There are problems in the world today.

I seek as much as I can to mitigate risk.

None of us wants any more war.

We need to have a commander-in-chief who knows what she is doing.

One would think that if you're anonymous, you'd do anything you want, but groups have their own sense of community and what we can do.

And across Afghanistan, every single day, Afghan soldiers, Afghan police and ISAF troops are serving shoulder-to-shoulder in some very difficult situations. And our engagement with them, our shoulder-to-shoulder relationship with them, our conduct of operations with them every single day defines the real relationship.

Afghanistan is going to be here a long time, and what's critical is that Afghanistan's relationship with its neighbors are, to the maximum extent they can be, constructive and operationally useful.
