We can't stay in Afghanistan forever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We can stay in Afghanistan and stabilize the situation, or we can get out and win, or we can get out and lose.
We cannot allow Afghanistan to become again a haven for terrorists who inspire, plan and provide support for attacks like those of 11 September 2001, of 7 July 2005 in London, and more.
Afghanistan must never again be a safe haven for terrorism.
I don't think the Taliban will ever come back to take Afghanistan, no.
We can't afford to see Afghanistan roll backwards into a failed state that could become a base from which terrorist campaigns can be launched anywhere in the world.
Right now we're on the President Obama plan, and we'll stay with that. And from my perspective, the reason we're there is to make sure that we can achieve the principal goal which is ensure that Afghanistan can never become a safe haven for a terrorist organization like al Qaeda.
Our presence in Afghanistan is not worth the price of any more American lives or treasure.
It is very clear that the people in Afghanistan do not want the Taliban back.
America's foreign policy lacks the backbone to do the right thing in Afghanistan - which is leave.
We can stay in Afghanistan and the Middle East forever, and it won't make a difference.
