"I do not like that we've had to commit more troops to Afghanistan. I had hoped that we could be able to bring down those troops."

"We only have one Commander in Chief, and I want to be supportive."

"I think there is a sense of loyalty and fierce commitment to local areas in nations like Afghanistan that we may not be fully respecting."
