"The American people must understand that this is a long, hard slog we're in in Afghanistan."

"I'm convinced that leaving a larger force in place in the short run will permit us to make greater reductions later."

"The United States supports the increased participation of NATO Allies in addressing the narcotics challenge in Afghanistan."

"Convincing our Allies to provide more civilian experts and other resources is a key priority in developing Afghan capabilities to sustain itself in the future."
