Carl Levin actually said...

"For the sake of our military men and women who are, or will be, deployed in harm's way, as well as the well-being of our Nation, we have to get the strategy right."

"We need not only to 'Afghanize,' but also to 'NATOize' the Afghanistan mission."

"That means recruiting of soldiers and police needed to quickly expand Afghan forces; it means serious anticorruption efforts; it means national reintegration and reconciliation policies, and retention..."

"An adequately funded plan for reintegration is long overdue."
