The American people don't want to stay in that part of the world.

What happens when a private initiative is no longer an option? Would the government need to step in?

Is it prudent for the world to solely bank on the success of these nongovernment efforts?

But what happens when something does not work, or when donations or investor contributions do not materialize?

This is a serious threat to the--not only to the well-being but even, perhaps, to the survival of humankind on this planet, and it deserves us to work together and to do so in a cost-effective way.

Perhaps this private sector group here that doesn't receive any of our government money is showing us how we can keep some of the costs down.

I would like to agree with Chairman Hall and his recommendation that we work with you and Members of both sides of the aisle to try to find international cooperation on an effort that deserves to be not just the responsibility of the…

This is a slap in the face to the useful idiots all over the world that think you can buy off totalitarian enemies by being friends with them.

I think we have been proven correct in those aggressive oppositions to that policy.

Let me just say we act like idiots. I mean the idiots are the people who do favors for their enemies.

I would never suggest they are in favor of a peaceful transition. They are basically in a relationship with Pakistan, which I think is highly provocative.

And Congressman Duncan, go right ahead.

They would like to replace it with American equipment

Just to note, our own Government, along with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, bear a huge responsibility for the fact that the Taliban existed in the first place.

Radical Islam threatens us all. We should be supplying those courageous opponents of those who threaten us.
