"the right commander to take over the vital mission in Afghanistan."

"The only way forward is for the government and the opposition to engage in a dialogue, and you can't have a real dialogue when parts of the peaceful opposition are in jail."

"The United States will ensure that all risks associated with attacking or exploiting our networks vastly outweigh the potential benefits."

"I support the so-called 'transition strategy', which calls for Afghan security forces to take more and more of the lead in providing for their country's security."
