"the United States does not have a clear expression... we are not projecting, to anyone in Afghanistan, a clarity of purpose right now."

"Bin Laden's death deals an enormous blow to al-Qaeda's ability to operate."

"This event enhances America's security and it brings us closer to our objective of dismantling and destroying al-Qaeda."

"They need help in setting up a justice system, courts, police, all of the elements of a functioning state."
