Text Quotes
I do spend a lot of weekends on the road. I have to pace myself. It can be pretty busy, but I’m not out in the Afghan desert with 70 pounds on my back, away from my family for a year at a time. I keep a good perspective on it.  (Afghan Quotes) I wanted to write about Afghanistan before the Soviet war because that is largely a forgotten period in modern Afghan history.  (Afghan Quotes) We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al-Qaeda didn’t come back, and make sure the Taliban wasn’t resurging. It didn’t work out.  (Afghan Quotes) The Afghan security forces will always have the help of the U.S. American military to ensure that Afghanistan never fails.  (Afghan Quotes) The United States supports the reintegration of people who have fought with the Taliban into Afghan society provided they: one, renounce al Qaeda, two, lay down their arms and renounce violence, and three, participate in the public political life of the country in accordance with the constitution.  (Afghan Quotes) We provide transit facilities, we cooperate in equipping the Afghan army and security forces with arms and helicopters, we cooperate in training officers for law enforcement agencies.  (Afghan Quotes) As a 22-year Army Veteran who served in Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, and as a Civilian Advisor to the Afghan Army in Operation Enduring Freedom, I understand both the gravity of giving the order, and the challenge of carrying it out.  (Afghan Quotes) We will also be funding projects that empower women and children in Afghanistan and now and then give scholarships to Afghan students here in the Bay Area.  (Afghan Quotes) In Afghan culture, you don’t date - you marry. Even talking to boys before marriage brings great shame to your family.  (Afghan Quotes) WikiLeaks published the Afghan War Logs and U.S. diplomatic cables stolen from a classified network by an Army private.  (Afghan Quotes) In all the debate about Afghanistan, we don’t hear much about our obligation to the wretched lives of Afghan women. They are being treated as collateral damage as the big boys discuss geopolitical goals.  (Afghan Quotes) I didn’t want kabobs, Afghan music, and rules that required girls to be carefully monitored. I wanted mac and cheese, country music, and independence.  (Afghan Quotes) The dangers of an Afghan collapse are many: Afghan deaths, a loss of American prestige, a loss of NATO prestige, a moral blow to U.S. troops and veterans, a Taliban resurgence, huge setbacks for women, and greater power for Pakistan and Pakistani extremists.  (Afghan Quotes) Carolyn Maloney has been a consistent fighter for Afghan women but also for International Family Planning Bills.  (Afghan Quotes) In 1979, when I was toddler, the Russians invaded Afghanistan, and my whole family fled to Vienna, Virginia. Far from home, my parents were determined to raise my two sisters and me according to Afghan traditions.  (Afghan Quotes) Watching young Afghan skaters in the film ‘Skateistan’ made me realize why I’ve spent my entire life as a skateboarder.  (Afghan Quotes) We’re probably going to see some post-2014 military presence - some U.S. presence and a NATO presence - and while we’ve got much work to do in the next 29 months, we’ll have additional time later for the continued professionalization of the Afghan security forces.  (Afghan Quotes) We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al - Qaeda didn't come back, and make sure the Taliban wasn't resurging. It didn't work out  (Afghan Quotes) When Bush had an opportunity to capture or kill bin Laden, he took his focus off of him, outsourced the job to Afghan warlords and bin Laden escaped  (Afghan Quotes) We have a variety of intelligence and we’re sure we’re going to catch Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar this year. We’ve learned lessons from Iraq and we’re getting improved intelligence from the Afghan people  (Afghan Quotes) The reasoning for our civil-military plan is that lasting success will be when the Afghan government, security forces and people can resist the insurgents and terrorists themselves.  (Afghan Quotes) Hospitality is one of the things the Afghan population is famous for, but nobody says that anymore. Now they’re terrorists - and they’re not. They’re people.  (Afghan Quotes) If American forces leave Afghanistan, the Taliban is going to do what to America? Don’t say you’re worried about what they will do to the Afghan people. If that was America’s concern, America’s operational presence there would be much different.  (Afghan Quotes) We are not in Afghanistan because girls were not allowed to go to school, but helping them do so will give the Afghan people hope for a better future.  (Afghan Quotes) We as the Afghan people and government are willing to help Pakistan work for peace in Afghanistan and work for peace in Pakistan, together.  (Afghan Quotes) The reality is that [Barack] Obama has some 15 countries in the current Libya coalition. President Bush put together close to 50 countries for the Afghan coalition, some 40 countries for the Iraqi coalition, more than 90 countries for the Proliferation Security Initiative and over 90 countries in the Global War on Terror  (Afghan Quotes) It is painful to talk about it, but even with its 110,000 elite soldiers, the Soviet Union never managed to gain control over the entire Afghan territory  (Afghan Quotes) To understand Afghanistan, you have to face the stress the average Afghan deals with  (Afghan Quotes) The yearning to be Afghan, to be part of the country, part of the land helped me separate myself from the casual traveler and claim my Afghan identity  (Afghan Quotes) The fact is that Iran doesn’t want to see the Taliban come back any more than do most Afghan citizens  (Afghan Quotes)
