We’ll not take our eye off the terrorist threat. We’ll reorganize our counterterrorism capabilities and the substantial assets in the region to prevent reemergence of terrorists and the threat to our homeland from over the horizon. We’ll…

We cannot continue this cycle, of extending or expanding our military presence in Afghanistan, hoping to create ideal conditions, for the withdrawal and expecting a different result.
The easiest part is going to be taking it down. The hard part is going to be putting it together.
I will not pass this responsibility onto a fifth. I’ve concluded that it’s time to end America’s longest war. It’s time for American troops to come home.
