JOHN YOUNG: “The President of the United States needs to exercise his executive authority, cut through the red tape, and order these…”

I believe it is critical for the defense acquisition executive to serve with the affirmation of the United States Senate.

The President said it's like a war. We ought to treat it like a war.

It's just like a hostage crisis. We're on day 77, we've been hostage -- taken hostage by the oil, and we're also hostage to bureaucratic red tape.

It appears to be that they intentionally misled us, because there have been memos discovered which showed other than what they have told us.
