Lindsey Graham

The A-10 works today, but it is not going to work forever.

If we do not modernize our force, we will pay a price.

The reason we are not building 52 is because of money, not because demand.

He said I got to do something because I just do not have enough money, so I am going to, like, go from 52 to 40.

But Secretary Carter said we are going to build 40. Is it because of budgets?

Is there a Plan B, in terms of--if diplomacy fails, a Plan B for Syria that has a military component?

They're not doing their part.

If there's not a change in strategy to create a ground component that not only can hold Raqqa and put military pressure on Assad, this war never ends.

Do you agree that Obama will leave office and Assad will still be in power, January 2017?

I do support working--continuing to work with them, yes.

Do you support the arms sale to Saudi Arabia that's being proposed?

This institution, as Senator Lindsey Graham pointed out last week, is one of the greatest threats to American security.

Would you agree with me when you rank the threats to the military, you would have to put Congress and the President in that mix if we do not fix sequestration?

If sequestration goes into effect, are you going to lose marines?

Would you agree with me, General, that the Congress is going to shoot down more planes than any enemy that we can think of in the near term?

Do you want to do revenue to fix it? I will do revenue. But what I am not going to do is keep playing this silly game.

I find that as repugnant as what the House is doing.
