chances of failure.
