Barack Obama actually said...

"This isn't just Jena's problem; it's America's problem."

"The time to end the surge and to start bringing our troops home is now - not six months from now."

"Our military cannot sustain its current deployments without crippling our ability to respond to contingencies around the world."

"Changing the definition of success to stay the course with the wrong policy is the wrong course for our troops and our national security."
