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

We can expect more fighting in the weeks ahead as the enemy attempts to return Afghanistan to the dark days of the past in an effort to impose the will of a very few over the democratically stated choice of many,

The Pakistani government and military are trying still to make a determination of the requirements they will need during winter, ... It's fair to say the requirement is still not known.

This question of partnering is something we've now aggressively adopted, ... but perhaps we could have moved on that piece a little bit earlier.

Our forces are able to go on the offensive, working in partnership with the Afghan national security forces.

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