“No nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all of history. Extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of the United States military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. That was the choice, the real choice between leaving or escalating. I was not going to extend this forever war. And I was not extending a forever exit. To those asking for a third decade of war in Afghanistan, I asked, what is the vital national interest, it was time to end this war. We will maintain the fight against terrorism. We just don`t need to fight a ground war to do it. And to ISIS-K, we are not done with you yet.”
