We are going to send more troops in and we are going to win this war.

I think what America has done and what the Western world has done in Afghanistan has been frankly pretty amazing.

I believe it can serve as a model for problem solving across the partisan divides, which we kind of need nowadays.

Promoting the facts outside of the light of partisan politics will be crucial.

Improving energy efficiency in America will play a pivotal role in increasing U.S. energy productivity and making America more energy secure.

If you find yourself down in enemy lines, rest assured your country will move heaven and earth to come get you.
