"The benchmarks will make it more likely we win. Withdrawing on an artificial timetable means we lose."

"The race is over as far as a lot of the punditry goes."

"The voters out there need to ask the question which political party will support the brave men and women who wear our uniform, when they do their job of protecting America."
