I Don't Want To Go Negative On Franklin Delano Roosevelt, But He Didn't Pass An Economic Deal In The First 100 Days. We Have Passed The Largest Recovery Act In The History Of The Country.

I Think Indeed Our Response On Counterinsurgency Needs To Be Finely Tuned To The Needs Of Afghanistan. This Is Not Iraq. We Don't Have A Sons Of Iraq Here. We Don't Have The Same Divisions Here That We Had Between Sunni And Shia.

Counting The Numbers Of Troops Is Not Going To Define Our Success Here.there Is No Military Success, Ultimately, To Afghanistan. The Afghans Themselves Are Going To Define What Happens Here. And We Have To Convince Ourselves That We Have A Strategy In Place That Empowers Them To Do That And That Is Realistic In What Our Expectations Are From Them And On What Schedule.
