Afghanistan Quotes (page 4)

The true credit for our safety and security goes to our men and women who are serving in places like Iraq and Afghanistan in the global war on terrorism. Asa Hutchinson
We are particularly interested in the mental health programs and policies that support our troops and their families before, during, and after deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. John M. McHugh
Douglas Hurd quote: "It was essentially for self defence that we went to war in..."
It was essentially for self defence that we went to war in Afghanistan and would go to war in Iraq. Douglas Hurd
It's a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it's now or years from now, we'll have an incendiary situation. Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don't think that serves our strategic interests. Jon Huntsman, Jr.
I have a very deep concern about President Obama putting in another 21,000 troops into Afghanistan with the promise of more to come. George McGovern
I oppose the spending of trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan, I strongly oppose Islamic extremism but don't believe that sending troops to die in two unwinnable wars makes sense. Roger Stone
When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you've got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I'm not sure any country, either the United States or I don't hear of anyone else, who's willing to take on that responsibility. Colin Powell
We had a couple of minor coups that made a big difference. We snared away from a competitor a correspondent already on the ground in Afghanistan. That was an enormous help to us, because there we were. Brit Hume
Karen Hughes quote: "I'm also working with Mrs. Bush on some education projects in..."
I'm also working with Mrs. Bush on some education projects in Afghanistan, so I get to see her a great deal. Karen Hughes
Susan Davis quote: "The brave and capable women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan..."
The brave and capable women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan have performed admirably. Susan Davis
Dinesh D'Souza quote: "We can stay in Afghanistan and stabilize the situation, or we..."
We can stay in Afghanistan and stabilize the situation, or we can get out and win, or we can get out and lose. Dinesh D'Souza
Certainly the existence of these huge nuclear force was important for the ultimate confrontation, let's say, over western Europe. You just can't use them to deal with a situation like Afghanistan. Lloyd Cutler
The art of coalition command - whether it is here in Afghanistan, whether it was in Iraq or in Bosnia or in Haiti - is to take the resources you are provided with, understand what the strengths and weaknesses are and to employ them to the best overall effect. David Petraeus
President Obama has said that our aspirations should be realistic. We are not going to turn one of the poorest countries in the world, that was plunged into 30 years of war, into an advanced, industrialized, Western-style democracy. What we want to achieve is Afghanistan's capacity to secure and govern itself. David Petraeus
Instead, we did take our eye off the ball. We decided, instead of finishing the job in Afghanistan, to go into Iraq. And today, unfortunately, if you look at the situation on the ground, it is a mess. Chris Van Hollen
