John McCain

I really believe that if there's one proposal the president resonated outside the foreign policy issues is this dependency on foreign oil.

I don't believe so. I think the president is staying the course. And I do believe that he stated very clearly when he said troop withdrawals would be dictated by conditions on the ground.

I was pleased that he talked about the need for honesty and integrity in government. He talked about that. He also did bring up the so-called earmarking, which is the pork-barrel projects, and his opposition to it.

I think there's a system here that breeds corruption. That's why you have Congressman Cunningham who has pled guilty already and other scandals which we're going to hear more about. It's a system where this, quote, 'earmarking,' which is…

Senator John McCain will join us.

I look forward to working with you and Senator Lieberman and the entire Committee to develop the strongest possible lobbying and ethics reform package.

We should not forget that we, as Members of Congress, owe it to the American people to conduct ourselves in ways that reinforce rather than diminish the public's faith and confidence in Congress.

It is disgraceful, this process.

We are more than eager to accept additional changes, and we need to do that in a bipartisan fashion.

We are not going to fix this system until we fix the earmarks.

I want to thank you and Senator Lieberman for holding this important hearing.

I praised President Bush for his resolve against terrorism.

Protecting local populations will create safe areas where civil society can emerge.

Yes, I still think we need additional troops and I will not change that view.

Well the end game is a functioning -- flawed, but functioning government in Iraq, with the Iraqi military able to take over our responsibilities.

I think it's probably an aberration, but there have been documented cases, as you say, of even death under interrogation and that's why we got to stop it.

I have not talked to a single senior officer who opposes this amendment.

I think it's a definitional thing and that's why we need specific interrogation techniques put into the Army Field Manual.

Senator McCain called for the administration to revamp its strategy in Iraq, and do a better, more honest job of explaining it to the country.

To torture someone is just not what the United States of America is about.

He's sponsoring a bill on limiting torture in wartime that puts him squarely in opposition to the president.

Senator John McCain is going to speak out tomorrow on winning the war in Iraq.

We should have an overall administrator, someone like Rudy Giuliani, Jack Welch, Lou Gerstner, Colin Powell, we need an overall administrator, the go-to guy that can tell everybody what to do or woman -- Saved.

Why is the price of copper at an all-time high? The Chinese are buying every scrap of copper that's available. Supply and demand.

I've been with the president when he has met with the families. And he has expressed, I think incredibly, his sympathy, and his concern, and his love for the men and women who have sacrificed and their families.
