John Kerry actually said...

We have made clear to Afghans, and to the region, that the security transition does not mean we are abandoning Afghanistan.

It is really an investment on preserving the gains that we have made on the field at great cost through our own efforts on security.

All Afghans, whatever their gender, ethnicity or religion, have much to gain from a successful political transition.

We want Pakistan to be a full partner in supporting Afghan peace and stability.
