"Readiness is my top overarching priority."

"Against this real threat, our Nation is committed to the security of South Korea and to our national interests."

"We know how real the North Korean threat is as 4 years ago tomorrow, North Korea fired a torpedo sinking the South Korean ship Cheonan killing 46 sailors."

"I guess another potential area to deal with that threat is to improve our capacity with regard to missile defense."
