General Dunford, do you believe our potential adversaries have that perception?

General Dunford, does our military have the capability and credibility to deter aggression around the globe?

The United States is being challenged because our comparative military and technological advantages over adversaries are eroding.

My initial assessment is yes. However, if Budget Control Act level cuts return, we will need to reassess our ability to execute the strategy with an acceptable level of risk.

I think he is absolutely right with regard to the war would continue whether or not we are there or not.

Going to a zero option next year would be playing roulette with Afghanistan's future.

I happened to be there when they had the election that resulted in, for the first time in 96 years, no communists serving in their parliament.

They are going to have to know that we are behind you.

Anyone, if you just listen today to all of these people that are running for President of the United States, when they talk about the military and they talk about the Department of Defense, they talk about waste, fraud, and abuse.

In such circumstances, it makes sense to adjust the regulations.

The men and women of our uniformed force and their families deserve our respect and commitment.

The All-Volunteer force has successfully supported our national security requirements particularly during the last 13 plus years of combat.

For the first time in 96 years, they don't have a Communist in their parliament in Ukraine.

I fail to see a strategy in terms of dealing with ISIL, with that force that is over there.

Even the President, after what happened yesterday, I am sure, is not talking about junior varsity anymore.

I agree with you, except I'm more concerned about today's war than I am the war after next.

I look and I agree with Senator Reed who talked about the inadequacy in meeting the threats.

If you run out of things to say, I will give you an idea.

Necessity is the mother of virtue or something like that.

Even though you know I am a frugal budget person, somehow we need to make this one work.

One of the few things that really does work well with the Federal Government is the way the Highway Trust Fund is set up.

It is going to be necessary to have a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure from the State in order to have the support necessary to get this through.

We will make it work.

You talked about certainty. This is always a problem that you have when you are dealing with government.

We are going to really enjoy this ride with you. I think you are the right guy at the most difficult time.
