So I will move on and I'm going to reclaim my time.

General George, let's talk about a guy who's a patriot, somebody who every single person here in this dais and down there in that audience and out there in this world has huge admiration for.

Why did he get fired?

And ultimately, my impression is you thanked him by a text or a phone call.

You didn't even do it to his face.

So you think General George destroyed a culture?

You have no way of explaining why you fired one of the most decorated and remarkable men who's ever served a station.

We needed new leadership.

And so your answer is a very immature way of responding to my request.

Despite the fact that your recent comments indicate that operations appear to be finished, there clearly is more work that needs to be done.

As mentioned, today is indeed 60 days.

So, Mr. Secretary, how many more months, just order of magnitude, do you think that you're going to need to be able to conclude operations successfully?

And how many more billions of dollars do you think you're going to ask this body for?
