"Operation Moshtarak is the first operation in Afghanistan where coalition planning has been fully integrated with our Afghan partners."

"We should remember, I think, that the early operations of the surge in Iraq were nearly all U.S.-planned, U.S.-led, and U.S.-fought."

"Key pillars of the Marjah campaign plan are to 'hold' and to 'build,' the civilian effort to help Afghans deliver better governance and economic opportunity once the Taliban is cleared out."

"As Senator McCain said, this is a work in progress."
