This war is destroying our ability to meet the threat down the road,

The public has turned against this war. And when the public turns against the war, Congress reacts to that.

Ability doesn't win on the road, toughness does, and we weren't tough enough. We didn't defend the ball well enough, or rebound or take care of the ball well enough. They had easy scores and we didn't shoot well.

Torture scars not only its subject, it scars those who perpetrate it and those who are witnesses to it.

We're overextended worldwide, ... We have too small an Army for the job that we're doing, yet we can't increase the size of the Army because it's volunteer and we can't enlist anybody.

That's not the point. We want to protect our guys. This is all about our guys, and our moral standards and our moral standards in the world.
