"We didn't just cut our way to a balanced budget, we grew our way there."

"We have convinced our NATO allies... to put in a lot more troops and a lot more civilian assets."

"We were not succeeding, we were not failing. We were just marking time."

"Our foreign policy in recent times has been characterized by the fact that we were attacked by al-Qaeda and therefore we responded by going into Afghanistan."
