Take your f***ing tampon out and tell me what you have to say.

Deliberation is a good thing when it comes to fighting wars.

Everybody knows they're on the Obama team: There isn't vice presidential vs. presidential division, there's not a generational pull. People have internalized that this is a real moment in history.

I mean,you will have an Afghan government. There are two roads here. One is obviously a run-off election or a negotiated settlement. But what's most important about that process is that there's a credibility and a legitimacy to the government at the end of that process. So which road they choose, that's up to them. It must have - be legitimate and credible in the eyes of the Afghan people.

I do not believe that a counterterrorism strategy all by itself, without a sufficient level of counterinsurgency, will work.

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
