I understand that the BE-4 engine under development will use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as its propellant instead of kerosene as is used in the Russian RD-180.

If so, is there anything that can be done to stop this type of transaction which appears to greatly benefit the Russian Government?

It has come to my attention that payments for RD-180 rocket engines may be made to the Russian company NPO Energomash.

I can't thank you enough. That's about as direct testimony as ever heard from this Committee.

Does the buildup of ISIL and other related al Qaeda-type groups present a threat to our European allies?

Would it be an encouraging sign to Russia that we are less committed to Europe?

Please do not repeat these mistakes by reducing our forces in Afghanistan because you will get the same result, probably worse.

I just want to say for the record to the President, you ignored sound military advice when it came to Iraq to keep a residual force.

There is no legal authority for the United States Forces in Afghanistan to hold someone under United States control as an enemy combatant.

It is important that we be seen to have won in Afghanistan.

I just want to put Afghanistan in perspective.

From a national security point of view, we should be able to independently operate against ISIL in Afghanistan.

I just want the American people to know that we are not going to let Iraq happen in Afghanistan.

I want to applaud the administration for allowing our military to go after ISIL as if they were al Qaeda.

I think that makes perfect sense. If I am in the Army, I do not want to tell the enemy, after 3 years, we are going to have to stop and start all over again.

I think my preference would be not to have a limitation.

I think that is an absolutely reasonable request. Do you agree that it would be good, if Congress would do it?

His military record I think stands as one of the greatest in recent memory.

I hope there is bipartisanship for this approach.

Do we need people on the ground in Libya?

Is ISIL an imminent threat to the United States?

I blame Obama for ISIL, not Bush. I miss George W. Bush.

As commander-in-chief, I will do everything in my power to make sure that he can win. As president, we will win.

We're at war folks, they're not trying to steal your car, they're trying to kill us all.

I will support the Republican nominee, whoever he or she may be.
