you are going to see a very large exodus of members of the Guard and Reserve because of the incredible deployment burden.

Does not all of this bother you, Mr. Secretary, that this incestuous relationship went on between Boeing, the United States Air Force, the Secretary of the Air Force in particular, and Mr. Sambur, and none of these people have been called…

The debacle cannot all be blamed on the Intelligence Community.

The security of the United States of America is in good hands today with its military.

I have no doubt that if our troops need the money Congress will provide it.

I am convinced that the President of the United States did the right thing in Iraq, let there be no doubt.

Unfortunately, we haven't seen a single thing done by the United States Air Force to correct this kind of situation, which evolved in a most scandalous fashion.

I think we have a responsibility, frankly, representing the Senate here, as just a committee of the Senate, in insisting on these documents.

However, that money should have been part of the budget before us, not left to a supplemental and therefore not part of the projected budget deficit.

I am certainly glad to hear of the increase of 30,000 members in the United States Army.

Does it bother you when the Secretary of the Air Force calls in the Boeing lobbyist--these are according to the e-mails that we got from Boeing and why we need your e-mails, Mr. Secretary--and says, "You have to put pressure on Mike Wynne."

His conclusion is a devastating refutation of the Bush administration's case for war in Iraq and seriously undermines our credibility in the world.
