The major polluters in the world today--China and India--are not Annex 1.

The developed countries under the Kyoto Protocol have specific obligations.

I would share that I think Senator Webb's comments about the difficulty of creating a fully functional government in Afghanistan are correct.

So it largely will depend on the competence and the willpower of the local Afghanis?

How are we going to know when our national task is finished?

To me, it is when we have reduced the threat and built that capacity locally to the point where they can be much more self-reliant in managing this problem.

I would say perhaps a brief period more than 30 years ago, for about 30 years, you could say that there was some sort of a functioning national army in Afghanistan, not previous to that and not since.

I appreciate what the President was saying when he talked about focusing this strategy more directly toward countering insurgency and eliminating the presence of the Taliban.

When is the last time that Afghanistan had an actual functioning national army that could clearly be said to be in control of operations inside its own country?

I would also submit that there should be ways to try to measure the true incentive, not simply from the current top leadership in Pakistan.

Unlike like the fat cats on Wall Street, I'm here on planet earth. We have to face facts.

But it will show up. And I'm confident it will create jobs and help our constituents stay in their homes.
