"diplomacy without military force behind it is like music without instruments."

"We are looking at our CENTCOM footprint."

"the failure to reach agreement or the inability to reach agreement, causing the total withdrawal of our troops at the end of this year, was not a success but a failure."

"The expectation was that a residual force would remain at the expiration of the SOFA at the end of this year, 2011."
