John Kerry actually said...

"We will work with the Afghan and Pakistani Governments to eliminate safe havens for those plotting against us, our allies, and our interests."

"The President was correct to define success in terms of our ability to empower and transfer responsibility to Afghans as rapidly as possible."

"Thank you very much for joining us. And we appreciate your coming to share more details about the President's plan."

"Our effort must come to an end someday, and someday soon, because, as President Obama says, our goal was never to occupy Afghanistan."
