Barack Obama actually said...

"We are our brother's keeper; that we are our sister's keeper."

"Well, look, as commander in chief, obviously I reserve the option to do what I think is going to be best for the American people at that point in time and our national security."

"The answer is that, in the absence of a deadline, the message we are sending to the Afghans is, it's business as usual, this is an open-ended commitment."

"Yes. That's why it won't happen again."
