Barack Obama actually said...

"The President-elect has repeatedly asserted that we must more effectively integrate our military and civilian tools of national power."

"President-elect Obama has proposed a new strategy for Afghanistan with several elements: First, end the war in Iraq responsibly and send additional troops to help complete the mission in Afghanistan."

"These initiatives help create a model for individual responsibility and collective action to the Clinton Global Initiative, bringing people together to take on tough global challenges."

"We are guided by unchanging truths: That all people are created equal; that each person has a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
