"The fact is that Afghanistan always was the place where it was of greatest intensity. And this shifting has cost us enormously."

"No. If you can't -- if you can't do one of those two things, you have hit the nail on the head. We have a serious containment issue."

"Why do we have seven times the number of troops in Iraq that we have in Afghanistan? I think that tells the story."

"There is no other reason to be in Iraq a year from now than standing up the Iraqi forces or chasing al Qaeda or protecting our facilities."
