I question whether we're adequately resourcing some other critical places around the world that I've spent a fair amount of time studying.

I am disappointed that he's decided to escalate our military presence and did not give any goal or timeframe for when our massive military operations in Afghanistan will actually end.

Is there now a comprehensive integrated strategy that has been agreed to be the interagency?
