We have continued to make clear to the Russian government that we oppose the delivery of the S-300 and believe it would be a destabilizing and counterproductive step given Iran's refusal to live up to its international obligations.

How will DOD's current review of CERP affect the timeline of the implementation of the GAO recommendations?

I think we're going to have the same situation in Afghanistan. Aren't there air strips in Afghanistan that are certainly more friendly to a C-17 than a C-5?

I think it's maybe one of the reasons Iran is not taking us as seriously as they should.

I'm a little worried that our talk of sanctions has been too much talk, and that we haven't even followed up within our military contracts to make sure we're not contracting with people who are doing business with Iran, especially in the…

They're serving bravely and well. We don't have any kind of issues with morale and cohesiveness surrounding their service.

Are you aware of any morale issues or disciplinary problems surrounding the current service of gay and lesbian Americans as members of our military?

I want to compliment you and General McChrystal and everyone for realizing that we had the wild west of contracting in Iraq.

So the issue isn't whether or not gay and lesbian Americans are serving in the military. It's whether or not we talk about it.

I think we're at the number 300,000 troops, and there has been no indication that we're going to build an army above 300,000.

First, are gay and lesbian Americans currently serving in our military?

How will the new PAA approach provide added protection to our friends in the Gulf?

In fact isn't the foundation of the current policy that we welcome their service?

General Petraeus, how many CERP projects does CENTCOM currently have that are over $500,000 and how many are under $5,000?

I think we are all painfully aware of the suicide problem that we have.

I applaud you all for your efforts in getting New START signed. That is a great step with Russia and an important step related to nuclear arms reductions.

Is Israel more protected by the new system?

What is the status of the creation of the common USAID/DOD database to track projects?

Is this system integrated with our efforts in Israel?

This goal should unite our country, not divide it.

I think my sense is what the American people want is for our military and our intelligence and our law enforcement community to have all the tools possible to get both good information and justice.

We want to catch these guys, and we want to put them away where they can never hurt anyone.

I appreciate the fact that you all are making this happen.

I think we are going to lose the ability to use all those tools if we do not reassure the American people that there is a process in place that these decisions are being made with the right people in the room.

I am very proud of our justice system in this country.
