John McCain actually said...

"We cannot simply subordinate our Pakistan strategy to our Afghanistan policy."

"I believe that we need in Afghanistan a counterinsurgency strategy focused on providing security for the population..."

"If we change our policies, the situation on the ground too will change."

"We have to make some tough decisions, or you, Mr. President, are going to have to make some tough decisions about not only what we procure, but how we procure it."
