Barack Obama actually said...

"Afghanistan is now on a path towards sustainable self-reliance in security, governance, economic and social development."

"The necessary outcomes of any peace and reconciliation process are for individuals and entities to break ties with al-Qaeda; renounce violence; and abide by the Afghan Constitution."

"Our goal is to destroy Al Qaida, and we are on a path to do exactly that."

"This agreement sends a very powerful message."
