TRANSCRIPT:
MCCAIN: "First of all, I see no need for a restoration of the draft. The all-volunteer force is working. The problem with the all volunteer force is it's not big enough. And one of the many mistakes made as part of the "peace dividend" by both President Clinton and President Bush was that we didn't expand the military. We didn't have a big enough military to handle the challenges we face, we must do that, we're in two wars. Um, I agree with President Bush we cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. And I have many options, serious and effectives ones, that can be employed against Iran by a League of Democracies, and I've talked to the British Prime Minister, the French president, and others about how we can join a League of Democracies, impose meaningful trade, diplomatic financial sanctions on the Iranians and modify their behavior, so that they would not, so they would be persuaded that it's not in their national interests to acquire nuclear weapons."
