John Kerry actually said...

"I believe the President exercised important leadership by taking the time he needed to make the right decision."

"The President was right to frame our commitment to Afghanistan in the context of all of our national priorities."

"Whether you agree with what we are doing or not, there should be no doubting, at home or abroad, this President's commitment to the success of this mission."

"Frankly, 8 years later, that's simply not good enough. We have largely expelled al-Qaeda from Afghanistan."
