John Kerry actually said...

"What happens in Pakistan, particularly near the Afghan border, will, in my judgment, do more to determine the outcome in Afghanistan than any increase in troops or shift in strategy."

"We owe it to our troops and our civilians, who will face these dangers, to come together as Americans."

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

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