We are staying on the offensive against the enemies of Afghanistan, and we will continue that process throughout the fall and throughout the winter,

When you’re trying to put the pieces back together again, you need a lot of time and a lot of patience,

We have to be prepared for uncertainty after the announcement of the candidates,

I think that tomorrow what we are going to have with the elections here, we’re going to have a record turnout,

We are taking a look back into Europe and the USA and getting more helicopters from there,

It’s a huge effort, it’s got to be a sustained effort, and we’re here with our Pakistani friends, with our allies, working as a team to get this massive mission done,
