It's enough that it's opportunistic. In other words, we're in a conflict with one, and the other sees that this is an opportunity.

Our responsibility is to be straightforward with you all. You're the ones that appointed us, you're the ones that we answer to.

The first thing we've got to do is have a conventional capability which is so dominant that no party would ever consider a nuclear attack against the United States.

We have to make decisions now to make sure that we have the capacity to build whatever we're going to need to build.
