Afghanistan Quotes (page 3)

We are not in Afghanistan for the sake of the education policy in a broken 13th-century country. We are there so the people of Britain and our global interests are not threatened. Liam Fox
There is a difference between a military mission and the aspiration for the long-term plans for the country. What we want is a stable enough Afghanistan, able to look after its own security so we can leave without the fear of it imploding... But let's be clear - it's not going to be perfect. Liam Fox
Jim Fowler quote: "There's no country in the world that's more devastated from..."
There's no country in the world that's more devastated from natural resources than Afghanistan. Jim Fowler
Barack Obama's life was so much simpler in 2009. Back then, he had refined the cold act of blaming others for the bad economy into an art form. Deficits? Blame Bush's tax cuts. Spending? Blame the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. No business investment? Blame Wall Street. John Sununu
Joschka Fischer quote: "India has been contributing very much to the reconstruction of..."
India has been contributing very much to the reconstruction of Afghanistan; we are strongly engaged there. Joschka Fischer

R. Lee Ermey quote: "For me, it's an honor for the military to ask me to go to..."
For me, it's an honor for the military to ask me to go to Iraq, Afghanistan, or GITMO. I'm happy to go. R. Lee Ermey
Obama is making a choice now that will lead to the deaths of many thousands of civilians in Afghanistan by American hands. By ordinary standards of presidents, he is a decent man. But those standards aren't good enough. He's in a position either to kill or not to kill, and he's made the decision to kill. Daniel Ellsberg
The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines, and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan. Jared Diamond
Many soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from serious, long-term, physical and mental health problems, due to their service. It is unconscionable to cut the already limited health care benefits available to these brave men and women. Mark Dayton
Anthony Principi quote: "Kids coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan deserve to come..."
Kids coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan deserve to come back to 21st century medical care. Anthony Principi
We can be proud of our record as an international beacon of liberty. From fostering democracies in Eastern Europe to the stabilization of Iraq and Afghanistan, we have been true to that calling and helped spread freedom to oppressed peoples everywhere. Kay Bailey Hutchison
