I was hoping to be able to announce a date. I cannot announce a date, but it is our intent to begin those hearings in early February
It is absolutely essential that they understand that our presence there … is not open ended ... Our primary goal is to help the Afghan security forces to get to the point where they are able to take the predominant role in defending and protecting the Afghan people.
If we cannot persuade NATO to do what they promise, I think we should have no alternative but to fill the gap
It's very troubling indeed

not only understand and acquiesce, but in many cases privately support the drone attacks ... the minimum we should expect is a silence on their part rather than a public attack on us.
What troubles me is the public attack on these drone attacks when at the same time they've privately obviously not told us that we must stop
It's everything from physical actions that could be accomplished in terms of use of drones or air attacks, it could be clandestine actions
If they’re not going to provide additional combat troops, for heaven’s sake, they surely ought to not only carry out their commitments, but make additional ones so that we don’t have such a shortfall

The figures were stunning as to the increase in the number of Afghan recruits that came in immediately after setting of that date by President Obama
I was really surprised to see what a major shortfall we have in that area
What I saw here is almost totally positive
we ought to consider a broad range of options in Yemen because the broad-ranging threat of al-Qaida
I think that these are proven threats to the United States, and if we identify them, it's appropriate for us to act against them
The new counterinsurgency strategy is taking hold
Everything from physical actions to clandestine actions should be considered ... All options... not all options, most options should be considered.
These millions of dollars of investment in Michigan’s economy will get people back to work in well-paying manufacturing and research jobs
I just think it's wrong for them, I've told them that to their face
The vast majority of Taliban, particularly these low-level Taliban, can be re-integrated providing there is a plan. We talked about that plan and it will be a plan we hope he will announce before London
