One of the big misconceptions--so let's get rid of that misconception, that we're not nation building in Afghanistan.

I show up every 18 months and ask the same questions and we get the same answers, but the numbers are bigger every time I ask the question.

That sounds a little dubious to me if there are 60,000 of them still there.

This notion that we've routed them and they're all gone and if we leave they might come back, that sounds a little dubious to me.
